Re: [AMC-list] wagons ho! (what did you do with your amc today)



Aggies love it, of course Texas A&M is about 1 1/2 hours from us so lots of Ags around Houston. Seems to be a common color, along with silver for 88 Eagles. I have never seen much literature or paint chip charts, not much of anything except owner manual's for 88 Eagles, seems AMC already had mind made up in May 1987 so simply told suppliers halt stuff.

Paige's 88 is the same colour as both my 88s.

It was 72 degrees here, supposed to be nice whole week, I know some of you
AMCers are
suffering this winter been brutal, but figured it was going to be nice, got
up early in
the 34 degrees morning, had a cup of Folger's and started washing AMCs. And
washing, and
still washing. Finally finished about 2pm, decided to take a 'group shot' for
my website
of AMC wagons. I purposely left out the:
68 Rebel convertible 'Machine, 69 Big Bad Orange Javelin, 71 SC/360 Hornet,
74 Javelin, 74
AMX, the other 74 AMX, and 77 AMX.

Just my wagons. Two of them here are sort of new, the Hurricane Ike Hornet
Sportabout 74,

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/hurricane-ike-hornet.jpg

it has 78K miles, 232, AT, AC, PS, original paint & interior, and have window
sticker and
original owner title, and drive it weekly, just put those AMC mags & new BF
Goodrich T/A
Radials on it also, it is a sweet ride although Fawn Beige, my least favorite
color AMC
made. The other is 'baby bessie'

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/baby-bessie-82.jpg

the 82 Concord DL wagon in Slate Blue, it has only 39K miles, 258, AT, PS,
PDB, tilt,
tint, cold AC, original owner Texas title, sold new here in Houston at Archer
AMC (as did
the Hornet), I bought this from orignal owner several months ago, runs super,
rebuilt the
trans, that is original spinner caps on it also.

Something it has under hood from factory is a Load Leveller. Not sure how
many of you ever
heard of that but it is factory Group 15 Accessory towing package with air
compressor
under hood. Quite neat to see one on Concord, sometimes you would find them
on Eagles.
I'll be putting up this Concord, the Hornet & possibly the 4 cyl 81 Eagle for
sale in
spring.

The other wagons are my trusty can't kill it 82 Eagle 'Planet Houston Swap
Meet tow car'

now at 210,000 miles and still looks great and happy to pull $40K+ SUV's out
of ditches
here in Houston easily, in back is my 72 Ambassador SST station wagon

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/72ambassador.JPG

that went for road trip yesterday, 360, aT, loaded, we got stuck in traffic
neat Egyptian
Embassy near Galleria here, that was neat, except for traffic, and that
wailing noises, in
back is my 81 Eagle, 4cyl, 4spd, wagon,

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/Picture_1161.jpg

it now has 100K miles and runs great, have never had a AMC anything get 25+
miles per
gallon,a nd up front is wife Paige's maroon 88 Eagle wagon,

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/paige-88-eagle-1050.jpg

nice loaded out car, is #1050 of only 2306 last year 88 AMCs ever made. Was
fun, but
tiring washing these wagons, but have not been able to wash any cars for
about month!

And the kids are allright:
