My AMC friend had one of those elusive sasquatch Concord Hatchbacks with the Targa Band on the roof before I knew him. I saw the car a couple of times before he parted it out. To tell you the truth I was not a fan of the body changes thhat AMC did to the Hornet to make it into a Concord and that Targa bar on the 77 Hornet AMX and the Concords looked out of place.
