Make an even better Pure Stocker...avoid structural modifications needed for full Stocker or SSer..and still keep it for a Mercum ransom !!

Sometimes you get lucky previous owner knows very little about AMXs paid 1,800. for car and 2,150 for shipping to Texas.

Congratulations and welcome to the AMC world. Just remember as you get the car running, it’s only money.
