Brake Line Problems

This goes for any car not just AMCs, but recently I have run in to a lot of bad rubber brake lines or hoses. I 1st ran in to this problem 15 years ago, and have had more and more cars turn up with this problem. The trouble is even if your brake hoses look good on the outside, they can be partial or completely closed off due to rubber deterioration on the inside. What happens is that the rubber brakes down and swells, cracks and separates. All this causes the hose to become partially or completely plugged. When this happens you will not get brake fluid to the caliper or wheel cylinder, causing that part not to work, so you have no brakes at that wheel. This mostly happens to cars that have sat for a long time, or don't see a lot of miles. SO if you have a brake issue you might have a problem with these hoses. To check you would 1st see if you are getting fluid to the caliper or wheel cylinder. If not, check the bleeder valve to see if it is blocked, if not, disconnect the hose and see if you get a good stream of fluid, if not, check the next line where it comes together, and so on until you get a good stream of fluid. Replace what you find to be clogged, and don't forget about the rear rubber hose for your rear brakes. You should check you hoses and see what they look like, even if they look good, they are probable 30-40 years old, and have some of this rubber deterioration. You might look at buying a set of hoses while you can still get them.

Porsche design chief Tony Lapine boldly admitted that significant inspiration for the 1978 Porsche 928 was the work of AMC design chief Dick Teague, specifically the "lost-in-(production)-translation" 1975 AMC Pacer. I kid you not.

Classic Cars
Always Call Those Ads

Joseph Cargagna, Jr found this 5,000-mile all original 1971 Gremlin in his local newspaper's classifieds. It pays to follow up on promising-sounding leads...
Did you ever read the classifieds in your local newspaper and see a listing for a car for sale that sounded way too good to be true, so you disregarded it, thinking that it was nothing more than a misprint?

Well, Joseph Cargagna, Jr. thought otherwise when he saw a listing for a 1971 Gremlin, advertised locally, that had been driven only 5,000 miles. He figured he had nothing to lose and called the seller. It turned out the owner bought the car for his wife back in 1971, then she died nine months later. So,he parked the car in the garage and covered it with blankets until he decided to sell it more than 30 years later.

For just a few thousand dollars, Joe got himself a true AMC survivor. The Gremlin is all original, without a single mark on the factory-applied paint, upholstery, carpet or chrome. The compact cruiser looks as if it just rolled off the Kenosha assembly line. So, the next time you see an ad for a Duesenberg in your Pennysaver, it just very well could be the score of the century. But you gotta call to get it.
