I'm sure the name for the Harley was a spelling mistake.
Originally it was (what a) Bummer  ;)

The Levi interior, on the other hand would be awesome.  I have yet to see one in good original condition yet, most of the ones I see that had the Levi's interior didn't have the original seats anymore, i'm guessing denim doesn't last 30 years in the hot interior of a car.

I did have a '77 Pacer with the Levi interior right down to the Levi tag sewn into a seam on the seat.  It was nor real denim but auto fabric that looked like denim.  As an added bonus there was a Levi emblem on the side of the car.

Hey Shane,

I actually know where one is - Just east of Red Deer (Alberta) at a AMCA member's place.  It's been sitting in a field up there.  it's a gremlin with Levi's interior.

Too bad huh?  He's got several dozen AMC's sitting out there, just rotting.

Yeah that kind of thing makes me not sleep well at night, knowing there's something so rare and wonderful just rotting away in fields all over the place.  But like it's already been said before, we can't save them all.  We could try but we'd all just end up penniless, with a yard full of broke down cars, and the neighbors calling the borough office daily to complain about our rusty lawn ornaments.
