The Sonic Turbo mufflers are an EBay catch that fit the time period, and the gauges are older Sun Green Lines I had rebuilt and laying around. They fit the swap meet find idea, and they’re all going to get mounted to the column. The valve covers aren’t era correct, and I’d like to find an old set of Edelbrock or Offenhouser finned covers, but the placeholders look good right now.

What a great find!!

Wow this is moving quickly!!!

How long have you had the car?

Those are neat cars. Have fun with your build and I look forward to seeing it at MCACN.

Kudos to you for saving it.

Thank you for sharing the journey! Great backstory and I dig your plans for the build. Looking forward to following along :beers:

Bought it in September of 2023. I’d like to have it running and driving by sometime in June.

Great progress. Can’t wait to hear it run!

Can post an update here today.
Spent some time cleaning up. I had thrown everything inside the car last winter because I’m low on storage space. I got the interior all emptied out and I’ll include a picture of the rear floor pans. I installed the Z bar linkage for the clutch but the factory calls for a spring to pull it into the strut rod bracket, or I need to figure out some type of clip to hold it all pulled into the bracket since there’s a cutout in the end for some type of clip.

I also got most of the front of the engine buttoned up. The rad hoses are run, I scored an original OEM upper rad hose in a parts lot I bought a few weeks ago so it’ll pretty excited to have the AMC logo front and center on the hose. The power steering hoses are all run, just need a clamp for up at the return. Also the alternator is all done minus one bolt that I need to cut down because it’s too long for the boss in the head.


Also got the steering wheel mounted. Excited for it to be nice out so I can push the car outside and put the interior back together. Unfortunately the car was missing the original seats, and the 73ish AMX seats that were in it were junk. However I scored a set of hideous green 71-2 AMX seats that are in decent shape and will go well with how ugly the car is.
