Before we begin, I would like to acknowledge that I am aware that in Wayne's World, Garth drove a Pacer hatchback. Having said that, this AMC Pacer DL wagon definitely looks like something Garth and Wayne would cruise around in. A 1978 model, this DL wagon is a factory V8-equipped model and comes with a rare Carl Green fiberglass wide body kit. Find it here on eBay in Thurman, Ohio, with a little over nine and half hours left to bid. Initially available as a two-door hatchback, a two-door station wagon was added to the Pacer lineup for 1977. Measuring six inches longer and weighing 76 pounds more than the coupe, the Pacer wagon featured a squared-off back and almost upright side windows. This Pacer wagon is a 1978 DL model, and is one of 13,820 station wagons built for 1978. Painted silver, there is a bit of rust on the inside of the driver's door and on the firewall, and the windshield is cracked, but the seller men...

Are there any car enthusiasts and collectors out there that remember AMC? AMC has always seemed to be overshadowed by Detroit's Big Three (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler), but for a brief period of time, AMC decided to drop its economy-car roots and step up against the Big Three with a succession of sporty, high-performance models. Two of those models were the Javelin and AMX, which were conceived to compete against the Big Three's pony cars. This car is a 1973 AMC Javelin AMX, which features the Go-Package and is an unrestored survivor. Find it here on eBay in Beecher, Illinois, with reserve not met and a Buy-It-Now price of $18,000.  After being its own distinctive model from 1968 to 1970, the two-seat AMX was discontinued and shuffled to the Javelin lineup, where it became the top high-performance option on the Javelin for 1971. This Javelin AMX is a 1973 model, and is one of 5,707 AMXs built for 1973. Painted ...

I'll admit it: if there is one car I'm going to buy when I have the financial wherewithal, it is going to be an AMC Gremlin. The AMC Gremlin, especially in its earliest years, has always had a wonderfully unique and muscular look, and respected automotive figures (such as David Freiburger) have owned and built them up to their specifications. My dad has even told me about building up a Gremmie with a 440 swap back in the day. This 1973 Gremlin also features a big-block, but in this case it's a 454 big-block Chevrolet! Find it here on Hemmings in Milford, Ohio, with an asking price of $19,250. Introduced in 1970, the AMC Gremlin is heralded as the first subcompact car built and sold in the United States' domestic automotive market. The Gremlin came about for two reasons: the AMX-GT concept from April 1968, and the recent flood of Japanese imports that had reached US shores. Based off of the new-for-1970 compa...
