It's rare to find a low milage clean car anywhere in the north especially any kind of AMC. My 30 year old original Hornet has sat in the same garage for 30 years and only saw 4 N.Y. winters before I bought a winter beater. I lucked out on the new Hornet as it spent the first 24 years of it's life in Florida so it is a 99% rust free car. It's just that the heat and the suns UV rays killed the plastic on the dash and on a few other sun exposed parts. From extra parts I had and a few savable parts from the original dash and with parts from a friends Gremlin here in N.Y. and parts that Rick gave me I have all he parts I need to make a completey new dash.
