6-Wheel Jeep CJ
Jeep made and sold a CJ6, but this isn’t it. The CJ6 was a long-wheelbase CJ, offered with two or four doors. Today’s feature is a CJ8 with six wheels and the option of two-, four- or six-wheel drive!

Dream Wagon? 1981 AMC Eagle with Ford 302 and Five-Speed
We don’t think it gets much cooler than this build. Sure, this wagon gave up is all-wheel drive; but it gained a lot in performance and looks.

Clapped Out Renault Alliance Convertible
We’re not sure what happened here, but we’re glad this didn’t start life as the relatively desirable GTA version of this car. What we have here is a basic four cylinder, automatic Alliance painted in some sort of bass boat paint and equipped with a cheesy hood and a “racing edition” badge. Ugh. The seller…

FrankenPacer! AMC Pacer 4×4
What do you get when you combine a 1976 Pacer with GM axles, an AMC V8 and International Scout transmission and transfer case? Well, this… Okay, it’s possible the V8 is original, but the rest is an interesting combination of parts and it results in a pretty amazing ride height. Hopefully, this actually offers some…

AMC Concord Pro Street Surf Wagon
Woodgrain, surfboard, tubbed rear and small-block Chevy. A winning combo? We like wagons because of their do-everything nature. Usually, that means they drive like a car and haul like an SUV. Today’s feature car is perhaps less versatile, but still has a split personality. It looks like a utilitarian, early 80s woodgrain wagon and has…

NOT a Gremlin: AMC Eagle Kammback
These don’t come up often, and they always tempt us when they do. From a distance, one might think this is a Gremlin; but it’s actually an Eagle Kammback. Given the Eagle name, one expects four-wheel-drive and one will not be disappointed! As an added bonus, this one features a clutch pedal. The seller claims…

Is Barcelona known for Velveteen Crush?
AMC had a great many special editions, some with ties to 70s designers; but this Barcelona Edition may take the cake – at least in terms of brownness. And, really, shouldn’t we always measure that way? This example appears to be in amazingly original shape. It’s not perfect, but it’s damn close, considering nearly 40…

WTF Jeep
Did you ever look at a Jeep CJ and wonder what it would be like if you deleted its ability to go over speed bumps, not to mention going off-road? Well, here’s your answer. The seller calls it the Testabassa SR. The work here seems to be well done, but we question the project’s intent.…

What’s Better than an AWD, Manual Wagon?
How about one modified to be a pseudo-Subaru Baja? This was once an AMC Eagle wagon; but someone took an angle grinder to it and added too much diamond plate. The end result is a not-so-weatherproof mini trucklet with a carpeted bed. Wasn’t that one of the downfalls of the Lincoln Blackwood? Fittingly bidding sits…

1975 Jeep Airport Tug with Thing
No, this doesn’t come with a Volkswagen Thing, it comes with Thing from Fantastic Four. We have no idea why. This is a CJ-5 that was modified to tow aircraft. Why not? Now that it’s duties are over, it’s just a really odd, narrow Jeep for the street or trail. What’s not to love? Click…
