Re- the 'All AMXs, No Ramblers at car shows' thread...here's one!

["John W Rosa" <JohnRosa@xxxx>]

Rambler-fanatics, rejoice.

You may recall the AMC List recently had a thread 
concerning the lack of representation that the 
'grocery-getter' AMCs and Ramblers have at most 
shows, while powerhouse Javelins and AMXs abound.

Here's a car that, while not, cheap, shouldn't be,
and is a beautiful example of what AMC was really 
all about, and the kind of car that kept them 
afloat for years. This thing deserves to make the
rounds at the shows.

And if your State has a 'film commission', this thing
should be registered with them so that it can appear 
in area film projects requiring 'real cars of the 
mid-1970s'. Imagine how neat this will look in a
driveway during a movie about the late-1970s.

Aside from an automatic transmission, this '77
Hornet 2-door sedan is as basic as they came.
232-1v engine, Manual brakes and steering, dog
dish caps, split-bench, No AC, No Radio, No
Vinyl top......'no' nuthin'. And just 22,000
miles on it (yes, it was 'grandma's ride)!

If the price tag scares you, send her a note 
suggesting what you are willing to pay for it.
If this were my kind of car, I wouldn't quibble,
as the opening bid isn't very high at all 
considering the condition and mileage. Sure, you
can get a nice X with a 304 for that amount, in
nice shape, too. But there's a charm in this car 
you don't get with mags and stripes.
