1974 AMC Hornet Sportabout/ Savior of AMC?/ Tour, History of AMC and Will it RUN?!

[@nvrhme15]

I own a 73 Sportabout Gucci. I love driving it everywhere!

[@Thearchivescd]

That’s awesome! I know the Guccis were rather snazzy!

[@nvrhme15]

@@Thearchivescd yeah. It’s quirky but epic at the same time. It was a 71k original mile car when I found it. Put over 10k on it since I got it back on the road in October

[@ROGER45211]

Had a 75 sportabout same color loved it!!!

[@Thearchivescd]

They are pretty unique rides! Thanks for watching

[@JTTTTx]

That car, same color,roof rack etc with the 304 v8 was our honeymoon car back in the day. 1979. Have a 74 v8 Gremlin for the memories now.

[@Thearchivescd]

That’s awesome! They really are unique rides!

AMC is still alive today (just not known as AMC, or building cars). It's known as AM General (building trucks for the feds). Nice lil Sportabout you have there. They were great cars with quite a bit of space!

[@Thearchivescd]

That’s awesome! Yes, they are pretty neat little rides! Thanks for watching

My favorite is the amc eagle

[@Thearchivescd]

First with 4wd!

[@lovedadonald.]

Those cars weren't very flashy but they were cheap, reliable transportation and if you kept the oil and filters changed they'd run forever.

[@Thearchivescd]

Very true! Just a unique automobile! The wagon definitely looked the best. Thanks for watching!

[@PhillipMcCollough-z5j]

thats actually a pretty good looking vehicle. But AMC can never live down the Pacer and the Gremlin lol

[@Thearchivescd]

lol! That’s the truth

[@SICARNEWSDOTCOM]

And of course the Gremlin was just the Hornet body chopped in the rear

[@lovedadonald.]

The Gremlin X with V~8 power was a pretty cool little car. AMC didn't have deep pockets but they made some very reliable cars for young people and old folks that would certainly get you from point A to point B LOL.

83-84 was the first year of the xj

[@Thearchivescd]

Actually I knew you’d comment on this part! Xj man! Few years off, but yes. Need to do a XJ video soon of your collection!

[@jeffposs9753]

@@Thearchivescd not much of one but your more than welcome to come
