The VAM Lerma cars are highly interesting to us AMC guys in the States. Very few pictures of them are available online. If anyone in Mexico sees one for sale or at a show please post pictures of them here in this thread.

Is there a Mexican equivalent to ebay for selling them online? That would be a great way to get pictures. People post the most information when they have something for sale.

How hard is it to buy one from Mexico and import it?

If a Mexican collector is interested in owning an AMC Eagle, I'd drive down in one to be able to drive home in a decent Lerma.

Those are very cool looking cars.  It looks like they took a Spirit hatchback and added about 18" between the front door and the rear hatch.

Never seen one of those before now. Interesting in a strange sense although. I think I kinda like it but would really like to see one up close and personal.

Does the front look like a concord or a hornet?

It would have probably cut into Sportabout sales which, by that time, had been amortized to be a cheap car to frame and build.
