a) Rust is more positional than by design. Part of the reason I selected Orlando is because rust has to be imported. I have sold a number of cars on photographs of the undercarriage.
b) In 1970 when I returned from SEA the AMX was one of the cars I considerered but just could not take the interior.
c) Later I repaired a lot of AC Delco hood tachs from Rebel Machines. AMC had trouble making a nice dash & had to buy add-ons.. Of course you could say the same about a Studebaker Starlight Coupe.
d) Do think the '66 Rambler Amreican coupe was a greatly underrated car.
