I like and build just about anything. Buicks and Thunderbirds are my favorite, but I've build several AMCs over the years. My AMT '75 Matador is one of my favorites. I have a JoHan SC/Rambler waiting to be built. Bought aftermarket decals to avoid using the originals that don't look too be in too good of shape.

There is nothing wrong with AMCs, other than there is not enough of them out there.

I haven't seen this thread in a while. I cleaned up and rebuilt a lightly glue-bombed '67 Ambassador,

 

and I have a '66 American Hardtop that I am working on to go with my convertible.

Working on that same kit myself.:D What color is that? That looks awesome.

It's Duplicolor BNS0503 Orange Mist Met (metallic?)  (014). It's a very close match to the copper color on the box illustration.

I don't usually paint the model the same color as the box art but that copper color is just perfect for 1977.

You ought to post a picture of yours, I'd like to see it.

I did a 1970 Penske Trans Am Javelin.  One of the best results I ever had.

As a kid I had the Penske racing team set (Chevy van,trailer and that car)...loved those triple kits specially the (Modified Ford team set from the 70s  70s Ford pickup,trailer and early modified dirt car).  I have a few AMCs I am hoping to restore...

Since this thread started a few years back, I finished a 69 Javelin SST. I have almost completed a 70 Javelin Mark Donahue special. Plus I stared a pair of AMXs (69 and 70).

I would love to see more!

I did a little "photoshop modeling" the other day to try out an idea. This started out as a couple photos of a stock '77 Matador on an eBay listing; the result I like to call tongue-in-cheek "the Bertone Matador":

Just might build this someday.

I have the 1/20 AMX to build and a Rebel Machine. This is my 71 Hornet SC360, Missing Link resin and 69 Rambler donor used.

Hi, I am new to all of this Internet and forums stuff but have been a modeler for years and love all things AMC. Thanks for this opportunity to chat! Here is an rmr Hornet wagon I built. Not the best picture, I know...but I'm a modeler, not a photographer ☺maybe someone can offer photo advice?

It's a one-piece body with the hood molded in, plus a separate hood (if you want to open it up, I guess), interior tub, dash, grille, taillight panel, red taillights, a one-piece/promo-style chassis, and a clear sheet with window template. It's a pretty complete kit. I added a steering wheel, wheels and tires. I bought 2 of the kits and am, currently, working on converting the other to a 70-72 using the nose from a Johan promo.
