They have been featured in a number of articles thru years, a good one was in AMCRC national newsletter:

Automotivetraveler.com did a feature years ago which was picked up from Donnie's Gremlin X site:

one of the Collier boys stopped by my house about 7 years ago, really nice fellow I told him say hi to dad. His dad if you ever talk to him insists they are the oldest AMC dealership still in existence, however when pressed, I believe their franchise license ran out in about 1976. Still there though.

 

They even have a facebook page:

but I remember dealing with these good folks back when AMC still in business. & Hemmings blog featured them years ago:

so much has been said. I don't remember where I saw the photos but some of the cars inside were Nash Healeys!

A friend of mine was talking to a guy a a cruise-in the other night that said he found a goldmine of AMC Cars in NC. It's called Collier Motors AMC. Apparently its owne by some old dude that never shut down when AMC went out of business. He showed him pictures of several new old stock cars. all models including Javelins, Pacers, and Gremlins.  Some oly have 1500 original miles. Pretty amazing. Just thought I'd send you the info. They don't have a web site. They are located at 4713 US Highway 117 South, Pikeville, NC 27863. Business 919 242 4462. Cell 919 920 7428.  

 

I gave them a call, and they did not have much in the way of parts, but did have several cars to sell.
