Clean machine! New car for you guys or is it a gradual re-do of a car you've had a long time?

Re: 1969 AMX bracket car make over
We've owned the car since 1982. It was origanelly a 343 4speed car. The cars seen several make overs and this last transformation has taken 5 years but is nearing completion. The last time the car was raced it had a 9.5 to 1 390 with a hydraulic cam and 904 with a 3500 stall and 4.10s in the back and ran 11.50s at that time it had a 6 point mild steel bar and stockish suspenion.

Sounds like a nice project. Always loved the AMX.
What engine had the tunnel ram on it that is in the background? |

Sweet car. When I was a kid Wally Booth lived in my neighborhood. I remember his son had a really cool AMX.

It would've been really cool to grow up near Wally Booth. here in Oklahoma we are a long ways from most of the really well known knowledgeable AMC people.

Re: 1969 AMX bracket car make over
Cars together need to figure out why its twisting like this not something amx's normally do it's been a 6.80 at 101 in the 1/8th with a 1.48 60ft haven't got a good 1/4 mile pass out of it yet hopefully this weekend. but it goes really straight so no problem there i think it could use more gear too.

Re: 1969 AMX bracket car make over
There were some guys from Tulsa back in the day that ran an AMX called the "Spirit of 76"...The last name was Raffensperger they might be of some help if you can find them...Facebokk maybe....
