33k Mile 1988 AMC Eagle 4WD Wagon

Easy Restoration? 1960 Rambler Custom Cross Country

Most people don’t realize that Rambler was one of the top five U.S. auto makes by production in the early 1960s. Of course, they were dwarfed by Chevrolet and Ford but still managed 4th in 1960, 3rd in 1961,… more»

Worth Fixing? $3,600 1969 AMC AMX Project
