    My dad had an AMX when I was a kid, so it was the coolest car in the world to me for many many years. His was the same color (bittersweet orange), but with the shadow mask flat black hood.

    Thanks, that video brought back good memories :)

    Love the sound of a grumpy V8

    What sort of motor would that be, exactly?

    Whatever lives underneath that hood now has no doubt been built. It's probably a 390, or a 401.

    cool car.....AMCs rock!

    In that video I enjoyed watching the yellow Escort more.

    For real AMX videos how about these from back when they were new? The magic of Bud Lindemann... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R6gqjEzYZo&feature=related In this one the driver hits a cone in the slolam

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u_8tTV_J2E&feature=related Here they say that it exibits little body roll. That must be by 1971 standards because it looks like a sloppy mess.

    I suspect that you will be out there all day taking in the groovy music and smart quips.
