Thanks. Those were some of the parameters that drew me to the car in the first place 40 years ago with regard to how the lines flowed and really blended with the interior layout. What Mark Donohue was doing on the race track with the car at the time didn't hurt either!
Trans Am Champ '71 with Donohue and Roy Woods in '72
Road America before the Trans Am (Mine's the 3rd car down in the front row).
By the way, looking good at Speed Scared the Crap out of me! I photographed the car while my "Drag Racing" friend who owned a straight line 11 second '64 Dodge Max Wedge car drove it!! I prayed he knew how to turn at 120 MPH!!!
But if you really want to see a nice AMX and a color that accents the lines, check out my friend's '73. Much Cooler!
