RE: [BaadAssGremlins] CANE Hornet, Hornet GX, Camaro XF...

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

Yup. Like the brochures say, they 'prices and 
specifications subject to change without notice'.

This is why I refer to my copper Hornet as an 
'Early-73' and my blue one as a 'Late-73'. The
Blue car has the same '74 changes you noted.

In 1974, they also made a running change. Early-
74s have the 73/74 grille with round lights. 
Late-74s got the 75-77 grille with rectangular 
lights.

Now- the Cane wagon...that sticker was typed up 
at the dealer, right? I'll grant it's possible 
it was a dealer-custom, like those Hornet GX 
stripe kits and such. Just a tacky tack-on to
create a model that didn't exist before. Was the
82/84-ish Camaro 'XF' stripe package local only to 
the northeastern US or do others recall that 
dopey sticker package?

I don't see a delivery date, but believe it may have been late in the
model 
year. It's a '73, but the Hornet script is off the hood and on the
fender. 
The filler neck is hidden behind the rear plate where it was moved for
'74. 
I read where AMC, along with other manufacturers, got exemptions to
extend 
the model year into new production to get more cars in under the yearly 
emmissions standards. I know Chevy did this for a least one year in the 
early 80's for S-10's.
