Can I ask how you got them on the top shelf?
We have a forklift.

They're called Cruising Wagons, and were produced in '77 and '78, if I recall correctly. Cool little cars!
someone there must be a good forklift operator as there is not much room above the side of the scaffold to fit the Pinto.We have a forklift.

No smog here in Florida. Maybe you need to sell it...LOLYes, and that is part of the reason the orange one is on a shelf. Needs smog here in CA. It ran but not that well.

For your Avalanche history lesson... They released it in 2002 on the GMT800 platform, in both 3/4 and 1/2 ton variants. Only offered with cladding. In 03, they updated the platform and released it without cladding as an option. Still could get a 3/4 or 1/2 ton. I'm fuzzy on the 3/4 ton without cladding variant. I don't know if that existed. If it did, it's a rare bird. In 07, they released the GMT900 and cladding ceased to exist. They also got very expensive. Since they killed the 3/4 ton Suburban, they killed the 3/4 ton Avalanche too. An Avalanche was essentially a Suburban with the roof over the third row hacked off.
I still think I'd buy a 3/4 ton Avalanche if I could find a clean, low milage example. They are more rare than LJR's though. I looked for a bit before I got the Colorado.
Thanks for that, Sri. Good read. I miss my Avalanche. It's the only vehicle I've held on to longer that 4-5 years.I just saw this and thought of your post

I'll take my '75 Matador X in red, please!!!AMC gave us so many cars worthy of a list like this I wonder what was going on in their R&D and styling departments back in the 70s, damn near the whole line up was atrocious. Couple of my favorites were the 72 Hornet & 76 Madator, maybe not quite as fugly as some of their cousins in the lineup but still painful, especially if you were a cool teenager in your parent's ride:

that is owned by the flying Nun...
Almost every AMC car should have been aborted on the drawing board. Two exceptions were the AMX and Javelin. The two seat AMX and its larger successor the Javelin are only okay because they could be had with 325 HP 390 ci engines but they were still turd ugly. The only not-fugly AMC cars were the 68 2 dr Rambler American and the 69 S/C Rambler. And you could build those light little cars into real cruise strip and track beasts.AMC gave us so many cars worthy of a list like this I wonder what was going on in their R&D and styling departments back in the 70s...

That's fucking cool. I'd drive that.Growing up my family had an AMC Matador wagon. Baby blue with woodgrain siding. I was always embarrassed of it. I haven't looked at one in years and looking at one now I'm thinking it's so ugly it's almost cool.

Sometimes ugly is so ugly it's beautiful. I have a strange fascination with weird small cars like that. Suzuki wagon-r, chinese and japanese micro-vans. Stuff that you could never sell in this country.I drove around is this for a year. (work car) its a Nissan S-cargo (<——- get the name)....That front windscreen was almost 3 times the price as a regular one.

Oh lord, we must report this post Chris. Scary content.
I want to load a 75 round AK drum, and shoot that thing until the drum is empty, then reload it, and do it again. Then burn whatever was still left.
I dnt think they were smoking Malboro when they created that lol
