    1970 AMX pics

     



    A friend of mine wants to do a calender and asked me if I could bring my car over to do some practice shots. Eventually they will get better lighting and a backdrop. They had a profesional photograper there but these are some I took today.

    That is a sweet AMX! I've really come to like them over the years.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    It has the 360 High Compression Typhoon with BW T-10. $35 option for the 390 but they opted for the $90 8 track tape player.

    They had a Hornet and a Matador in the movie. The Hornet did a 360* spin off a ramp and the Matador was the plane car.

    Thanks guys. I have owned this car since 1975. I bought it when I was 18 years old and hung on to it. It used to get street raced a lot back then. Thankfully we both survived.

    I drove it up until 1982 when it was parked and I started a complete restoration on it in the mid 90's after I decided it was cheaper to restore a muscle car than stock car racing for the previous 12 years.

    You did a great job restoring it to what I believe they looked like new on the lot! It's nice to read stories of folks who still have their first hot rod or muscle car. I wish I still had my Mustang. One day I'll get another one.

    My brother Kevin had a blue and white 70 AMX the body and interior was just as nice as the one in the pictures here. His buddy blew the motor and my brother bought it for $500 bucks. My brother was thinking he was gonna have me rebuild it for him but the ex and I moved away just after he got it. He called a tow company to tow it to the junk yard.
    I was sick after I found out what he did, and still am today.
