    |Nice car! There was one of these Concord coupes in the local U-pull about 10 years ago. It was an '81 Limited coupe, and boy was it loaded. Two tone brown, wires, AC, PW, tilt, the whole shebang, but a 6 banger. I was thinking this is kind of AMC's answer to the Thunderbird - and comparing it to an 81 T-Bird at the time, if it wasn't a Heritage T-Bird, the comparison wasn't too far off. One of my good buddies in PA - his dad had an '81 T-bird base model, and it was basically a Futura with hidden headlights. Heck, I think in 81 or 82(or both), the T-Birds had a 6 as standard, though I've only ever seen one equipped like that.

    I know the 200 CID could be had with a T-bird at that time, but all the ones I've seen had a 255 or 302 V8.

    Special place for these. Below looks like my 1st car out of college. Leaking power steering, nothing special to remember.
