James Bond .. Man with the Golden gun. Famous corkscrew jump.

Every AMC deserves another chance! Applause and support from Argentina 👍

I had the 72 Amc Geremlin X with the 304 3 speed manual. This car was very fast since it was very light. Loved that car I won many street races with it here in Chicago.

The quality of those Rambler American cars is incredible. Even so many years parked, the car is able to run again!

Hornets are why I got into amc. This is a great find.

I am a lover of all AMC, any Pentastar brand, and Jeep/Eagle. That Hornet deserves at least to be a runner. That would be a super project car.

Went to school with a girl who had a LEVIS edition Hornet. Neat little ride.

I love the AMC's.That that 304 was a good engine.

Back in college I had an orange 74 Hornet hatchback with the 258 six. What a great car! I think AMC's are under-rated. They were simple cars, easy to work on, and as you pointed out, mechanical parts were sourced from other manufacturers. AMC body and interior parts are unfortunately harder to come by than say a Mustang nowadays. Love seeing an AMC come back to life!

These guys are incredible. I wouldn't even know where to start.

Good job, AMC'S are starting to get a following I'm sure someone will buy it.

The Green Hornet Rules’A nice sporting car back in the day! Fun Video,Your Oregon Friend ☮️

Someone needs to restore this car, and please keep it original. We need to save them for future generations to see. Please do not trash it.

Love the Hornet Fastbacks! And an X with the 304? Super sweet! The extra parts are easy to explain....AMC guys like me will collect and hoard all the old AMC parts we can, since they are so hard to find, especially interior parts, lenses, glass, etc. I have 3 1974-1975 AMC Matador Coupes. Not many of those left in the world! Nice find on the Hornet X! Oh, and the clusters/instrument panels....the one mounted to the car has the optional clock, the one on the floor does not. The ignition switch with the keys is an aftermarket one, as the original ignition is on the column. I believe these used GM columns, like my Matador Coupes.

This is hilarious, Richard, the Jedi Mechanic and Billy Bob the red neck who drives every vehicle like he’s in NASCAR. The lovely Christina on the camera. Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas 🎄. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.👍🇨🇦

Back in the 1980s I had a 71 Horrnet wagon had a lot of fun with it......

My mom had a 73 coupe with trunk, and my dad had a 74 sportabout wagon. My uncle had a 75 4 door. All were six cyl automatic and copper color with houndstooth black n white cloth seats and copper vinyl trim. We had an amc dealer in town, herbert e. Wood and sons right by our house, so my family tended to buy there. I worked on many amc cars at vocational school, and the teachers called them " almost a car", because they used lots of various ford, chrysler, and gm parts , and it spelled amc! 😁👍

Awesome car to save. Love these AMC’s

Man I really love u guys and seriously she is really learning about cars I can tell with her dialect is right on the money about certain things she really pays attention and that’s awesome…..u 2 are great keep making videos and keeping me entertained thx!!

Richard you may not be a Master yet but still you are a Jedi! You must continue to learn the ways of the force!

There are some seriously interesting cars at that property! I hope there might be a re-visit to this property again for another revival. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to you both.

"Can you see it?" "Oh yeah." "What's it look like?" "I can't see it quite yet." - Most married conversation ever.

The Hatchback model differed from the two door mainly in the Quarterpanels and hatchback. Nice clean styling.

I'm gonna call this one "The Green Hornet" 😄😄 Another awesome runner! I'm glad the damage wasn't bad, that was a close one! Thanks for sharing and congratulations Richard! Great camera work Christina!

Cool car & nice job getting her running again.

Welcome back Christine! We have all missed you! Your the Ying to Richard's Yang! You make videos fun!

Ahh crawling in and out from under a vehicle; "OHHH MY BACK!!!!!!" Been there...

That is a nice car, it deserves some TLC. It would look amazing with a total rebuild. Well done again Richard 👍

I love it that you have your wife helping you, and agreeing as well that is so nice

Oh man I love those cars I had a red one with black stripes V8 3 spd on the floor and I could really kick myself in the ass for getting rid of it lol

That engine ran really well once you guys figured out the spark issue. That carb ran a lot better than I would have thought that it would.

