AMC : Hornet

Super amazing condition for a 40+ year old car. I'm the second owner purchased the car from the original owners' estate.

Much work has been done. such as an engine overhaul and complete rebuild of the brake and cooling systems. The engine had wiped a cam lobe. So. a new cam was installed along with lifters and upgraded to steel bridges and rockers. All bearings. oil pump and rings were also replaced. as well as all gaskets. The cylinders received a light hone and the original pistons reused. Engine has excellent compression and brilliant oil pressure.

The brake system was completely gone through though there is a scraping noise that recently started coming from the front left drum upon medium to heavy brake application.

A V 8 sway bar was added. along with the sport steering wheel and magnum 500 s.

I've had the car for 6 years and just don't have the time or money to see her through all the way. Plus. I'm trying to get a sizable down-payment for a new Mustang.
