    Dare to be Different: AMC Rambler American Wagon

    Are you looking for a surf wagon, but don’t want to park next to three other Nomads at every event?  How about this 1960 Rambler American wagon? The car appears to be nice and straight.  You’ll have to decide if you want to paint or leave it a little rat roddish.  The engine is a…

  • Subtle Luxury: AMC Hornet Sportabout Gucci Edition

    Subtle Luxury: AMC Hornet Sportabout Gucci Edition

    What could be more tasteful and luxurious than a 1970s luxury special edition from AMC? The seller claims one prior owner and 82K original miles, though it has a few needs from lack of use.  Does $4,500 seem like a bargain for the lap of AMC luxury?  Yes, someone thought this was a good idea.…

  • AMC Body on a Mercedes Chassis?  Why not?

    AMC Body on a Mercedes Chassis? Why not?

    Here you get not one, but two titles!  Yes, the seller decided to take body panels from an AMC Javelin and put them onto a Mercedes “SD”, which, we assume, means a 300SD.  Given neither is of body on frame construction, it seems this means the body panels were grafted onto the Mercedes unibody, but…

  • Rare Beast: AMC Rebel SST Wagon

    Rare Beast: AMC Rebel SST Wagon

    I’ve never seen one of these and I’m not sure exactly what makes it an SST, but I like it! It seems a previous owner started taking off trim pieces to start body and paint and never got anywhere with the project.  The seller claims almost all pieces comes with the car.  This is certainly…

  • Grand Wigglyneer

    Grand Wigglyneer

    This is our second Grand Wagoneer in about a week, but how could we pass this one up?  It seems someone decided a Grand Wagoneer would make a great convertible.  That makes about as much sense as a Murano Convertible, but the Murano at least lost a couple doors in the process. This one retained…

  • WTF Pricing: Jeep Grand Wagoneer

    WTF Pricing: Jeep Grand Wagoneer

    Sure, it has almost no miles, but $119K?  Really?  What would one do with this?  Would you drive it and risk it being worth the $15-30K this would fetch with 30 to 50K miles, or just look at it? The seller is a (or THE) well-known Grand Wagoneer restoration shop, so they should know better.…

  • One-Off Turbocharged AMX Pace Car

    One-Off Turbocharged AMX Pace Car

    So the AMC Pacer just doesn’t speak to you because it never actually paced anything?  How about an AMX Spirit AMX heavily customized to pace the IndyCar World Series in 1981? The seller claims 450HP and it might be true with 18 pounds of boost on a 4.2L I6.  As noted below, this engine was…

  • Cherokee Chief

    Cherokee Chief

    These just don’t come around often anymore, but were once a fairly common sight.  They were always badass, and the big block in this one backs that up. Obviously, the exterior isn’t good aesthetically, but the seller claims there’s little bodywork to be done, so it’s mostly paint if you would choose to touch it.…

  • More AMC goodness: Eagle SX4

    More AMC goodness: Eagle SX4

    The other day, we posted an AMC Eagle Kammback and referenced the other available body styles.  It’s been awhile since we featured an SX4, which was the “sporty” Eagle liftback, and this one happened along.  We dig the four-speed manual and apparent overall condition of this car, even with the Shelby stripes.  That being said,…
