    Solid looking car. I do have to wonder, though, about the doors on the driver's side. Was the car t-boned? Why are those two doors repainted in what seems to be the original colour? It shows how faded the rest of the car really is, though. I have to wonder about the state of the unibody, and the A, B, and C pillars in particular. Otherwise, looks like a good solid driver.

    Never really been a big fan of yellow, but this coffin nose I really like.

    These early and mid 70's AMC wagons were really nicely styled (with the exception of that coffin nose - whose idea was that? Totally unnecessary.).

    This one though, could really use a repaint. And i agree on that left side. May not have been a bit hit, but something happened to it.......
