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,
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' 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'
