AMC RULES 37,102 #1 Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) you just gotta...take a chance. Recent C/L offering...C-160 sitting outside, unused for the past year, flat front tires, dead battery, no spark, below freezing, so the trans was locked up. Seller helped me push it up the ramps, and into the truck...once back home...was running, driving, and mowing within the hour after unloading.

953 nut 54,328 #2 Posted March 6, 2016 Nice find, probably got a real good buy considering the circumstances. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 37,447 #3 Posted March 6, 2016 Was there a prize for my C-1## guess? I couldn't quite tell if it was a 120 or 160 from he mirror shot. Great find. Looks like good tin, seat, tires. Get Hank to butter up those pitted tie rods and she's perfect. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,102 #21 Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks Tom...yeah, the seats not too bad, just that one crack in the vinyl... wish there was some good way to repair it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know, that's the only sad thing about these seats. A well placed piece of electrical tape can make it an amazing "5 footer" though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,102 #23 Posted March 7, 2016 Yeah, but... when you least expect it, that tape adhesive jumps off the seat, and onto your pants. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to check all the pics from last years show! The seat of my 520-H was half electrical tape. I might have unintentionally acquired a tail. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
