Brendan,

I'm sure everyone appreciates your enthusiasm but I think you need to take 
a step back and figure out what you really want. In the past, you've listed 
that you're willing to buy just about anything AMC ever made but for your 
own happiness, you need to figure out what you want. If you're not sure, 
I'd suggest attending a few AMC car shows and figuring it out.

Depending upon what you're after, $1500 may not buy you very much. You may 
be able to find a decent (but still needing lots of work) American or 
Hornet for that but if you decide you want one of the performance cars, 
that same money probably isn't going to buy you much so don't be in such a 
hurry to spend it. Another benefit of taking your time is that you can sock 
a little more money away while you're off finding the perfect car.

Besides, the couple places people have already suggested you look, here are 
a few more:
- eBay (know exactly what you're looking for and problems specific to that 
model, if you're not sure about common problems, this list would be a good 
place to ask once you know what you want)
- AMC club classifieds
- Your local newspaper (you may also want to take out a want ad)
- Local salvage yards (sometimes, people take old cars there for the simple 
reason they're old or they're old and have simple mechanical problems).
- Small used car lots (same advice as eBay here)

Finally, you're in an area that uses lots and lots of road salt which 
usually means lots and lots of rust. If you're willing to travel a few 
hundred miles, you can get out of the road salt areas and find cars with 
better bodies. A mechanical disaster is going to be easier and less 
expensive to fix that a cosmetic one.
