[Amc-list] New Hornet

[Joe Fulton <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I picked up another Hornet today.  This one was close to being parted out.  I traded a 79 Spirit GT for it.  The Spirit needed body work and paint, and became more of a project than I wanted. 

This Hornet is a 76 model with 57,000 miles.  Deluxe type interior with pillowy type upholstery I haven't seen before.  Same stuff on the door panels and it appears to be factory.  Interior is very clean and complete.  Tan (what else?) with beige interior.  PS/PB 258 six.  No A/C.  The bad:  The engine overheated several years ago and it has sat idle since about 2002.  It should be fun project and one that I can work on after work in the evening.  Engine building is fun and doable after work.  Body work and painting is difficult for me because I have a small garage.

The 196 engine is progressing and should go into the 65 Rambler next weekend.
