this is amazing and anyone who doesn't believe in the zombieapocalypse can gently caress right off.

The chintzy early '90s plastic and fiberglass that a 9400i is mostly comprised of would not withstand much post-apocalyptic duty. Or hell, a whole lot of occasional camping duty. Also when a highway truck goes into RV duty it means it's too hosed to be profitable as a truck.

For what that is, it's in amazing shape. I don't think you'd be able to find the parts to fix the AC though.

Edit: Also, it's a pretty well done ad. Has pics of all sides, front and back seats, odometer and passenger dash.

I mean I'd stay the heck away unless it's close enough to not lose time in taking a look at it. Wrong pictures and wrong info from the seller? Doesn't that mean that nothing but the interior color can be verified as true?

It's a mid-80s Jeep with an AMC Hornet (or in rare cases, a Gremlin) stuck on top. It will have a lovely electro-carb that likes to get it's venturi clogged and chances are if it's never been cleared the idle screw will be turned way rich to make up for the stumbling.
Usually they have 258 i6s which is the father of the 4.0 that everyone loves.
In short they are fine automobiles and the loving king of winter driving. I adored mine when it carried me through a winter in Madison.

Amazing thing is we look at some of these cars like the Eagle and think what the hell...but back then when you were a kid you were like "holy poo poo, this is a 4x4 and can go anywhere."

Suburu Brat also comes to mind.

Yeah that's a great point. As an old person I can confirm that these things seemed real cool to little me even though they looked like family cars.

Sort of. They were Spirits, but (in the case of the kammback) with the Gremlin rear end on them. Front clip and side windows don't match the Gremlin.

Yeah but it's not as cool to go 'ok so AMC didn't have any real money since the 60s so that's their major designs they used up into the 80s with minor tweaks' :v:


EDIT
Once upon a time I lived in Wisconsin and owned two AMCs at the same time. Kenosha's finest.






I'd love an Eagle again but now that I live in Florida where I escaped winters like that I have no need. Wish I still had the Hornet but it was good I sold it when I did.

DOUBLE EDIT

They usually have a little sliding window that lines up with the sliding window inside the cab. Some of the higher end ones you pull the whole back window of the cab and it sorta connects and gives you water ingress issues.

My wife and I actually own one of these. Her grandpa passed away and left it to us, along with an 89 Westy. The morning after it showed up in our driveway, I woke up in a tux and some guy named Enrique brought me breakfast. The brakes are weird as hell and barely exist, but it has fold down tables in the back for champagne, so who needs brakes.

that's a coupe, does it have those (ridiculously awesome) bootrests for the backseat passengers?

also : how many ashtrays in total? I'm guessing at least six.
