A white '75 and too much money? Sounds almost like the guy 
I met at the AMCRC meet this summer.

He has a very nice-looking '74 X with a factory 304. He 
claimed to be the original owner and seemed quite sincere 
when he reported the car was 'completely original' despite 
it wearing several items not offered by AMC, either at all 
or not until several years later. 'Incorrect' pieces 
included the dual exhaust and chrome exhaust tips, the air 
cleaner, the valve covers, the intake, the carb, the wheels 
(the wheels he admitted were add-ons), the all-blacked-out 
grille and the wheel flare pieces from a 1977 AMX mounted 
over the stainless '74 rocker trim which he insisted was 
factory-installed, despite the fact that AMC didn't 
manufacture such pieces 'til much later...and he didn't 
have the matching front air dam. His $15,000 asking price 
probably meant the car went unsold, as that seemed very 
high in my book.

If the price seems reasonable, and you have that kind of money 
available, do make me an offer on my '73 360...please! :)

On my way home yesterday from my friends shop I stopped to borrow a TSM
from my friend. While waiting for a traffic light a guy behind me starts
honking his horn and yelling at me. I was trying to figure out what I
did when he gets out of his SUV and walks up to my door telling me he
has a white 75 Hornet "X" Hatchback home in his garage. We couldn't talk
as the light turned green. I wonder if that was the car I passed on 1
1/2 years ago because the owner wanted to much money for it. Anyhow I
thought I knew all the local AMC guys in the area and there are not many
of us.
