A huge thank you to all the customers who stopped by the Kennedy American AMC Parts vendor tent at the 2024 AMO National Convetion. We value you and your business. It was great to meet so many of you face-to-face that I speak to on the phone! Travel safe!

All set up and selling to many amazing customers from all over. Great to see so many repeat customers and so happy to meet new ones as well. 2024 AMO Convention in Petersburg, Virginia: Innovation for Generations

Looking forward to seeing you all in Virginia for the 2024 AMO Convention! Look for us in the vendor area. Travel safe.

AMO 2023 National Convention. A little rain doesn’t scare us! Having a wonderful day in Knoxville. We appreciate your business!

Hoping to see you all in Knoxville! Drive safe and let’s have a great week!

Two of the Kennedy American Gremlins made a late-season show today. Not often does November produce 75° days, perfect for a show!

We ended up with an extra rear seat upholstery kit for a ‘68 Javelin with black Ventlair vinyl. Normally this kit is $365.00, we’ll sell it for $315 to someone in need!

Just in time for spooky season- if 10.9% interest on an Alliance doesn’t scare you, nothing will!

SX/4 owners- we have correct door decals for your bird. Printed on clear vinyl for factory appearance, UV coated for long life, and made to order on fresh 3M vinyl.

We rescued this ‘80 Eagle today before the scrapper came. Significant frame rot means it will be a parts car, but it’s full of good used parts to keep your Eagle alive, including almost all of the hard to find 1980-only items.

Now in stock- correct remanufactured Kelsey Hayes calipers for ‘71-74 disc brake cars. These are AMC calipers, not the incorrect Mopar version that most parts stores are selling today. These will be sold as exchange only due to very limited supply- when we receive your core we will ship the replacements. Left hand is BR007, right is BR008 and they are $119.00 each.

We stopped by the Pittsburgh AMC Get Together today. Great event, at a wonderful venue. Thanks to Greg and Scott for hosting and planning such a nice afternoon!

Customer Casey McGowan’s beautiful 1974 V8 Gremlin received a fresh stripe kit yesterday!

Every stripe we sell is duplicated from an original NOS kit in good condition and made to order on fresh vinyl. We use only premium 3M materials and UV stable printing where required.

Many other stripes on the market are made from tracings or drawings, which will lead to distorted lines and poor fitment. In addition, we can supply individual pieces in case you need to make a repair or make a mistake.

We’re hearing about a lot of cam failures on new engines again, and it seems improperly hardened lifters sourced from China are the culprit. We had a lengthy call with our supplier today, and you can rest assured that we will continue to offer only North America- built lifters, made with the correct crown and hardness.

One of the heroes of our beloved American Motors! Without his unparalleled ability to design, facelift, and share parts to accommodate tight budgets, AMC wouldn’t have had the success they did!

Despite losing his right eye in an auto accident at age six, Richard Teague went on to have a distinguished career in automotive design, first with General Motors, then Packard and Chrysler before joining American Motors in 1959. Teague became AMC vice president of design in 1964 and held this position until his retirement in 1983, overseeing the development of many iconic models. He had a knack for working within AMC's limited budget to produce new, fresh looking cars from existing designs. As part of the inaugural class of 2012, Richard A. Teague was inducted posthumously into the AMC Hall of Fame as Person of American Motors.

Finally in stock- 1971-1974 Javelin instrument panel assist handles! Molded in one piece urethane with steel spine, these will never split or crack. Our part number is IN492, and price is $79.00. Ready to order now, or stop by our tent at 2022 AMO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION / GLCAC MOTOR CITY MUSTER to see and buy in person!

We’re proud to have hosted Joe and Jimm of American Motors: The Last Independent Automaker today. Be sure to give them a like and support as they continue to work hard to tell the AMC story!

Kennedy American Mobile made it back from Kenosha! Thanks to all of our friends who stopped by our booth, and a huge thank you to Mike Spangler and the whole crew from Kenosha History Center for putting on an excellent show! We’ll be working hard these next two weeks to get ready for another great event in Livonia.

Kennedy American had an excellent first day in Kenosha! Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Kennedy American has arrived in Kenosha!

Happy July 4th! To celebrate, enjoy some American Motors iron. Here we can see Dick Teague’s genius in one picture. This Eagle and Hornet Sportabout are separated by a decade and a half, and each looked contemporary for their era, but they share virtually everything from the A pillar rearward. Clever restylings made the most of AMCs product budget!

Here’s a rare item now in inventory. A complete, NOS accessory power steering kit. This is for 1975 I6 cars, except for Pacer, though it should fit other years. Complete with pump, box, pulleys, brackets, and hoses. The box mounting bracket is the only part not brand new. Part number is 8125306, and price is $495.00 plus shipping.

After years of being unavailable, 1969 battery hold downs are back in stock. These are correct for all models in ‘69. Handmade, but very close in appearance to NOS. Our part number is EL105, $79.50, and hardware is included.

Is your Concord cooking? Your Eagle wagon weeping? If so, you’re in luck. Late model AMC radiators are once again available. These radiators exactly duplicate factory fit and appearance, and are available in 2 row, 3 row, Desert Cooler, and aluminum.

Applications (with AMC I4, I6 or V8 only):

‘78-‘83 Concord
‘77-‘78 Gremlin
‘79-‘83 Spirit
‘80-‘88 Eagle

New product coming soon- 1971-‘74 Javelin dash grab handles. Molded in solid urethane with a new steel spine, these won’t peel, split or crack like NOS or a recovered original. Factory grain, stitching, and seam are all accurately reproduced. Watch for another announcement with availability and final price.
