Do you like to move about? When you move about, would you like to do so in a manner that is sporty? Then perhaps you need a Sportabout in your life!

Prior to seeing this ad, I had no idea what a Sportabout was. The seller is very informative though, pointing out such critical information as “The car is basically entirely made of Brown.” And what’s under the hood? A fire breathing V-8? Nope, its an honest and true inline-6. If this was a manual, it might be the most Oppo/ Jalop car ever. I’m not sure if NPoCP posts are really my territory but I just had to share this.

“Sportabout” is an AMC-coined term, it means a wagon with a sloped hatch.

I like it.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > If only EssExTee could be so grossly incandescent 04/22/2015 at 23:18

because slopes look sportier, which is why most hatchbacks aren't square anymore :(

There are only a handful of American-market cars I would pay to import to the UK.

For reasons unknown to science, the 4.2l AMC hornet is one of them.

I just like the way they look, and this thing is now second on the list to a 2-door notchback...
