Just got back from choir practice. Being a holiday it was kind of slow but I did find this in the shop.

A red AMX. These cars were only made for three years between 1968-1970 with a total production run of a little over 19,000 units.

At $3,425 it was a $1,000 less than and 1" shorter than a Corvette.It was introduced at Daytona Speedway on February 15 1968 where it ran a hot lap at 130mph.

At the time this was the only other two seat muscle / sports car built in America.

Always liked the AMX's. A friend in high school had one, 390, 4 speed, go pack, pretty quick for the day. Mike

Last week there was a Cord at the shop for some front end work.
Bill Lear {Lear jet , 8 track tape player inventor} bought into the company looking for a platform for a motor he was designing .He never got the motor past the prototype stage but they did turn out some of these cars.The engine option was a 302 Ford or a 440 Mopar.





This one has the 302 Ford.

I can't wait till tomorrow to see what shows up.
