Jacked up Gremlin?
Yes, that’s more or less what it is. Most people alive at any point in the 70s have vague recollections of the AMC Eagle brand – the one that existed before the Chrysler purchase of AMC and the ill-fated Eagle Medallion. The Eagle line was all about four-wheel-drive in passenger cars, with the station wagon…

Form the Alliance of your choice
Here we have two Renault Alliance convertibles posted within a couple days of each other. Each easily qualifies as an oddity – not only is each a Renault, but is also among the last and is convertible. As a bonus, there were both built in Wisconsin, from what we understand. Car #1 is a GTA…

This car was so good…
…that Suzuki stole its name years later. These Eagle SX4s are among the original crossovers, joined primarily by other, closely related AMC products, 4×4 Subaru wagons and the Brat. Is anyone dying to bring up the AWD Tempo and Topaz?! Anyway, these two gems are at auction at the same time. The stars must be…

AMC Squire?
We can’t say we’ve ever seen one of these in full, wood grained crappiness.

Gremlin roller
Have we reached a point where a rusting Gremlin rolling chassis has value? It’s hard to imagine one could ‘restore’ this and come out ahead, but who knows. Maybe hipsters have discovered AMC. This is a great quote: “I own a few and this is the least rusty of them all” Click for eBay ad…
