Would anyone in the Northeast happen to have a 195.6 Iron short or long
block thats not locked up?
Rebuildable core? Rotted out parts car? I got a Classic barn find, sitting
for 30 years inside. Interior needs work but body and undercarriage is
pretty good for the year. Motors stuck and I've tried all the tricks to no
avail.
Thanks Mike

I was generalizing it as saying AMC, Is there even a way to add it all up?
Hudson + Nash + Rambler + AMC, Jeep + AM General + Eagle '54-'87?

"Up-grade my estimate(--total guess)?to over 2 million AMCs from
'54-78.?? --'Loved Gremlins & Hornets--easily kept-up with most traffic,
even with base engines.? Different looking, reliable AC."
The Gremlins & Hornets sold well for AMC & is what kept AMC in business in
the 1970s. Reliable? Yes, I drive a number of them DAILY in 2013 and always
have driven AMC, no big deal, start car, drive, go to point A come home to
point B whether road trip to Corpus Christi, or across Houston. I like
wagons AMC built too:
http://www.planethoustonamx.com/amc-station-wagons.jpg
Paige just drove off with kids to the poll off westview about hour ago, she
has taken a liking to that low miler 82 Concord woodie wagon. Was 39K when
bought, it has never been out of Houston since sold new here at Vance & Sons
AMC on bellaire. Now has 59K miles on it.
"With most viewing the Gremlin as a "lemon" I was shocked over 600K unit
were produced. Some how if they were all that bad I don't think so many
would have gotten built."
The Gremlins, Pacer always got a bad rap. Now...in 2013 look at cars around
you & see how many have no ass end like Gremlin. How many are rolling
aquariums like Pacer, all design lines from AMC many decades ago.

"I know AMC wasn't a brand until about 1958 or so, But it was a Manufacturer
since 1954. So weather they were called Hudson, Nash, Rambler, Eagle, Jeep,
or AM General I'd love to know how many were built in total."
==============================
"American Motors was founded in 1954, but didn't use "AMC" as a brand name
until 1967, when the Rambler name was dropped from the Ambassador and Marlin
models. "Rambler" was only used on the American for 68, and the
American/Rogue was simply known as the "Rambler" in 1969 -- the last year
Rambler was used as a brand or model name in the US. AMCs continued to wear
the Rambler brand name overseas, so you could get a Rambler Javelin in
Australia. It was used until sometime in the mid 70s in Mexico, then dropped
in favor of VAM (the joint venture company that produced AMCs in Mexico).
On page 128 of the "American Motors Family Album" (1976 version) there is a
photo of the last Rambler coming off the assembly line. The caption says
that from early 1950 through the 69 model year 4,204,925 Rambler models were
produced. That figure presumably excludes the 67+ Marlin and Ambassador and
all 68-69 models that didn't bear the Rambler name (except the Rogue). Well,
that's everything BUT AMC branded vehicles (from 1958-66 all AMC products
were Ramblers. that 4 mil+ figure includes 50-57 Nash and Hudson Ramblers as
well)."
I would be curious as to how many lumped in from 1900's Rambler models
http://www.planethoustonamx.com/press_photos/02rambler.jpg
to last Eagle built
http://www.planethoustonamx.com/stuff/last_amc_built.htm
were built. That would include Jeep under AMC banner, Nash, Hudson under AMC
name, VAM and so forth.
