My mom had an Ambassabor station wagon, ugly, unique, well I say ugly. A guy hit her one day, I found a AMC junkyard here, they actually had a Stationwagon in the yard, I got the fender, bumper and a few small bits. It was cool walking around there. A lot of cool AMC cars there.
I used to go to war hoops yard here at least once a year, they sold out and crushed all the cars, real sad.

Was that AMC junkyard on Groesbeck and Frazho (10 1/2 Mi) I used to stop by that place a long time ago, the owner lived in a house there, big old crabby guy, turned out to be really nice once you got to know him..

Sorry for the hijack but was this before the Motorama cars @ Warhoops were passed on to Joe Bortz in the mid 80's?
If yes, do you remember seeing them there also anything else special?
