The car A.H. Adkins runs is not a "real" SS AMX? That car has been around in SS trim a long time....it's the first "class" car I ever saw run!

Adkins is a "clone" as the real ones are too valuable to cut up. No different than the other makes rare race models. And there really is not much sense in building a modern / competitive Hurst SS/AMX as there is nothing really special about the body. No lite-weight parts to speak of.

I think Mike Withers from Grafton,WV is a real car.

Great site...

You got any additional info on this one, or who's it was originally.

I see that this one had a Texas sponsorship on the quarterpanel, so I assume it was from there when this photo was taken. Back in the early '80's we had a Super Stock AMX being raced here in Nova Scotia by an American whose name I can't remember offhand. He was here for work, and went to Texas next. I remember seeing his car for sale in ND a year or so later. It was black with "Brand X" on the door.....this car reminds me of it. Could it be the same car I wonder?

how many of these cars are actually left? My dad's friend has one stored in his garage, and its been there i know 30yrs,

The last count I heard was that 43 are accounted for.
Mike Withers car is original ,as is the Harry/Larry Goliday "Wild Child" car.
I just sold some parts to a guy in Emmaus ,Pa who is restoring one to original condition, altho I don't know all the particulars.
