Hot Rod 1974 AMC Gremlin!

Groovy Interior: 1970 AMC Gremlin Levi Edition

It is rare that I start a review with a picture of the interior but this 1970 AMC Gremlin has the optional Levi Complete interior. The car is listed here on eBay with 2 days remaining and the winning… more»

390-Powered Project: 1969 AMC Javelin

AMC got into the pony car game in 1968 with the Javelin. And just like Ford’s Mustang was based on the Falcon platform, the Javelin used the Rambler American’s. Javelins could be had from mild to wild, with a… more»

401 Powered! 1973 AMC Ambassador

Gremlins Begone! 1980 AMC Spirit DL

Just like the Concord was an evolution of the Hornet, so was the Spirit of the Gremlin. Not that the Gremlin was a bad car (it wasn’t), its strange name and looks had run their course. But the Spirit… more»

1972 AMC Javelin AMX Barn Find!

American Motors turned a lot of heads in the late 1960s with the AMX, a shortened two-seat version of the Javelin. It would become AMC’s first and only attempt at building a sports car. As a muscle car, they… more»

Nicest One Left? 1981 AMC Spirit DL

One of the best and most reliable cars that I have ever owned was a 1991 Dodge Spirit that I put over 300,000 miles on. Oddly enough, we also own a Hoover Spirit vacuum cleaner. Neither of those two… more»

Stored Since ’84: 1970 AMC Rebel Machine

Times have certainly changed and names are everything these days. Many automobile monikers don’t make any sense or are unpronounceable. One Korean auto conglomerate, who will remain nameless, has a model line-up that sounds more like a geography lesson… more»

Custom Sleeper: 1966 Rambler American 440

The American served as the entry-level car for AMC between 1958 and 1969 and was the second incarnation of the Rambler compact from the Nash-Hudson days. Until the Hurst SC/Rambler was built in limited numbers in the American’s final… more»

Forest Find: 1964 Rambler Ambassador 990-H

4.0 Jeep Transplant: 1974 AMC Gremlin X

A restored Gremlin? I love the idea of someone pouring a ton of time and money into restoring a 1974 AMC Gremlin X, I really do. It’s not a Hemi Cuda or some other high-buck muscle car but this… more»

1 of 784: 1971 AMC Hornet SC/360

AMC replaced the venerable Rambler American in 1970 with the Hornet, a more stylish looking compact than its predecessor. Whether inspired by the success Plymouth had with putting a 340 into a Duster or to continue down the performance… more»

Sporty 4×4: 1983 AMC Eagle SX/4

This 1983 AMC Eagle SX/4 is claimed to be a low-mileage example despite appearing a little rough around the edges, with 48,000 miles showing on the odometer. It certainly needs some love in the cosmetics department, but as an… more»

Garage Kept: 1971 AMC Gremlin

AMC made almost 700,000 Gremlins and a lot of them seem to be showing up here on Barn Finds lately, which is a good thing in my world. They’re always interesting, even project cars. This original California car, a… more»

Solid Project: 1968 AMC AMX

Solid muscle car projects are continually getting harder to find. Ones that are complete with the seller not asking an arm and a leg are even harder to find. That’s why a spotting a decent project like this one… more»
