AMC Hornet 304 CI 1977

Allmän beskrivning : RARE HORNET AMX, ORIGINAL COLORS, 304 V8, PS, PB W/FRNT DISCS, DOCUMENTATION!!

AMC has always offered distinctive cars with lower production figures than The Big Three. That's what makes this 1977 AMC Hornet AMX is so intriguing. A rare car from an already lower volume manufacturer that's been so well restored and preserved is absolutely worth plenty of attention... and that's even before you sampled its V8 power.
1977 was the last year for the Hornet and the first year for the AMX package, so this is a one-year only vehicle. In fact, these were such a specialty machine, they were finished at a specialty shop instead of the standard Kenosha production line. So having it in Firecracker Red is a great way to draw attention to this unique AMX. It's a quality respray of the factory-correct color that has the right amount of shine to highlight all the lines of this curvy hatchback. Plus, we love the way the bold red covers the bumpers, body kit, and rear window slats to give these classic lines a modern feeling. And the blacked-out grille, black rear panel, black trim, and correct side decals give this a mean appearance that's worthy of the legendary AMX name.
Inside is a factory-correct black interior that has all the right elements you'd expect from a classic performance machine. Bucket seats and a center console make it instantly inviting. And when you grab the correct AMC three-spoke sports steering wheel, you get a commanding view of the full gauge pack that includes a large tach. It's all set in a machined aluminum panel that's truly muscle car cool. Just ahead of the floor shift is an auxiliary gauge package, which is another great upgrade for these Hornet AMX cars. And as you look over the total package, you start to realize that everything is amazingly well preserved, right down to features like the cruise control and AM radio.
AMC's 304 cubic-inch V8 is always was great to see under the hood, especially when it's original to the car like this one. In fact, that gives this one true rarity, with only around 2,000 (or less) Hornet AMXs ever equipped with the optional V8. Because this is special, there has been great care with the motor. It has a newer radiator, freeze plugs, starter, alternator, belts, hoses, and all the other right maintenance you'd do yourself, too. But more than just good care, it has also been upgraded for extra power with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. That means more performance on the streets and an extra hint of growl from the dual exhaust. Plus, these AMX specialty vehicles were given an upgraded handling package. Add in the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes, and you'll love cruising this AMC everywhere.
Complete with all the right documents, including the factory buildsheet, multiple owner's manuals, and maintenance records, you're looking at a well presented and cherished classic that will be unique in any crowd. So when a turn-key package like this is also so affordable, you know you need to hurry up if you want to take it home. Call today!!!

om AMC Hornet
AMC Hornet är en kompakt bil tillverkad av American Motors Corporation (AMC) från 1970 till 1977. Här är vad du bör veta om AMC Hornet:

1. Introduktion och utveckling: AMC Hornet introducerades som en efterträdare till AMC Rambler. Den designades för att konkurrera med andra kompakta bilar från eran, som Ford Maverick och Chevrolet Nova.

2. Karossstilar och varianter: Hornet var tillgänglig i olika karossstilar, inklusive en tvådörrars coupé, fyradörrars sedan och femdörrarsvagn. Den erbjöds också i olika utrustningsnivåer, såsom bas, SST och Sportabout.

3. Design och styling: Hornet hade en ren och modern design med raka linjer och en relativt boxig form. Den hade en rymlig interiör med bekväma sittplatser och en funktionell instrumentpanelslayout.

4. Motoralternativ: Hornet erbjöd en rad motoralternativ för att passa olika preferenser och prestandabehov. Dessa inkluderade inline-fyra, inline-sex och V8-motorer. Motorstorlekarna varierade från 2,0 liter till 5,0 liter, beroende på årsmodell och trimnivå.

5. Prestandamodeller: AMC introducerade prestandaorienterade versioner av Hornet, som Hornet SC/360 och Hornet AMX. Dessa modeller hade sportigare stil, uppgraderad fjädring och kraftfullare motorer.

6. Racing och motorsport: AMC Hornet hade en närvaro inom motorsport, särskilt i NASCAR-racing. Hornet tävlade i NASCAR Grand National Series och nådde några anmärkningsvärda framgångar på banan.

7. Arv och effekt: AMC Hornet spelade en roll i AMC:s ansträngningar att konkurrera i kompaktbilssegmentet. Även om den kanske inte har nått samma nivå av kommersiell framgång som vissa av sina konkurrenter, har Hornet fortfarande en plats i bilhistorien och är fortfarande uppskattad av AMC-entusiaster.

8. Popkulturreferenser: The Hornet fick ett visst popkulturerkännande genom sitt framträdande i filmer och tv-program. Den var känd som grunden för "Green Hornet"-bilen i 1966 års TV-serie.

AMC Hornet representerade AMC:s inträde på den konkurrensutsatta kompaktbilsmarknaden. Dess design, utbud av motoralternativ och deltagande i motorsport gör den till en spännande del av bilhistorien. Även om den inte är lika allmänt erkänd som vissa andra klassiska bilar, har Hornet fortfarande betydelse för AMC-entusiaster och de som är intresserade av kompaktbilssegmentet på 1970-talet.
