A school district in Ohio, the same one where I posted about buses that they’ve had up for auction on this very blog; is auctioning off Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler pickup bed tailgates that have never been opened or touched, and are still in the original box that they’ve been packaged in.

These parts were packaged by Chrysler and had been produced under the design template that they had inherited from AMC.

I heard that after Chrysler had bought AMC and Jeep, that they had destroyed the entire inventory of AMC spare parts so that they can sell their own new cars and new Jeeps that have been produced under the ownership of Chrysler, rather than repairing AMC passenger cars that were still on the road and Jeeps that have been produced under the ownership of AMC.

I must be wrong about Chrysler not having wanted to supply parts for AMC passenger cars and Jeeps that have been produced under the ownership of AMC.
