AMX-Clamation!!!Volumevolume 15 Number 3 May- June 2006 Serving the Northeast Ohio AMC enthusiast since 1991 AMX-Clamation!!!VolumeVolume 15 Number 3 May- June 2006 American Motors Ramblings... Scott Campbell When it was decided to send a two car team to compete in the 24 hour endurance race in Nurburgring, American Motors teamed up with BF Goodrich and Amos Johnson’s Team Highball, a successful organization sponsored by AMC since the early 1970s. AMC plucked two new AMXs from dealers’ lots, one black and one yellow, both 304, 4-speeds. BFG supplied plenty of new T/A Radials and a semi rig to haul the cars and spares. Team Highball had just a few weeks to ready the cars. They were prepped, including bolt-in roll cages, painted in the current BFG colors and tested at Mid-Ohio before being loaded on a ship for Germany. AMX #1 was engineered to be the faster of the two with the best possibility of winning the race. It would be piloted by Amos Johnson, Dennis Shaw, and actor James Brolin. AMX #2 would be the “slower” car intended to fi nish the race no matter what. It would be driven by Lyn St. James, Jim Downing, and journalist Gary Witzenburg. Upon arrival in Germany, the rig containing the cars was promptly impounded by customs offi cials. Not a big problem as the race cars were not permitted on the track until race day. While BFG guys were cutting through red tape, the drivers were busy learning the course in borrowed street cars. On the day of the race, thankfully everything came together for the team. By all accounts the little AMXs did remarkably well, especially as the only American cars in attendance and the only cars racing on street rubber. There were some problems, however. Both cars were plagued by brake and suspension issues. But none were serious enough to sideline them for long, so on and on they ran with the 304s screaming and each driver taking an eight hour shift in conditions ranging from rain to the dark of night. Since BFG was videotaping the race for a promotional fi lm they were elated that zero tire failures occurred with their new T/A’s. That fi lm, “The Ultimate Challenge” includes highlights of the race and is narrated by driver Brolin. After twenty-four hours (and in a strange twist) the #2 AMX fi nished fi rst in class while the #1 car fi nished second, 25th and 42nd overall in a fi eld of over 100 entries. The fi rst ever American team to enter the 24 Hours of Nurburgring did American Motors, BF Goodrich and the USA proud! Contact Information...

Scott has owned more AMCs than you can shake a stick shift at, and I for one need a program to keep ‘em all straight. This accounting was sent to me by Scott on 3/31/05, and I’m sure he has engineered several transactions since then - not the least of which is the infamous “Pink Panther”. So I’ll apologize in advance for not being up to date, but this is the most recent information I have. Name(s) Scott and Marlene Campbell Current AMC 1969 AMX Engine 390 Transmission Automatic Modifications I have made to this car None, I’m picking it up next week in St. Louis. This was a year ago; this car is nearly complete in its restoration by now. – Ed. Other AMCs I currently own – ‘69 AMX 290, ‘77 Hornet AMX, ‘77 Levis Pacer X, ‘82 Eagle 2-door sedan. Again, this can not possibly still be an accurate head count. How about updating us, Scott? -Ed. Other AMCs I have owned in the past Five ‘68-’69 AMX’s, a few Jav- elins, Pacers, several Hornets and Eagles, a Matador Coupe, a ‘77 Gremlin X, a ‘69 SC/Rambler, (And a partridge in a pear tree – Ed.) Future projects Restoring the current fleet Other AMC’s I have lusted after ‘71 Hornet SC/360, ‘70 AMX/ 3 How I got interested in AMCs “About the time I was 9 years old, my parents bought a new ‘71 Sportabout, and then a ‘73 Gremlin. They were base models, but brightly colored, so I liked them! In 1974, I joined an automotive postcard collector’s club, and another member of that club was none other than Richard Teague, AMC’s styling boss! We corresponded for a couple of years, and he even autographed a Pacer brochure for me when that model came out. When I turned 16 in 1980, I looked at only AMC’s for my first car! I wanted an SC / 360 or a V-8 Gremlin, but “settled” for ‘69 AMX 290 – automatic because it was a local car.

  • 1968 AMC AMX Rally Car PRICE £100,000
    1968 AMC AMX Rally Car PRICE £100,000 ABOUT THIS CAR IDEAL FOR USE ON: Flying Scotsman, Himalayan Challenge, Trans America, Rally Round Africa, Paris to Amsterdam, The 4th Alpine Trial, Slartibartfast, Maharaja Marathon, Peking to Paris, Flight of the Condor Rally Preparation Services is pleased to offer this 1968 AMC AMX classic car for sale. This long-distance endurance rally car was stripped to a bare shell before being purpose built for the 2016 Peking to Paris Motor Challenge, a now famous endurance rally. There is no doubt that in the right hands, this is a potential rally winner. AMC (American Motor Corporation) was formed by the merger of Nash Kelvinator (as in fridges) and the Hudson Motor Co. in 1954 and soon competed with the big three despite being a much smaller company. Innovative engineering such as tandem master cylinders and manufacturing practices such as shared componentry helped the company compete along with the far-sighted purchase of Jeep. A largely unsuccessful merger with Renault followed the eventual absorption by the Chrysler Corporation which phased out the AMC brand by the late 1980s. The AMX was a mix of sports car and muscle car. Production ran for just three years from 1968 to 1970 and was unique in being the only steel constructed two seater car made in America at the time and voted ‘Best Engineered Car of the Year’ in 1969 and 1970 by the American Society of Automotive Engineers. Rally preparation includes a bespoke roll-cage which follows modern practice of reinforcing the bodyshell and suspension pick up points.

  • American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information
    American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information 1956 Statesman and Ambassador 1956 Statesman Gets a New Look The 1956 Nash Statesman received a major facelift. The front and rear fenders were restyled. There were larger front running lights and new taillights. A revised hood ornament was used and one- piece rear windows replaced the three piece '55 unit. The chrome side stripping now included a shallow 'Z' shape on the side and outline moldings on the hood and rear fenders. A 12-volt electrical system was used for the first time. Statesman was being phased out, - so the only Statesman model available for 1956 was the "Super" four-door sedan. Surprisingly, even though its days were numbered, the Statesman engine was redesigned to fit an overhead valve cylinder head and a 1956 Statesman 4-Door Sedan. two-barrel carb. This did increase the power to 130 hp, ten more than the two carb L-Head had produced, and more importantly 15 more foot-pounds of torque. It also allowed the compression ratio to be reduced to 7.47:1 letting the Statesman return to regular grade fuel. This motor was shared with the Rambler, albeit there with a one-barrel carb and ten less horsepower. 1956 Ambassador Ambassador for 1956 still offered the 6 and 8 cylinder variants, though the six mimicked the Statesman in that only one body style was offered; the 4-Door Super. It too shared all the styling changes of 1956 Statesman, but on the seven inch longer wheelbase of the 1956 Statesman 4-Door Sedan.
