Default Re: Connecting Highway

hemicop,
I can remember (1969/1970), guys were selling the 63' and 64' Dodge Max-wedge cars, because they were not pretty, at the track. Drag-strip racers sold them fairly cheap to street-racers, who of course pounded them 'Unmerciful', till there was nothing left...AHHHH!
If they only knew,,
Paul

I have a whole website about the race car AMXs, especially the Hurst built 1969 Super Stock AMX, Check here and click on the "visit" link at the bottom:

www.superstockamx.com

The S & K car is car #19 on page 5, John D'Andreas non Hurst car is on page 6. I have been researching these cars for 30 years and would love to correspond with anyone with more info.

thanks

I've visited your website a few times---great stuff. I thought John's was a factory car---obviously I was wrong. I have a friend, Tom Iverson, who used to work at Randall's AMC when they were building the 401 Gremlin's (actually, he was in charge of it all) and worked on Penske's Trans-Am team when they ran 'em. He tells some good stories. I don't recall ever seeing the S&K AMX ever running the street by any of its owners but I do know John played alot on the street--don't know if he ever took his AMX out, though.

Tom,
I sent you a Private Message on the Yonkers Garaged S/S car, originally from south New Jersey. Still searching for Delmar Delaware racing photo's to confirm.
Also, the Flemington Rambler sponsored AMX was at Dover for a
big S/S event back in the day.
And Arnie Goldberg's B/MP car (from Official Auto Parts, Yonkers).
Arnie's Javelin 'The American Rat' was a runner. Man that car was light.
Also, a true S/S car ended up at Fink's Car Sales (AMC/Jeep/I.H. Scout)
in Mahopac, NY (1974). Trying to find the details. The head mechanic from Fink bought it, (second or third owner). Like pulling teeth.
Paul

Bunny Hop,
The 68' Mustang was a converted 68' S/S car. An ATI transmission
equipped car. It was designed for Match-Racing (Show Car). Not really a legal SS/EA car. May have been a 'FE' 427 with twin-carbed high-riser.
She was friends with the Brooklyn-crew, when they went to
Cecil County and Capitol.
Came to Dover with red-Mustang (bubble-hood), and John Lyles I think had the Hemi GTX. Should have been late-summer 68'?

Hi Paul-I PMed you about what to look for on the car. I am also looking for info on the AMX at Finks. It may be the American Image car out of NY. Anyone have other info, pics, etc? What color was it? Anything?
