1982 AMC Other

Going to try this one more time - 1982 AMC Concord Pro Street/Surf Wagon. I'm calling it a project car that is nearly completed. just needing your finishing touches. This is an original paint wagon that a  previous owner had professionally back-halved and caged to drag race. It was raced in the 90's and up until about 3-4 years ago in the Midwest.  A lot of the drag racing components are still on the car. I can't take the credit or blame for anything in the drivetrain or chassis. other than the  new center section built for the Ford 9". I bought it approximately 80% complete with the intention of making it fully street legal. it's probably 95% complete now. I drove it daily when the weather is good. it's garaged and hasn't seen rain since I've owned it. I recently took the plates off it and have it stored in the garage.   My loss is your gain. here are the details:

Body:

All original steel except lift off race weight cowl hood. wrapped in woodgrain to match the side panels. Hood is held on with Dzus fasteners.

Paint is original AMC Topaz Gold Metallic. I'd rate it a 7 out of 10. it's still waxable. but has some chips. small dings. etc.

All trim is installed on car

All glass is good. side windows all roll up and down

Lights. turn signals. dash lights all work

Rear back half is done nicely with a complete subframe kit from Competition Engineering or equivalent. ladder bar. coilovers. panhard bar. etc. Large fuel cell under rear floor accessed through panel in rear.

Factory roof rack. and 2 decent surfboards complete the appearance

Lettering is all vinyl and can be removed if the advertising isn't your thing

Interior:

Nice 8 point roll bar with tip out bars

Original door panels. headliner. dash pad. etc.

Seats are great. no rips or tears.

Good  carpet. door sill plates. etc.

Retains most of factory wiring. key warning buzzer and dome light still work

Cheetah SCS shifter

Drivetrain:

Starting in the front. there is a custom built PermaCool Radiator and Optima battery. Starts great. never overheats. runs at 185 degrees in traffic on a hot day.

Motor - I was told it's a 350 Chevy.  I never bothered to check. it runs great.  has some drips. has the usual bolt-ons.  Edelbrock intake. headers. and cam. Flowmasters. Still has the orginal Quadrajet that works perfectly. The air cleaner lid and valve covers have been hydrodipped to match rest of  woodgrain theme.

Turbo 350 with shift kit. works great

Rear end is a narrowed 9” Ford posi. ladder bar. coilovers. shortened 31 spline  axles and new 4. 11 Richmond gears. nbsp;new Yukon Grizzly TracLok differential. bearings. seals. etc.

Electric Fuel  pump

Miscellaneous:

Matching  Weld Wheels: 15 x 4 with Goodyear Frontrunners. 15 x 15 and 15. 5/29 Mickeys

Manual  steering box. Manual front disc. drum brakes with new hardware in rear

Competition Engineering adjustable drag shocks in front

Clear title in my name.

Still Needs:

Needs a horn and wipers to pass NYS inspection. I did install an e-brake setup using Ford and aftermarket cables. I have a horn kit to install.  Everything is there for the wipers. probably just needs power to dash switch.

Street legal front tires 

While the roll cage is nice. the side bars may need a re-design to pass tech if you plan on putting it on the track

5 point harness is out of date

 The usual odds and ends to complete to your satisfaction
