Hornet X Sportabout station wagon... I don't think I ever heard of one before

Looks like a precursor to the AMC Eagle 4 wheel drive station wagon

I like seeing a tool box in an old car, it preserves my concept that the old car owner is a car guy with repair skills he'll use on a roadside. Those are great people. Capable, handy, ready to problem solve.

I just learned there is a Pierre Cardin AMX registry website

After I posted this 401 AMX  in a gallery http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/09/pierre-cardin-edition-of-401-amx-just.html , Ryan left a comment (Don't do that unless you add your email for Pete's sake, if you ask a question, I can't answer it without your email) and let me know about a Pierre Cardin AMX Registry http://cardinjavelin.com/gallery.html

Further, the webmaster added the info about the AMC time in Costa Rica ... with a website, http://amc.co.cr/   (and it has a fantastic complete list of AMC prototypes) and who knew that AMC and Toyota... under the same franchisee, the same distributors, they shared the same assembly plant.

 This began under the company H.T. Purdy, which soon became Purdy Motors, which still represents Toyota, and is probably the largest dealer in the country today.

76 Pacer, in Germany, rescued from a backyard and going to get a 401

air shocks and shackles for now to get it on the road, and a 401 next winter to rasie hell with. That will be one amazing ride! Thanks Pascal!

Unusual option, a sleeper trunk.. I found a 68 Bonneville, and Dan at Hemmings came across a AMC Hornet
