AM-Sleeper: 1973 Ambassador Brougham with 401
The Ambassador was AMC’s top-of-the-line car for almost two decades, and this one comes with the best engine available. We love the high output/plain sedan combination! Sure, this engine was choked down a bit by 1973, but this car should offer plenty ‘o torques, even when one considers the mass of this car. AMC never…

AMC Eagle Wagon with Manual
Wagon body, inline six cylinder engine, all wheel drive and a clutch pedal – does it get any better? Well, okay, there are faster and more attractive wagons that check those boxes, but they lack the retro coolness of this one. The particular example has about 130K miles, which means the ubiquitous AMC 4.2-liter I6…

Feel Truly Free by Going Commando!
The Jeep Commando represented the final run of the Jeepster Commando, itself a rebirth of the Jeepster name originally used in the late 40s/early 50s. This one appears to be remarkably original, wearing its beautiful brown paint. For the Jeepster Command and Jeep Commando, the formula was something a bit more wagon-life vs. the Jeep…

Overjeansed Jeep
This is something of a dual special edition CJ-5, what with Renegade and Levi’s both being present. The seller doesn’t disclose much, but does point out it has a new carb, new clutch and new radiator. It sounds like it could have been sitting and had a recent restart? If the mechanical condition comes close…

Pre-Audi AWD from the US of A
Just a few days ago, we shared a delightfully brown AMC Spirit and lamented its lack of all-wheel drive. When it rains, it pours; so today’s feature is an AMC Eagle SX/4. This time, the only regret is the engine. This is a claimed 67K mile, two-owner car, although it appears that the wheels have been…

Awesomely Brown AMC Spirit
This is the brownest car we’ve seen in a while, which makes it among the best cars we’ve seen recently. This is a claimed very low mileage (73K) car, and the condition backs up the claim. While it’s not perfect, the seller correctly claims this as a survivor. One would hate to refurbish this car…

Former Avocado Hauler Has Inline Six, Four-Wheel Drive and Manual Transmission
If you’re considering a small beater truck for hauling and some off-road duty, why not go with one based on the highly-capable XJ Cherokee and which isn’t seen every day? We suggest the relatively rare Jeep Comanche. This truck once lived on an avocado farm, which is neither here nor there, except that it seems…

(sun)Dance the Night Away with Four Wheel Drive
Not long ago, we featured the delightfully odd AMC Eagle Kammback, which many say is the closest thing to a four-wheel-drive Gremlin. Today, we present the AMC Eagle Sundancer, which was a convertible version of the Eagle. These were modified by an outside firm, so weren’t 100% factory convertibles, but my understanding is that they…

This is NOT a Gremlin. It’s Even Better!
If it’s not a Gremlin, what is this car? It’s an AMC Eagle Kammback. The most familiar and popular AMC Eagle product from this era was the station wagon, but there were other body styles. This odd little hatchback is likely fairly off-road capable – it even has decent ground clearance. If you like the…

Just Another Jeans Gremlin
What’s not to love about a Levi’s Edition Gremlin? The seller calls this an excellent candidate for restoration. Is any Gremlin really excellent or worthy of restoration? I suppose you can keep costs down by finding matching denim at the thrift store (f-ing awesome!) to use on the seats. Click for eBay ad Tehama, CA…
