1977 AMC AMX Hornet - Barn Find Part 2

[@noneed4me2n7]

Nice seeing you enjoy it so much.

[@possumwilliams2940]

Nice car... don't see them everyday 👍

[@JorgeRodriguez-po7kx]

In My Country never saw One not to mention that Only a very few People can buy and Maintain these Cars because The Replacement parts are expensive and next to impossible to find

[@ComputerLearning0]

Man what an awesome car this is. I fell in love with the Hornet after seeing 007 take one from the showroom floor and later do his famous barrel roll when they jumped a canal in 1974's James Bond flick, *The Man with the Golden Gun*. Although not the AMX version, it was a regular Hornet with the V8 option. AMC had some stinker automobiles over the years but the Hornet wasn't one of them and was one hell of an automobile :)

What a GREAT CAR for a tough year in performance of any car

[@jessierasberry4434]

Please you need to hush sometimes so people can hear the motor.

[@audieconrad8995]

OMG can't believe the condition of this car! It may be the best example (the only remaining?) of it's type in existence. These cars were as competitive as any smogged out mid-late 70's pig irons of the day... Including the Ford 302/Chrysler 318/GM 305. The 304 in a light compact would move this chassis along quite nicely including very decent handling. I owned a factory ordered '76 Hornet X with a similar drivetrain/Chassis set-up. It would absolutely run with and often outrun anything contemporary coming out Detroit at the time and looked good doing it. Great car - great fun. I hope the AMX in this video finds a proper owner. Long live AMC!

[@blueovalranch]

This thing was amazing, did you see the video of the day o got it with the very nice folks that bought it new!

[@audieconrad8995]

Denwerks Vintage Car Shop- yes I did see the vid. Hope the car landed with an AMC geek and found a good home/garage!

[@trainglen22]

This is my all time favorite Mid 1970's car. Thanks to the James Bond movie and a beautiful clean car

[@mayonueve]

The song is from - Los Invasores de Nuevo Leon - Mi Nueva Direccion .. . cool car

[@michaelshelley1289]

how can you not want to keep this gem??? (too bad it isn't a stick)

[@doctorzaius4084]

Would be even cooler with a 4-speed I agree, but the V8s only came with an automatic from the factory. If I had tons of money and owned this car (I wish!!) I don't think I'd bother changing the stock transmission either. The Chrysler TorqueFlite is one of the better automatics from this era and the 304 makes a very happy combination with it, especially in a car this light.

[@mpetersen6]

I had one of these. The 304 was a dog. But pretty much everything was a dog then. They'd look a lot better without the trim piece over the roof.

[@markanthony3275]

I like AMC for 4 reasons #1 AMX3...#2 AMX...#3 V8 Gremlin...#4 V8 Hornet AMX.

[@lukassmith5257]

Awesome time capsule.How much?

[@nellyfarnsworth7381]

Here a chip, there a chip, everywhere a chip chip. Old mack Donald had a AMX.

[@patmorales2459]

Cool ! Dude Almost looks like the Chevy Monza my dad had one once in 1988 And it was a stick’ 1980 model He used to take a trips to Western auto to gather yes detail armor all supplies

[@classic287]

Gorgeous car. A real hot sport. I have a 1975 Hornet sedan...

[@beforeyourimmigrants8471]

How much did you pay for it 6 years ago. I'm about to get one.

[@XLordLeamingtonX]

I can't believe there was no rust on this. Either they washed the undercarriage all the time or never drove it in winter!

[@NHCX]

my brother has the same car with the 304 as well!

[@willthetrill4849]

Baldland Northern mind making a video?

[@nonservitium]

So sick. I loved my 74

[@chrissnodgrass2705]

That’s the nice car I seen just like it just call AMX

[@jeddroston9690]

hornet sst has a 304 or 360 v8?? too bad it doesn't have BW 4 or tremec 5 speed OD manual.. engine turned dash accents are a nice touch...

[@frankbudzinski2931]

Very nice

[@francismortenson1955]

Change the gearing in the rear end you'll have yourself a rocket put a posi in it

[@74SD455TA]

Easier said than done, parts of the CORRECT variety are probably not available, only after market stuff where the rear end will make noise, just the way it is and because of that, it needs to be left alone.

[@97warlock]

Is this in sw florida?

[@sportsterray66]

What are you talking about an AMX, and AMX Hornet? They only made one AMX and it was the Hornet. The AMX name died with the Javelin in '74, it was brought back in '77 for the last year of the Hornet to compete with the other decal muscle cars of the time like the Mustang ll Cobra ll, Volare Road Runner, Aspen R/T, etc.

[@classic287]

The first AMX was a 1968 2 seater..and it was NOT a Hornet...

[@Bigdog302V8]

In the case of this 1977 Hornet ,it is a optional AMX trim line name for this car. The Real AMX was only made from 1968 to 1970 and was a High Performance 2 seater. AMX stands for American Motors Experimental. sadly this name became only a trim package later.

[@killermachine6859]

actually it is a Hornet/AMX, not AMX Hornet. the same with Javelin/AMX. it is not that confusing when worded correctly, for example, the never was an AMX Javelin.

[@69ssrszl1]

Drop in a 401!

[@Bigdog302V8]

I would love to do that myself and give it modern suspension and brakes for better Handling. whis would make a killer performance car with some love.

[@nellyfarnsworth7381]

If you need vintage Mercedes (no Rust) to ship to Europe. I have my father's Mercedes for SALE.

[@joeminoso1554]

[@rickycollins4633]

[@tomschweikert9537]

[@eugeniomanillapina5415]

Carro hermoso y música padrisima

[@97warlock]

Something about the MASSIVE protruding bumpers I dont like.

[@blueovalranch]

Not sure. Can't remember where this one went! It was in Oregon.

[@benedictvanderbyl3607]

[@derrickconnolly9164]

Rebel. Where's the rebel

[@classic287]

Very nice looking car. Why they called it AMX, is beyond me. Back then, auto makers gave cars names that didn’t fit them at all

[@thetreblerebel]

Well...isnt that just great for you

[@edolugo150267]
