Hi,

Just joined and looking forward to cruisin' this site.

I currently have a sort of "Oddball" of sorts, a kind of RestoMod/Pro/Touring '71 AMX I have owned since NEW plus a new Trans Am project.

It has been lowered 1 inch with major chassis upgrades, Wilwood 4 wheel disc brakes, 16 x 8 Halibrand 5 spokes and a pump gas 420 HP 360 AMC V8 built by Doug Rippie Motorsports. The only one of it's kind!






We just picked up a Fully Loaded '78 Trans Am Gold Special Edition WS6 car that has been sitting out in the high desert since 1992. Plans are to do a mild Pro/Touring car with this that can be returned to stock if the need arises.

Thanks!! I'm a Minnesota Native and the AMX spent it's life in Minneapolis from 1973 to 1995!

Here the car is "Stock" in 1995 at Brainerd Intl. Raceway at the Dragstrip, then in Turn One at 120 MPH! Turned 150,000 miles at the track with the original engine! Go Figure

Thanks. Love the Camaro with the LS7!

My friend and I are starting on a book with regard to P/Touring 2nd Gen Camaros and Firebirds on several different levels. The '78 T/A above will be a level one car with two or three additional cars each more extreme.
