C'mon, folks. This car seems to be *SO* worth some effort to save! I'm tempted (as usual) to buy and transport it back to Jersey...but I'm trying to resist yet another car. BUY IT AND SAVE ME FROM MYSELF!! Considering the $700-$800 price, and that much again for transport, you'll invest $1600 before fixing a thing...but she looks worth it to me, being so complete and un-altered. It's been on eBay a few times, and for sale for quite a while (as I have several photos archived from last year). Here are some specs, per the seller: "Vehicle Description This is an easy restoration. All original, one owner, documented low mile 1973 AMC Hornet X hatchback. I have all the original paperwork. It is heavily optioned: 258, auto, visibility group, hidden storage compartment, vinyl roof, Twin Grip, heavy duty suspension (part of the trailer towing package), A/C package, P/DB, P/S, rear window defogger, tilt wheel, light group, am radio, energy absorbing rear bumper, protection group and scuff moulding. It is Maxi Blue w/ blue vinyl interior and white vinyl top. The winning bidder will have the option of purchasing an NOS AMC Hornet tent kit which includes the vinyl covered mattress pad (very rare!) that was available with the kit for $300.00. Everything is there and unmolested. Vehicle Condition Exterior: One very minor 1/8" rusthole and one 3/4" rust crack in the quarters. A few other surface rust areas and as you can see some paint missing. Other than dents on the bottom of each door the body and trim are very straight. Interior: Carpet is good but faded, seats need redone. The rest of the interior is nice with the exception of the drivers door panel. Drivetrain: Runs good but needs a tune up. "No" fluid leaks. Needs brakes bled and a tailpipe." See the ended auction at- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2490285197 then contact the seller at LynnJPedersen@xxxxxxx I have several better photos I can forward to interested parties, so ask. It's interesting how Gremlins get so much attention and love for being so 'odd' looking, and late-Javelins get a similar adoration, yet the car right in-between seems to be a less-revered, if not near-forgotten, item (unless it's an SC/360 version). My theory is this- to non-AMCers, it's just another AMC- not worthy of their attention. To AMCers (who like the quirky designs and underdog aura), the Hornet hatchback is just too mainstream and normal looking. No chopped rear, no huge flares or roof spoilers...nothing to attract the oddball lover in us. But then, doesn't that make in an oddball of an AMC?? Whatever...I've always thought they were one of the most balanced, attractive and classy shapes AMC put out. They should have been a much bigger hit than they were. I know there needs to be more of them at the shows I've been to. Go BUY IT, damn it!! John
