Not much of an update.
But a couple of pictures from running errands with the car late last week. It’s a bunch of fun. Ran into a problem on Saturday where the car got slower and slower. After some roadside repairs I nursed it home with the throttle pedal hanging off the firewall because the wood screws installed 50ish years ago to hold it pulled out of the sheet metal.

Spent some time yesterday bolting the pedal back in and fixing the firewall a bit while Marty played with the steering wheel and jumped on the drivers seat.

If anyone is around the Morgantown Automall in PA is hosting an AMC car show Saturday. I’ll be there with the Hornet and Marty will be bringing his pedal tractor.

Thanks for reading

Small update.

This car rules. I’ve driven the thing a ton the last couple of weeks. Life is too short to drive boring shit and worry constantly about things like fuel mileage. Get out there and use what you have. It did leave me stranded today when the brand new throttle cable came apart. It was a couple months old. A standard replacement from Crown. It sucked when I installed it, and it sucked until it came apart today. I got the car home, and took a ride to a friends where I liberated a factory 56 year old 1969 American 6 cylinder cable off a car.

That 56 year old cable functions like it was built yesterday. Modern parts are crap. Chinese parts are crap. I weep that we gave up our manufacturing might to buy bullshit parts shipped from overseas communist shitholes under the false idea it was better for our nation to become consumerist to a fault and just throw things away to buy new cheap thing from China.

America rules. American cars rule. American parts rule.

Car is on the trailer to go to a small show tomorrow in Morgantown PA. I’d drive it but my wife and son want to go and I can’t do that to them lol. If anyone wants to go I’d be great if you came up and introduced yourself. Otherwise it will get driven most everywhere this summer.

Picture from the Saturday show. And another picture of Marty hanging out in what is quickly becoming his car. He gets mad when the steering wheel is locked so I have to unlock it so he can sit in the drivers seat and move the wheel back and forth. Still driving this thing. Though the weather in the NJ area is preventing me from driving it more. I drove it in the rain a couple times and it’s not bad but I need to rain x the windshield. I also did the Carlisle Chrysler registration so it’ll be there in July.

Love those cars! Great story, loved the read, You never see parts for AMC, parts just gotta be a biotch to find. I think I finally saw one Sunday at the swap
