AMC = Mopar?

while the big three all contributed to AMC, it just so happens that chrysler was the one to buy them out. if chebby or ferd had bought them out ,would they be considered a chebby or ferd? highly doubtful. personally , i love AMC muscle cars. they may have had pieces and parts from the other companies, but their designs and appearance packages were all their own and very unique. i have owned a number of jeep cherokees and i have loved every one of them. i think the main reason for chrysler to buy out amc was to obtain the jeep nameplate. clearly with the jeep carrying the pentastar on their vehicles, they are a mopar NOW. but obviously, up to that point ,they were still just an AMC.below is a pic of one of my jeeps and a couple random AMCs that are not mine.hell, my 1977 dodge charger SE isnt even accepted or respected as a dodge charger by most.