Thanks for showing us this one. It's a "real honey". Sounds great. Whoever buys it might want to be careful. The "patina" might be the only thing holding the body together.🤣

Well done. Fun to watch too. Good to see you both back in action.

That runs really well! You know how to pick them!

Hi from Scotland. Nice video folks. It sounded pretty good, and idled well. I’m sure someone will be interested in restoring that, and keeping it on the road. There looked to be some other possibilities in the yard ? On to the next one I guess… In the meantime I hope you both have a great Christmas 🎄, and avoid all the crappy weather in the US just now. Looking forward to the next one. 👍

I'll take it. My wife had a Hornet, said it was a very dependable car, even in winter.

Christina ! You may not have a head for mechanics but you do have a. Pretty head and great personality!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I could see it smiling, happy for the first time in a long time.

Just incredible! You guys did it again using teamwork and know how. Very cool car.

i remember a simular one in a James Bond movie,red and he jumped a canal in it,man with the golden gun i think,nice car chase too

What a great pair , nice revival, smiles along the way , thanks for sharing , merry Christmas and jingle all the way 💨💨💨

That's so nice! If I lived in USA I would consider to take a look in that beauty and probably take it home! Congrats for you both! And thank's for share knowledge!

I am glad to see Richard is using the yoga mat, and the special gas can the gentleman gave you. Glad to see it fire up drive to the front yard. Happy that the both of you bringing cars back to life one more time. God Bless, and have a good day.

My aunt and uncle always had AMCs when I was a kid in the 1970s-1980s. I think they probably had one of each body style of Hornet at one time or another; and, later, even a few Eagles. I don’t think they ever bought one new but my uncle did buy them used at the local AMC dealership until the owner sold out his franchise and he seem to have slowly lost interest in AMCs and moved on to Chryslers by the mid 1980s. While my personal taste leads me more into 1960s Studebakers and I am not sure if I would ever stray when it comes to swapping cash for keys, I still have a soft spot for the old AMC Hornets and the 1965-66 Rambler Classics! I did own two Jeep Grand Wagoneers, though! One AMC and one Chrysler. The were both amazing and problematic. I loved having them but with fuel prices what they are today, I can’t say I would want another one.

Must be fun and rewarding to work with an old timer like Howard.

This has made really miss the favorite car of my youth, a '74 Gremlin X with a 304, with its 3-speed Jeep transmission it'd float the valves at 90mph, but it got there really quick, totally ugly fun! Thank you for posting this adventure and a hearty cheers from BC Canada to you and yours!

Guys Like I told vise grip garage, Get a Boat fuel tank, With a squeeze ball, and use that to run the car, You can put it on the front seat, with long hose, Great for getting fuel to these cars.

I drove one of these a couple of times back in the 1980's. Hopefully this one gets a full restoration.

Howard must have used his jedi mind trick to save the umbrella, another great job

This Hornet car was a lot of fun 😊 also great people to work with. Lov your videos. Merry Christmas 🎄⛄

Cool old car great job getting this ride up and running. Some sweet old rides in that yard. Good to see another video from u both. Merry Christmas to you all.

Your gloves are pretty remarkable 😂

It kinda reminds me of a Gremlin, but with a much bigger engine. That is a really cool and rare car. I'm glad the owner is deciding to do something with it. I'm an AMC guy. I love Javelins, Gremlins, and especially Eagles. Those things are awesome. My mom had a '73 Gremlin that was in 3 rollover accidents during the time that she owned it, and it barely had a scratch on it. I still have the owner's manual for it. AMCs are just cool.

Good job, hard work... Of all things... Jan. '24, I just bought a '73 AMC Hornet Sportabout Gucci X !!! So naturally, I enjoyed watching your clip ... 🇺🇸 ...

That hornet decided it wanted to be a ram too!!😁😂😂 glad no-one or nothing was hurt bad

Te felicito x la paciencia que tienes y las ganas que le pones a cada tarea,saludos desde Buenos Aires(Argentina)

Points..lol. add a dib of grease to the distributor cam for the points. Distributor was known for sleeve bushings, helix drive gear wear as well as motor oil seepage up around the shaft. Ohhh what a beautiful sound of my teen years.

