It looks like a front wheel drive Dodge Colt.

Do you realize that Bonnevilles and AMCs were made by completely separate companies :?:

BUT....

AMC DID use GM corporate steering columns in much of their lineup.
AMC DID use the 2.5L 4-banger after 1981, sourced from GM.

and...that'* about it I think.

EDIT - Oh yeah...GM door, trunk, and glovebox locks were used too.

So because they bought stuff from GM, do you think they are part of the same company? I think that'* called a non-sequitur.

I never said or even thought that. I know that AMC was its own entity, and still is (as AM General), and still use GM-sourced components.

Furthermore, this is the lounge, where ANYTHING or ANY VEHICLE can be openly discussed. EKG came here asking a question that as of yet nobody seems to have an answer to.

I still have a soft spot for those old woodgrain steering wheels
pacers look like fishbowls on wheels
and i do tend to agree
ricers would do that if they were around in '76

My point was and remains that a kid looking for information on a riced out unpopular 70s econo-toad from AMC should be able to find more information on an AMC specific forum than on a Pontiac Bonneville specific forum. Or hey, here'* a crazy idea, ask Car Craft. It'* amazing what a 20 second google search can turn up.

But don't be surprised if they don't admit to building it.
Never did I once post that he shouldn't ask his questions here. There'* that non-sequitur thing again.
