Dzimm Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 How does an entire body go NOS. Did they used to sell bodies back in the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 1-1/2 hours from me, just northwest of Milwaukee... Wow, what a price tag. I’d rather road trip to New Mexico and get a rust free entire Jeep, no work necessary that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the second one I've seen in the wild. I wanted to buy the first one for a Cherokee I had at the time but it didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they had some sort of contingency to prevent that tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I've heard there are 3 of those currently in the NOS flavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, AMC used to sell complete bodies "in the white" (unpainted). For grins and giggles, some us in the Javelin/AMX Club sat down one weekend with a parts book and tried to figure out what it would cost to buy everything from the factory and build our own AMX. At the time, IIRC, you could buy a new AMX for around $5,000. The cost to buy all the parts came to around $25,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't surprise me, quite the markup there and you still had to build it yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
