Thread: 1970 AMX pics

Tweet

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.

Very nice car

AMX's are cool, and your's is really nice. What engine is in it?

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.

I kept my Mustang also.






Here's some interior shots of the AMX.

Mine was a 68 coupe. That one of yours would also make a nice Bullet stang.

dmw,

You have some beautiful cars. It's neat that you were able to keep them for so long.

Jack.

I still have my first car. 1950 Studebaker Champion. My dad bought this in 1969 for $50. I drove it to high school 1972-74.

Not many guys were lucky enough to have two such fantastic rides as that fastback 'stang and the AMX, but to also have the foresight to hold on to them (plus the stude!!) through the years is truly amazing! I would bet you are one of very few who can claim such a feat. My hat's off to you.
