Need info for 1969 Hurst Super Stock AMXs

tbenvie · 09-28-2009, 06:21 PM

I am researching the 53 Hurst SS/AMX, a joint venture between American Motors and Hurst. I am familiar with the www.ssamx.com website. Anyone have any info or pics they can send? Still looking for some missing cars:

Stowe Engineering, Hicksville, NY
Uncle Sam El Paso, TX
Beachy Bros Ray Well Motors car from Kokomo, IN
Chuck's Luck, Wayne Nissen, Shrevesport, LA
Flemington Rambler, Ted Kijak, Gilberts Speed, Lancaster, PA
Go Package, Skeeter Hernandez
The Big Menace, Dick Allen Motors, Westchester, CA

Here is my thread about these cars thus far. Can anyone help or point me somewhere?

Flemington Rambler, Ted Kijak, Gilberts Speed, Lancaster, PA

This car was owned by Dave Sippolie (spelling) his father owned the dealership. Dave ran a company called Trans/End that moved south, dont know if he is still in business. Ted was the driver, Ted bought the car and ran it a couple of years then went missing. Last I heard he lived in Somerville, NJ.

George Gudat and a select few have all the documents, 1969 VINs, VIN conversion #'s from the 1969 to 1970 SS/AMX's and all the tell-tale signs of a true original. I've asked that "they" (who seem to be the purveyors of the SS/AMX web-site) have a Galeen Govier or Kevin Marti type of documentation of originality. From what I understand there are three factions and none seem to agree how best to handle the situation. I spoke to George recently and he's finally had enough of the AMC drama club.
Are you looking for pictures to ad to the SS/AMX web-site or are you looking to start your own collection?

Ray Well Motors was owned by Larry Vitatoe's dad last I heard Larry lived in Chilicohte, OH. He haded a front wheel drive Olds for a while, that car the AMC was damaged one time in 69 at Bunker Hill Dragway the Detroit locker unlocked on gear change and went off trake and hit a lite pole or fence poll but was repaired..

I am looking for any and all info on the cars and hope to share it with everyone via the following thread:

http://theamcforum.com/forum/ss-amx-...414_page1.html

As you can see there is a ton of info and original documentation. I have sent a number of items to the owners of the SS/AMX website but most of it was ever posted. I also sent the stuff to another SS/AMX collector. For some reason the items are out there but not shared. I hope to locate and show the cars as they were and as they are now. I would be happy to share anything I get with other sites. So far a number of people have sent me items to help with the cars. A lot of the stuff I have posted has not been seen before.

Please keep the stuff coming. I am very grateful for the help on a project I have been working on for almost 30 years.
