Awwww....EFF. Sorry. I was gunna put a pic of a 69 Camaro on there but changed my mind at the last minute. Sorry for that. I took the Camaro text off and replaced it with Challenger and didn't even say 1972. Good call though. I know they didn't make them until 1970 also--I am a Mopar man as well... AND NO EFFING COMMENTS ABOUT THAT GUYS! We've already gone throught this...

And good call there too. Like I said, I was gunna put a 69 Camaro down until I forgot I had this picture. This car is one of my dad's dealer friends who did a RestoMod... That is the picture of the actual garage he built specifically for this car. Yes, it was originally a 340 car...but he restored it with a 440 Six-Pack, Hurst pistol grip 4-speed, 3.90 gears, and painted it the (EV2) Hemi Orange. He made his 1972 appear as a '70 T/A car.

Trans Ams, most definitely. I've owned about 20 of them now, currently have a 98 TA and an 89 Formula.

I like all musclecars, though. I also have a 74 AMX. How's that for an oddball car?

What makes yours even more oddball is the fact that it is a 401 motor. The largest engine you could option in them is the 390...did you have the stock motor bored .030 over to get the 401 ci displacement?????

401 is a stock AMC engine size.

But I didn't AMC only offer the 390 as the biggest motor option for the AMX? What else did they put 401s in? Matadors? Jeeps?

well here's mine couldn't find one the way I would do it but this is close. I would want it tubbed and narrowed a little and different wheels and change the purple to green.

360,390 and 401 were options in AMXs. One of the guys I work with has a 74 AMX with the 401. :thumb: Orange with white stripes, all original. He calls it red but I say it orange.
