1981 AMC Concord 4 speed wagon

Bought another older car, this time a 1981 AMC Concord wagon with 258 straight six and 4 speed. It has power steering and manual brakes, and aftermarket wiper delay and a MICO electric brake lock, that allows locking the front brakes.

Nah I'm still puttering around with my 82 Eagle wagon I bought five years ago.

The the Concord wagon is essentially an Eagle, minus the 4WD and a few trim options.

The only thing I liked was the 232 inline six, much better than the plastic pan 258

Shortly after mips got his I saw one in Superior/Duluth on vacation and have spotted one of twor since. Not common cars these days but not extinct either.

To keep a car out of obscurity it's important that someone in each locality keep one road worthy and either daily it, or at least drive it a couple times a week to help keep it in the public conscious.

+1 about the car running/visibility.
Also, if one maintain the car stopped/parked for too much time, some mechanical parts starts to fail.

Having three cars in HS driver's ed, two were 78 Dodge Aspen and one was an 80 Concord. Damn glad I learned driving the AMC not those truly awful examples of Chrysler's V (valiant) and L (dart) carlines.

The AMC Concord was a far better car than comparable models from MoPar, GM and Ford that were offered then!
