AMC Automatic Transmission Choices

This is also like an April Fool's thing for me.

I bought a 68 AMX a few months into the model year from a guy who couldn't afford the payments he thought he could. It had a totally junk Borg Warner automatic that needed rebuilt at 20k miles. The next year they changed to a Torqueflite.

In 67, I bought a Barracuda with the top engine offered - a 273/235. The next year the 340 was introduced.

Yes, I suck at timing.
