In my driving years I have owned a few cars, many of them being AMCs. This section of these homepages are made to give a small idea of the work involved with old cars in general. Nothing really useful can be found here, but if you're curious and have some time to kill, check out the links. / A-V Nauha (AMCCF President/Webmaster).
