The Bad:
The engine smokes bad when starting and never really goes away. It is my opinion the engine will need a complete rebuild. Carb is a new Holley 2barrle but still has a hesitation upon acceleration. The car has very little rust outside of surface rust. The only 2 spots I can find are just below the wagon door(pictured) and a half hearted patch attempt on the fire wall(pictured). The car does take in water up front and will need to be kept under cover until addressed, especially when raining.
All questions welcome. I have a lot more AMC stuff I will be listing for sale. Last picture is my front yard. Everything for sale minus the 79 Concord, for now.....
