    That Mav is so sweet with the custom paint and cross bones. The flames and strobed paint make me jealous. I want something that outstanding on my killer ride.
    The square tipped ribbed pipes are good looking to me too. The only improvement would be, of course...
    Cragars.

    Have you considered making a functional tailgate, maybe modify an old Falcon Ranchero or station wagon tailgate? I think the Brazillian Maverick wagon had one in which the taillamps were closer together to allow it, iirc

    Isn't that stock?

    Remember when AMC gave everything all wheel drive? I think there may have been an Eagle that was AWD (same body style, big bumpers tho.)

    After checking, it was the AMC Spirit 3 door...
