The Hornet replaced the Rambler American for the 1970 model year and was built until 1977. It was sold as a sedan, as a Sportabout wagon from 1971 and as a hatchback from 1973. Engines were the 199, 232 and 258 cu in sixes and V8s of 304 and 360 cu in. The SC/360 of 1971 was a muscle-car version with the 360 cu in V8. For 1978 AMC restyled the car and renamed it Concord.
