My Grandfather has decided he is too old to drag drag a Super Gas car anymore and is selling his 1969 AMX.
It does better than 10.40's (9.8x is the best IIRC) with an all-motor 401. Has a title and VIN, can be street legal easily.
I can't afford it and it sucks to see him sell it. Tell your friends. 
Sending link to my Dad.
Wow I really wish I had the money for that...

Grandpa sells alot of stuff
Yup, it's his retirement business. He reproduces AMC parts (emblems and trim), restores jukeboxes and pinballs, and builds AMC race parts.
I honestly can't believe he's hanging up the helmet this early, though I'm told it's because he wants a street car (drive to track, go fast, drive home) so he can dump the truck/trailer/etc.
Get a loan and buy it! That thing is awesome. Keep it in the family.
Oh man, I used to have the same tile he has in his trailer in a bathroom in my house growing up.
Yeah, that's all I have to contribute.

Nice! I was going to say, "make it streetable!", but after looking at the pics, I can see that would be a difficult process...

Me: I need a loan.
Bank: What for?
Me: A car.
Bank: Okay, great! What year, make, and model?
Me: 1969 AMC AMX
Bank: A what? We can do classic cars, but what's an AMX?
Me: (Shows picture of wheelstand)
Bank: Uh, no.

The interior would suck, but that's about it. It has a clear title and VIN, all of the lights and blinkers work, and it drives well (I've driven it!). It would need a glass windshield and the wipers re-installed along with some street tires.
that is a real shame.. but better to hang up the helmet early on something that powerful than to wreck it and get badly hurt. Your Grandfather has a maturity rating of 10+

There are places that will finance a racecar/collector car, if you have good credit.
I'm sure that 4500rpm stall would be nice on the street.
That's a wicked car. Sucks to sell it, but sure can respect his decision.
Restores pinballs, huh? When I was a teenager I had a pinball machine called "Gorgar". Had some historical significance...I believe it was the first talking arcade game. Wish I still had it.

This is Florida we're talking about... Have a title? Have money? Here's a plate!

I thought a speedometer was required as well? All I noticed was a tach.

if you know the gear ratio and tire diameter, you can make a chart that shows what rpm equals what speed.. i drove my Nova for 2 years like that when i couldn't find speedo gears for the early 60's T10 that was in it..

700 Foot Pounds of Torque. So yeah, it is nice.
In reply to Javelin:
Usually more torque means less need for a high RPM stall converter. I'm just sayin.
Your grandfather is a badass.
One day left, only at $6000.
Drive it to the GRM World HQ and keep rattling the windows with cam overlap until they submit to your demands.

Gorgar was indeed the first talking pinball! I helped him restore one of those when I was younger, that was a cool machine.
