My Hornet is blue (well,sort of) I believe its a 232 but theres so 
much crud and grime on the motor I cant tell. But its got the three 
on the tree!! I thought that it was a sedan but its a 2 door coupe.
(got so excited when I found it I about piddled like a puppy and had 
my head where it wasnt sapposed to be) Just like the bad assed s/c 
360's. Thats why the grille is metal. I thought also that it was 
plastic. I wish my Gremmy had a metal grille. I am going to "try" to 
keep it as original as possible. Its only got 62,000 original miles 
on it. I would like to take it to the AMO show coming up. But that is 
aways away. What I need to do is get it up on stands so I can really 
check things out. I did notice that the lower ball joint on the p/s 
is going south. JUST WHAT I NEED..ANOTHER AMC! GOTTA LOVE THEM EM'!
