6th annual West Coast all AMC car show at the NHRA museum

Finally a 2nd SC/Rambler is found in So Cal

I don't know what the hell tri-poised power is.. .does anyone? And I hadn't heard of the 327 AMC motor that I remember

Goof collection of 8 tracks!

 AMX comparison shots

 Comparison photos

 

 How unusual... the AM is across the top, and the FM band  is on the bottom. Must have been at that turning  point of history when FM was in demand enough to add to the radio, but not as desired as AM that had better music.

 What a great road trip collection! Coolest set I've ever seen

 I've seen the same hood ornaments on other cars, I wonder if they were generic?

 Machine and Marlin... only in AMC (American Motor Corp) could they decide on cool names... OK, the Marlin flopped, but I like it. Hell, I guess the Machine wasn't a big success either, but damn... it is a great looking car!

Very rare AMC muscle cars together, and that is infinitely more rare. A Rebel Machine, a RWB AMX, and a Hurst SC/Rambler all parking together is somehting you'll probably never see again

Hurst SC/Ramblers are rare, and the red white blue color scheme is unusual among cars... but not among AMC models... the car behind the SC/Rambler is the Red White Blue color scheme AMX that honors the Craig Breedlove Bonneville record holding endurance trials, and the Hurst Super Stock AMX drag racing cars.

down in the bottom photo at the lower left corner is the tail of the Rebel Machine (it's not easy getting some cars in a photo unless the owners are ready for a photo shoot.)

AMC made some really cool cars, these examples were at the Orphan Car show in LaJolla a couple weeks ago

 this is the first Mark Donahue edition I've came across

 

the brakes are labeled Safe Command, the shifter is labeled Shift Command... I guess marketing told the designers that everything needed to be labled " - " command

I finally got photos published in a major market magazine!

the magazine is Auto Enthusiast, and is made from the former independant magazine titles Musclecar Enthusiast, Chevy Enthusiast, etc etc
