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.

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?

For those of you who remember Island Porting in Broad Channel, my dad scanned a decal he had sitting in his shop, He ported heads there from about 1969 -1973. Lots of street racers had work done there. Thanks for the help, I was able to upload it!

FINESPLINE,
Thank You. Those are very kind words.
A short history. My father started racing (Dover Drag Strip) 1968.
Based out of his West Road Amoco Gas Station, Carmel, New York.
The place was a 'Hot Bed' for all the local street racers. Many would tune-up their cars at my fathers garage A geat place for a 12 year old kid to learn. 1971 my father started his own machine shop, Valley Motor
& Machine, Jefferson Valley (Northern Westchester) It all took off from their. I'm kind of STATISTICS FREAK..
Again, Thank You for the compliment.
Paul
