Good salvage score... Am/Fm/CB radio in '78 concord

[Gremlingts@xxxx]

 After futilely hitting a lot of Dollar Tree stores for the small Coke 
glasses ( that have apparently sold out ), I visited one of my fav junk 
yards, the ol' Richmond, VA variety of Pick-N-Pull. Only AMC there car-wise 
was a '78 Concord, yellow with cream vinyl top. Straight 6, auto. Several 
nice items on the car :

Tilt column
luxurious seats, although passenger side wouldn't stay upright.
AM/FM/CB radio, damaged some but possibly fixable. 

Had what looked like two big-block heads in the trunk, non-AMC. staggered 
valves. I didn't bother looking too closely. I was down to $11 at this point, 
the damn stinkin' bank machine earlier decided to keep my card. !%*@& So, I 
went up to the office to check to see whether I'd have to pay $5 or $15 for 
the radio...$5, they said. {{{{{{{SNATCH!!}}}}}
It is also missing the face plate and knobs, but everything else was there, 
and not damaged, so I bought it. I now have 3 of these Am/Fm/CB radios, 
hopefully I can get one good one out of the 3 to install back into the 
Gremlin GT. I noticed the label on the radio stated it was Made in Japan by 
Mitsubishi Electronics for AMC. Oh well, so the AMC parts weren't all USA 
made. :) Maybe I can still get it fixed if I send it to Japan! LOL. 
I wanted the AMC steel rims for spares, one nice one in the trunk, one on 
the ground behind the car. But I'll have to go back, I guess. I would also 
like those seats, a little dirty, but could be cleaned up, and would fit 
nicely in the '71 Sunroof Gremlin which needs seats BADLY. They were plush, 
too. I might also grab the column, not that i really need it. 
Only other AMCs were a couple of Jeeps, with v-8s, and again, both 
distributors missing the gear on the end...there must be gold in them, every 
time I see one, it's missing the gear! I know someone had wanted the A/C 
pulley setup, so maybe I'll grab a set of V-8 and 6 cylinder pulleys and 
brackets, actually my '74 Gremlin needs the bracket as my friend got that. So 
I think another trip south next week will be in order, to try to salvage some 
more parts before the crusher gets it. Looks like someone has been wrenching 
on it, parts were laying on the top of the motor, trim parts. Hope they 
didnt' want the radio! The driver's door was also gone, the fenders and pass. 
door were still there. I don't really need the fenders, though. Anyway, 
that's my JY report for the day, if anyone needs any other specific parts off 
it, better tell me now, I might grab them for ya. Later,

Jerry
long day on the road...
