  John, it's not an AMX, a BB Javelin, a Machine, a
SC/Rambler, or any kind of AMC convertible...so the
only EXTERNAL reason is what is it worth to YOU? If
you base your purchase on " what can I get for it if I
don't want it later", pass. If you really like the
car, and it's in nice shape otherwise, pursue it. I
NEVER decide on purchasing a car as to it's resale
value. Some people do. Those that do, won't buy a
Concord 4-door, a Hornet wagon, or even a Gremlin, as
it won't "return their investment" later, probably. I
don't look at cars as an investment as the top
consideration, I look at it from " do I really like
the car and want it?" perspective. I have spent $2,000
on car repairs on AMCs that  sit in my driveway. Still
cheaper than a $18,000 new car! 
  Assuming it's the sedan Kammback ( Gremlin-style ),
I'd thought one of these would make a neat
retro-Gremlin project, by using a body-colored window
tint film treatment to partially blank out the big
side rear glass so it looks like a Gremlin, but you
can see out from inside the car. One-way viewing. I
wasn't impressed with the non-different look with the
big side glass, but you could have the best of both
worlds, a Gremlin look with a more modern, custom
treatment of the glass area. Just a thought. :) 
  Hope it works out, Kammbacks are rare enough, and
unusual in their own right I guess. Buy it based on
your preferences, is my suggestion, or leave it alone.
Won't be a big reseller, I don't think. I'd take one
for $100, though! LOL.
