fattyona12 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 A buddy wants rid of a car in his driveway that he got from family. He is wanting to sell it to me for cheap. Its a 1974 amc hornet wagon with a straight six. 74000 orig miles. Don't even know if its worth my time. Here's what it looks like, not actual car though. http://cascaderamblers.org/r2001/74horrw1.jpg What do you think???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 for $100 I say do it. build a sleeper out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Yeah for $100, buy it and drop in a bigger AMC motor and it would make a killer sleeper. But if it has the fake wood grain sides, you must leave it for the effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattyona12 Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 it doesn't have the woody sides....here is what it looks like. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x269/pwrlifter79/Fall2007074.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x269/pwrlifter79/Fall2007072.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x269/pwrlifter79/dep%20races/Fall2007076.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 What do you think???? I would have to punch you in the urethra. It could be a super-sleeper.. but for way more money than doing another fox in the long run. Yes, that would be just another Mustang... but it's a hole lot less gay than that abomination. Besides, then you could be mistakenly grouped in with the AMC Boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotarded1647545491 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 $100 would be ok to use it for a hauler/rolling dumpster/demolition derby car. The unfortunate thing about AMCs is that they rust badly. Even if you had a solid frame, I would bet that you could not remove half of the suspension or engine mounting bolts without cutting or shearing them off. They also do not make replacement or aftermarket parts for these cars so anything that you may need will have to be salvaged from an Arizona car.

Linn1647545492 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 100 bucks cheap If it runs, buy it. look at it this way, it's going to be $100 of fun. You can rally drive it through fields, shoot it with a shot gun, smash it into things and then drive it into a river or set it on fire.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 things you could do with $100: -Reinvest in our dead economy, do your part to bring back the dollar -get a good blowjob from a good hooker -get 10 bad blowjobs from 10 bad hookers -2 tanks of gas -a couple grams of cocaine (not that i know market price or anything.....) -turn it all into dimes and take a bath in it -give it to me so I can do any of the above -put it in the bank and earn interest -invest and earn shitloads or lose it all -roll a fat blunt with it, dip it in formaldehyde, smoke it, then hallucinate yourself into a world where you weren't dumb enough to consider investing in a cheap shitmobile like that which will only end up costing you more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farkas Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Reminds me of this bad boy: 1973 TOYOTA CORONA MK II Wagon http://www.euronationvw.com/images/EddieMKII/engineshot_eddie.jpg http://www.euronationvw.com/images/EddieMKII/jdmangle.jpg On airbags, 2J swapped and haggard as fuck.. but the oil cooler just doesn't fly on this whip. Overall I think it's hottttt, I'm all for the sleeper wagons like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see...its a 74 and does not look like its been taken very good care of and still looks repairable....your analysis is unfounded......My dad and uncle's have restored many old muscle cars and so have i, and they were not AMC's and they all rust the same, its how you take care of it........if these cars and others were undercoated properly when bought new, there would be a ton more old muscle cars around... Your right on having to find used parts or patch them if possible.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Who cares how it looks? To hell with restoring it. Buy it, put a big fucking engine in it, some nice sticky tires, and go out and blow the doors off rice with their great-grandmothers car.
