We hear about barn finds and classic cars being sprung out of barns seemingly on a daily basis, but hardly ever do you run across a field of classic cars of a singular make. They’re out there, but more often than not they’re owned by “Old Man Jim,” who refuses to part with a so much as a single piece of trim, even off of the most dilapidated example.
However it must be a new day, as one collection owner must have finally realized that he had bitten off a bit more than he can chew, and is unloading his entire herd! That’s right, a massive collection of AMCs, consisting of Gremlins, Matadors, Javelins, Ramblers and largely AMXs are being sold as a single lot – for $160,000!
Located on the Houston, Texas Craigslist, the AMCs are being sold as complete cars; nothing is being stripped or parted out for the sake of the sale. If you want to buy a bumper, the you’ll have to buy it with the rest of the car attached! He also has tons of parts and engines laying around, but won’t sell anything off individually. Apparently, if you want to buy anything, you have to buy the entire lot! If you look closely at one of thictures, he also seems to have a ’65 GTO in his corral as well!
