This is my “new” JDM Toyota Land Cruiser

Would you like to sport about in this 1975 AMC Hornet?

It’s no Gucci Sportabout, but this 1975 AMC Hornet looks like it would be fun to try and save. Especially since it’s ripe for some manner of engine swap that brings power and fun way up. At one point, AMC was popping the 360 V8 in the Hornet, but that’s not what this particular machine…
