This listing is for a 1973 AMC hornet two-door coupe. This car has the 258 in-line six cylinder engine and three speed automatic Chrysler 904 transmission car also has power steering power disc brakes, tilt cruise control, air conditioning power door locks, and is generally loaded for a 1973 AMC hornet. The vehicle was fixed up/restored Around 2007 by a gentleman in Georgia. It has been in storage in Elizabeth Colorado since then. Since I’ve had the car, I have rebuilt carburetor but new lugs on all four wheels and have replace the valve cover gasket. I like the car it’s just not for me and we have some expenses coming up and I’d like to be able to take care of those. Car runs drives stops very well. Goes down the highway very nicely. Will need air conditioning recharged. And the power steering does leak. A very nice little car. I wish that we could hold onto it.  car does have a little bit of light hail on hood, but should be able to be PDR’d pretty easily.New tires.
Several options added.
Zero rust

Ahh, the AMC Mustang II.
I see your Mustang II and raise you a Maverick.
Tilt wheel, cruise AND optional gauges? That is a sweet ride!
I damn it with faint praise as a Mustang II – this is a sharp looking car – somewhat let down by the crushed blue velour interior.
