Ay Carumba!! Tell that Mac-dude I want to contact the current
owner. I don't need the car, but would love to see if it is
even complete and solid anymore. Recent photos would be great.

Check out that ultra-funky side molding that rides around the
wheel wells!! How many got THAT???

Man, what a beautiful and rare rig she could be again!

Hey guys and gals, here is something you will never see.....a authentic
GUCCI Hornet Sportabout wagon WITH FACTORY 360V8. I know John Rosa is
drooling, as I just heard the burrito juice hit the monitor.
I had written to this fellow awhile back, as he asked me how many were made
and I had written a article in the ealry 90s about these rare cars, and told
him his 360/Gucci wagon was one of possibly 100-140 made if that, and one of
maybe, just maybe 2-5 left in existence. That is with 360/Gucci package.

The purists would hate the car, because he added all kinds of stuff over the
years to suit his taste...
Dual exhaust... Trailer hitch... CB radio...
He's quite the electronics whiz, so he added all kinds of gauges (monitoring
everything from the standard oil press and amps to tranny temp and tailpipe
temp), he built his own electronic ignition conversion and automatic
high-beam dimmer... His own digital tach...
And all kinds of stuff I can't even remember....
Kinda neat actually, 'cause it's all '70s era technology!!

The car is no longer in the family, but is owned by a friend of mine...
