Did I aquire a Mopar ????

Yeah, AMC had their quirks- remember Rambler's vacuum operated windshield wipers? Stomp on the throttle and they would come to a complete stop... I do fondly remember the fully reclineable front seats, though. :rolleyes:
We used to call them "the rolling rummage sale" because of the amount of other manufacturer's equipment on them- Chrysler and GM automatic transmissions, Delco and Motorcraft ignitions, Motorcraft carbs, Ford brakes, and on and on. Not that it made them bad, just a little odd sometimes.
Their "Group 19" (think Mopar's Hustle Stuff or Direct Connection) had a lot of cool stuff for their cars, though!
