I wanted a nice new Rambler American Rouge in 69 with a V8 auto and a
few options but after 4 years in the Navy i had squat for money. The 74
Hornet was bought when I was married for 4 years and my daughter was 3
years old and I was tired of putting money into the used 69 Rebel Money
pit I bought from my father 2 years previous. So I sucked it in and
bought the Hornet. My son's came after I paid off the 3 year note. The
only complaint I have had with the car is the Motorola Alt. that lasts
only 10,000 miles. That is why I went through all the grief of getting a
Delco to go in the orange car.

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.

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,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).Hal

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.
