that is the coolest thing I have seen in awhile.
I always thought that AMC built and engineered some pretty good cars..... in general. ( gremlin????? not so sure bout it).... they also had some pretty good success with t he TransAm series back in the d ay!???

My favorite Gremlin commercial was in which people kept telling the driver someone stole the back of the car.

Grew up in a household where the old man loved his AMC/Jeeps and Ford pick ups.
I've got a friend who's hot and heavy into AMC's. I just moved his '67 Ambassador wagon for him.

Odd that thread didn't come up when I searched AMC in the search. Before I started this thread I wanted to check and see if any others were started and I didn't find anything. That is an old thread though.
Thanks, that is really cool

Unfortunately, that show will never take place again and the potential of it happening is done.
The dealership building is currently in use as a used car dealership.
Once upon a time it was an AMC/Jeep dealership. The owner had some really cool memorabilia. He had a few promotional engines on display, a few survivors in his own collection. When AMC sold to Chrysler he got the Chrysler franchise. About ten years or so ago, he moved up the road about twenty miles and into a new building and restored the old building to it's AMC roots.
That's all gone now. From what I've heard he sold a lot of his memorabilia. And the building is now being used as a satellite to his main dealership.
Here's the rarest AMC I've ever seen. Fiberglass prototype for the 68 AMX built by AMC in 66.....
I have more pics if anyone's interested....

I LOVE 68-39 AMXs. If I had a chance to buy a 390 4 speed one, it would be hard to say no. Would I sell my 69 Fastback for one; no.
Here is a picture of my wife's 1980 CJ-5 when I first bought it.

Last year, before I bought my Demon, I nearly bought a '70 AMX.
360 c.i with auto, but I was in fact time looking for a 390 c.i. - 4 speed.
The AMX was in reasonable shape, but still a lot to work on it, so I stepped back.
The 1970 AMX is in my opinion the best looking AMX.
A Hurst Scrambler or a Machine I would also consider...

I've always loved the AMXs and Javelins. There are always some nice looking ones at Moparfest every year. Here is a pic of a beauty that caught my attention last year.
My brother owned the '70 and I owned the Spirit AMX

I really like the AMX's and early Javelins are cool too and of course who wouldn't want a SC Rambler. My father-in-law has a real nice 64 Rambler 440 2 door hard top. When he bought it someone had installed a Chevy 350 with a 350 turbo trans and a Ford 8.8" trak loc rearend. The engine is real tired so for his birthday I rebuilt a 99 Chevy 350 Vortec that I will be installing next month. Would have loved to have seen a Mopar powerplant in it but it already had the Chevy and I got the Vortec gave to me in real good shape, just needed freshening up. It's already white so I'm thinking about having the SC stripes (paint scheme A) painted on since it looks so similar to a SC Rambler. He's a real gearhead so I'm sure he'll love it
I owned a couple Gremlins that I basically purchased as cheap beater cars. The 232 and 258 engines a practically indestructible. I later purchased a 1983 Spirit GT 4 speed that I drove for 15 years. Probably the most reliable car that I have owned.
Here's a picture of my son's first car that I'm working on for PA inspection. He bought it off the Alabama Craigslist and had it transported up to PA.
We're slowly getting it road worthy. The 1983 SX/4 hadn't been inspected since 1989.