"Hit it with a hammer" Christina you're hilarious!

Ooh Christina my beautiful flower.

Now this content (V8) or (I8) is what I love to see. You did good.

I was 13 when that car came out I do remember them but don't think their were that many of them a member of our church had the Hornet X and her son had the Gremlin X

ive enjoyed yalls work so far so keep up the good work

Hi it's Ken the clock guy. Watching your new video and noticed you replaced starter on passenger side. Howard said Hornet had the starter on different side than most. Really loved it. Good job by you and your videographer

50,965 miles? No way. And complete. That’s awesome. Wow! THE GREEN HORNET.

Wow omg you got her running kool awesome v8 sounds strong definitely hope wonderful. Definitely injoy this kool 😎 I'm glad you saved her. Just subscribed love it.

2dr V8, should be preserved for sure !

Great job. Merry Christmas

Good luck. It will run and drive.really cool car. Love it. Happy new year.🎉🎊

Good revival.MERRY CHRISTMAS to you two.

Love your videos! You are an inspiration!

Man, wished I had the moula, I'd like to have that, I like the old AMC cars, I've had a many of them over the years.

My mom drove one just like this when I was a little shyt same color too I sure miss my mother love em if you got yours still

Great job everyone, well done. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Christchurch New Zealand.

My mom had a 74 hornet 232 great car it was a 2door hatchback

Good job !

It’s a shame they don’t make amc anymore

A restore job for sure look nice in your garage richard ma had a 4 door with a trunk with a six in it 72 ma had copper color wow it looks snappy quick runs real good

That's a cool find my dad had a hatchback hornet to orangish red it was a nice looking and decent running for a 6 cyl. Again nice car guys

Amazing job. Congratulaciones! Grettings from Uruguay 🇺🇾🇺🇾.

I remember them cars when I was a kid. I'm a 60s child. But I actually don't know much about them to say anything about how they man and drove. I guess it would be a pretty cool car to fix up. It looks pretty neat. Hope you both had a wonderful Christmas. God bless.

I once owned a 1970 Hornet. 232 six and 3 on a tree 4 door sedan. Purchased it for $1k back in 1975. Sold it to my Navy recruiter later. I miss that car. It was good to me. Looks like a Gremlin that is complete.

That is a nice body style. I like how AMC made differents cars with limited resources, based on the same platform.

What the Rust love That AMC Hornet My Dad Had one It was a Yellow Station Wagon

Neat, lovely vehicle!

big softspot for AMC while i lived in canada i had a Jeep Cherokee 4.0 even though it was Chrysler that Jeep had AMC stamped all over it loved it

Have seen that done when a owner doesn't realize the starter is hug up engaged and keep on driving.

Cool car, great project!

Wow. They had plenty of cool stuff for you guys to work on if they will let you. That little scooter behind you looked cool, and they had a ton of old cars out there, and that really cool dune buggy thing. There is a lot to play with.

Missed your beautiful co host introducing the video.

AMC Hornet Javelins and Matadors pre 75 FTW...but post 74 AMC Hornets SST/AMXs are nice too

May you both have a Very Merry Christmas !

man with a golden gun ... bond film ... check out the hornet plus famous stunt ... great video ... merry christmas to both of you ...

One of my first cars was an AMC Gremlin with a hatchback. The only issue I had with it is if it rained and I drove through water it would get in the distributor cap and cause it to crack. Definite engineering issue but it drove and handled well. It was either a 4 or 6 cylinder but def not an 8. That thing will haul ... if it is running right!

Hornets had great lines.

that Hornet sounds great!

G'morning Richard ☕☕☕. I have a friend in Boise that owns atound 25-30 amc vehicles including 3 AMX's, a Gremlin-X, a Pacer-X , Javelins, Hornet's, Eagles & many others 😀

Beautiful!

Old Motorcraft 500cfm carb. Easy peasy! She'll go!

The engine sounds great

that golf cart looks like a goin to town unit right there.
