Any AMC Fans here?

[chemicall]

Just wondering if anyone here is a AMC fan?

got a red/red 69 amx, 290 automatic 3 speed. Not done, but getting there, Have redone front and rear suspension and brakes, cut the rear 1/4's out. Fixed the front end up, tranny was out just had it rebuilt. Next is the motor is going to be coming out to be painted, and engine compartment painted.....Motor has a cam, 4bbl, hooker headers, nothing too special. It's also got power steering, front disc brake, the motor has been rebuilt about 20 years ago and the car was parked, a tune up and it's a beast!! So here's some pics, anyone else with any amc or related cars, post some pics!!!

AMC's are alright cars. I have a buddy that has a nice '69 Javalin.

But I still like my '69 Stang better.

awesome! my grandpa used to drag an AMX way back in the day, was named "Retaliation" to rub ford/chevy guys the wrong way. always had a sweet spot for them, wish i had one myself.

the amx broke over 100 speed records before it was released. The 390 4 speed car did a average of like 156mph for 24hours or something....i'll post the videos, they are way cool!!!

Jav's are cool, but the amx's were top performer Let's see some pics of the stang!!! I like all old cars.

Your grandpa is cool!!!! and it is the truth some of the amc's can blow the doors off ford/chevy, granted there is probably more faster fords and chevys out there just considering theres probably more chevy 350's around then all the amc v8's combined, lol.

im going to get a tat on my forearm of the "Retaliation" that was on the side of his car exactly as it was on the car. sort of a tribute to him.

No no not a thread hi-jack at all. That's great that he did all that and you have some pics to show it off. I'm sure we will be all glad to see them, I would be proud of him. Vintage racing is awesome. Have a friend that has some dvd's he made from all the old days of racing here, lots of cool stuff., we watch it for hours and get drunk!!!

can't wait to see some pics.....
