Kicking it back to you this week. There wasn’t really anything exciting or even remotely interesting in the industry to cover, which is sort of becoming the norm. I can only talk about so many electric prototypes and compact SUVs before I go clinically insane. I’d much rather hear from you this week. So with […]

I’ve heard of CXC Simulations. And I always assumed it was a sort of private club for race car drivers and those with extra cash looking for a spot to practice their driving lines in a consistent, controlled environment.

Would you like to sport about in this 1975 AMC Hornet?

10comments
It’s no Gucci Sportabout, but this 1975 AMC Hornet looks like it would be fun to try and save. Especially since it’s ripe for some manner of engine swap that brings power and fun way up. At one point, AMC was popping the 360 V8 in the Hornet, but that’s not what this particular machine […]
