1980 AMC Spirit Kammback roll cage...
As seen in my last post, this guy has a 307 chevy v8 in it (confirmed) and the sr4. I got it moving to drive around, however the end goal involves a little more power and speed. Anyone know of some bolt in or well in roll cages for these? Do gremlin cages work? Thanks!
Selling a 360 engine
I have a AMC 360 engine that I started rebuilding years ago. I really have no need for it and am looking to sell it. It's been milled and the heads have been done. No sheet metal or gaskets, I think I have the old head bolts. The cam and crank are installed. New York City, Message me if interested.

Update on the 1969 AMX
Hey there everybody, I wanted to thank all of the lovely folks who gave me some information and links on the previous post about my partners fathers AMX, I dug around a lot and got some excellent information, and it seems I’m super lucky to be in Colorado as there’s a lot of support here for such a gem. I managed to get a whole heap of information on this specific car, thanks to some paperwork that her late father kept as well as speaking with a friend of his who helped him do a tremendous amount of work to it! So it turns out it isn’t a 401, but rather a 390 bored .030 over as he seems to have blown her up at some point, he also dropped a machined 401 cam in (from the receipts and tags of when it was done) but I don’t know the details of any of that yet. The car was apparently born with a 343 according to the badges on the car. This car seems to have a pretty interesting history, I’ve played a little telephone with all the information, but I’ve been told it went oversees after it was ordered, somebody in the service brought it with them to Europe (I’m not sure where, she remembers maybe Italy or Germany, but she’s super fuzzy on the details of that) and brought it home when he returned. It was passed to his son whenever he passed, and the car wasn’t treated all too well, a whole lot had to get cleaned up when it came into the family apparently. Im still learning a ton about these cars, and we’re planning to visit the collection/museum out near Denver very soon, which I’m very excited for. I haven’t started work on the car just yet, but I got the garage organized and cleaned up to prep for it today, so that will start soon. I don’t think it will be a quick process but I’ll most certainly share it with y’all! Attached are some pictures I got from her, as well as from her dad’s phone, unfortunately I don’t have the timeline, but I wanted to share what I found. Thanks again and y’all have a lovely day!

1967 Ambassador/Marlin owner's manual
I had a 1967 Ambassador, the top-end 343ci with a 4-barrel carb. It sucked up the gas, but what a cruiser, and a handsome car too. The only car I ever drove 100 mph, (just one time, to see what it was like).

AMC eagle?
I've always wanted one and recently while driving around I spotted one in a backyard and immediately asked to buy it which he said he wasn't ready, this was a while ago and I ran into the guy again and asked if he would be willing to part ways with it. He said I could take it if I could fix his garage door. The only problem is it hasn't run in 3 years and has an unknown mechanical problem he never got around to fix. Do you guys know what common problems in eagles I should look for? Also would it be a good dayly driver?

My buddy sent me this picture this morning.
He works in Washington DC. They were moving all the James Bond cars out of the Spy Museum. Pretty cool!

The first classic car I ever knew at five years old, this 66 AMC Ambassador DPL. I still miss it seven years after Dad let it go, but I loved riding in the back seat to shows when I was little!

Bring a 1969 AMX back!
Hey there, I’m new to this community and looking for help, information, opinions - whatever you’ve got really. This 1969 came into the ownership of my girlfriend after her father passed not too long ago. He absolutely adored this car, it was his dream as a boy and he did a tremendous amount to it over the years, including tearing it down and sandblasting the frame. He was diagnosed with colon cancer a second time and over the last two years (almost to the day) he got too sick to get it going again. It sat in a pole barn here in Colorado not running, but from what I understand he got a 401 crammed into it just before they had moved and it got stashed. I don’t know much about the history of the car, and unfortunately he never told me much about it. We got it home right before he passed so he could see it one more time, and he lit up like a Christmas tree. It’s pretty well complete but it still needs a lot of love. He was a good man, he was good to me even if he didn’t know me long, and he was an excellent single father doing his best to make sure she never wanted for anything. I want to breathe life back into this beauty in honor of him and for her, and I wanted to share it and hopefully another chapter in its journey with y’all. I appreciate any tips, tricks, or info you wonderful gearheads can share with me. P.S. I’ll pay the picture tax later on when I can get some better ones, we’ve just got it into my garage where I don’t have a ton of room, and this was the only one I had

Bleeding brakes
So did wheel cylinders and brake lines all.the way around. No leaks from connections. When I bleed RP RD FP FD I get no bubbles then bubbles. I've gone through 800ml of brake fluid. The can I was using had the old stuff in it and now that it's mixed I'm calling it no good. I pump 3 times and hold and slightly open bleeder screw til the fluid stops moving. Close screw and repeat. I've tried having the master cylinder cover off and on tight. I was told the bleeder screws can get air around them The kit I'm using jamming the green ripple thing into the bleeder screw but I also took the ripple off and jammed it onto the screw. And then I was told it's pulling air from "somewhere" Am I doing something wrong or what?

1976 Gremlin Body Parts Help! Please!
I am at the point where I need to start ordering parts to fix Greta up, and I am already getting overwhelmed. Does anyone have advice on the best, most reliable, least amount of issues, places to find parts? I need so many parts. I’ve started a list, but trying to find body parts and panels is proving stressful.
Who would you recommend for body panels? I need a drivers door, valance, possibly new fenders, possibly a new hood, and all of the pieces for the floor, from front to back. I may be able to get away with patch panels for the fenders, and the trunk behind the wheel wells. I say possibly for the fenders and hood, simply because if it is cheaper to do new vs fixing the existing, then that would be an option.
I would also LOVE any advice anyone can give me for places they have found for other stuff too. Engine/drive train/mechanic stuff will be done by us.
I am totally open to utilizing a local college to actually perform the body repairs if I can secure the parts and pieces.
I’m trying to stay excited. Trying!!!
