dfreeman616 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 like many of you...i would love to have something like that by the time i die. i wonder how much time all that took to get? see that bag with the center caps for turbine rims? what would it take to get those sent to 49507? i see the box next to it just says "center cap 86 xj," is that part of the same set?

sinkrun Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Strange how things happen I was thinking how cool that would be to see your find. Then I got a call to a old and house barn today and sitting in the barn, 62 plymouth volare convertable a 34 ford and one of thoses james bond cars look to be all fiberglass. Nothing has been run since mid 80`s. I quess there was a ton of NOS chevy parts but there gone also was a early lincoln that was sold allready. They are sitting on brick floors so this may have helped the frames he said $500.00 for the 62. I have allways been a mopar guy but that year is just UGLY. Sorry I did not have my camera we may be hauling the scrap out of there if we do I will get some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 62 model is very rare - you should grab it. :D Sure you don't mean a Plymouth Valiant? Now, those were really ugly.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correy offered me to ride with him, but if i did that i would miss a day of college classes, which right now with psychology, i can't afford to miss a day. sorry guys. :wall: :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jteckmann Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Wow. That's just an amazing collection, and he sounds like an awesome guy. I remember that kinda of the same thing happened when my Grandad passed. He had been a mechanic his whole life and when he "retired", built a 2-car shop in his backyard for a hobby/extra-income. When we went to clean the place out out, it was overwhelming - so many miscellaneous parts & supplies that none of us really had a need or space for at the time. We kept some small stuff, like display shelves, signs, etc., as mementos - but had to have an estate sale to handle the rest. It was mostly Ford/GM/Mopar stuff ... so nothing incredibly rare, Certainly not like this guy's place. I think it's really cool that other enthusiasts are going to get first crack at it. (BTW - that fiberglass shell looks like an AMX/3 That's an amazing find all by itself, and I hope someone is able to save/use it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts are to have everyone come over to my place to meet, and head over from there. The shop is about 20 minutes away from me. If you don't know my addy, shoot me a PM, and I'll shoot it back.

jeepdoggydogB Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 All I can say is WOW! That gentleman deserves something more so other lovers of AMC and Jeep appreciate his life long AMC/Jeep accomplishments. If it is OK with his family do you think we might have a section in comancheclub dedicated to such Jeep legends? We could post up the pics that Automan got from his shop and maybe from the April 10 get together? I am certain that there will be others deserving to be chronicled in that section as time passes. It could be our tribute to folks that gave their life and soul to jeeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
