Doc,

Sort of the same for me, with two daughters and that "big" GI pay I just never felt I could make payments . Then she turned out s-o-o good and s-o-o much fun that now I own three Gremlins, and two Javelins besides what the wife drives and what my Mom left me. Wish I had a garage large enough.

I didn't think I would keep mine this long either but circumstances like raising 3 kids and working in construction always seem to make it impossible to buy another new car. Besides I liked the old one to much to get rid of it. That was the reason bought the second one besides having a garage full of 74 Hornet parts. "Doc"

Doc,

I ordered mine while stationed with the Air Force in Japan in I think Dec73/Jan74 and picked her up in San Antonio TX in June of 74 when we got back Stateside. I looked for the paperwork but with the military moves it probably got tossed( didn't think I would keep her so long).

The reason I finally got on line 4 years ago was I lost out on a 65 American 440 solar yellow Twin Stick just like my first new car. It was 1,200$ and in N.J. listed in the AMO news letter. The phone no# listed didn't work as I think it was a fax no# and by the time I got a friend to E-Mail the guy the car was gone. Not being a high tech person I opted for a WEB TV which even with it's limitations serves my purpose. I found a whole new world on the net and have used it successfully to find parts for my then only AMC my yellow Hornet. I now belong to 6 AMC groups and 8 model groups including the AMC model group I started a few weeks ago. Without the net it would have been impossible for me to find all the big and little plastic parts to rebuild my interior in my orange car and the few other AMC specific mechanical parts I needed. This car ha s parts from Texas, California, Idaho, N.Y., N.J., Pa. Ct. Alabama, Mass, N.C., Michigan, Florida, and also from Canada and probably a few places I have forgotten about. As far as abuse for the brand of car I chose to drive it started in 1962 and only in the last 2-3 years has it actually almost stopped and I actually get compliments as I drive down the road on my cars. Personally I could care less about the negative remarks. After getting screwed out of the orange car 4 years previous to buying it as it was being towed to my friends place to store till I got insurance and plates we were stopped at a light and someone tried to buy it. Fat chance of that. Hey Hal which one of us has our cars longest? I bought mine on Feb 12th 74. Elder statesman I am not. I am just a fat old man that loves his AMC's and am lucky to have found a second one of the same year and model as the original 74 I bought new. "Doc"
