Title: An Eagle and a Hornet
Post by: rohnk on June 10, 2011, 12:54:30 PM
Not the start to a bad joke!

The Eagle is one that is sitting behind a transmission shop and has been there for a long time now. I had some work done on my Eagle when I first got it and the shop owner told me it was a friend of his. They work on it from time to time I guess. When I get some money around, I might have to make on offer!

The Hornet I saw at an auto service station. It is really nicely done! A show car for sure. I had to stop and get a picture of it at least.

I totally thought you were going to say "An Eagle and a Hornet walk into a bar..."  ::)

I have GOT to add a Hornet hatchback to my fleet someday.  The lines on those cars are just perfect.  I know I've said this before, but it's a shame that AMC axed the Concord hatchback after 1979.  I wish they had carried it forward into 1980 and made an Eagle version of it.

Agreed!  That would've looked absolutely amazing!

That would be cool.  That Hornet is in really nice shape.  So is that Eagle.  Thx for posting those.

Ill bet a wagon and 2 door coupe would look cool too. The hard part is finding that front wrap around spoiler..and the grill
