Isn't this AMX a beauty. I took this photo Tuesday night outside the Gawler rooms. It belongs to fellow club member, Doug A, who seems to be as much into Ramblers as I am into Bolwells. The AMX is a 2-seater coupe with a high compression 390 cu. in. (6.4l) AMC V8. It looks great in signal red. Doug bought it 20 years ago as a body shell and a few boxes of bits, including the engine in bits. He collected parts for 20 years and then took 12 months to restore it to this. What a great job.Another good car there on the night was a 302 John Goss Special (blue bonnet not green) but it was too dark to take a photo. It belonged to David, a young bloke who had just joined the club. He bought it in Sydney on eBay and flew over and drove it back.
The guest speaker that night gave us a good rundown on importing cars from America. Makes you glad Australia is full of nice cars anyway.
