AMCing is believing

AMC 3.jpg

Whattsamatta, you gettin’ bored with all these GM cars and Mopars at the strip? Plug the ennui all by yourself. We’ll show you how, in a trio of photos from Labor Day weekend’s eighth edition of Musclepalooza at Lebanon Valley Dragway. It was a snap to find a trio of American Motors adherents banging heads on the bracket battlefield, and claiming the win column as well. First was this local guy rocking the gearbox in a completely unrestored S/C Rambler, as the rust spot on the roof and the wrinkled quarter panel demonstrate. And this was the car’s good side.

Next up is a regular Musclepalooza attendee, one of our faves, hammering a quick-bracket 1970 Rebel Machine, here doing a top-end runaround on a Corvette with a somewhat lower e.t. dial. You have a lot of difficulty finding a Machine anywhere but at an AMO national event, much less in the bracket pits.

A few passes later and lo, what do we see but this AMC Spirit, strutting fresh metallic-olive plumage and putting the spank on this oh-so-traditional tube-front Gasser, a Chevy inside and out. That Spirit, running on an 11.88 dial, is packing a very spirited AMC 360. Score three for the indie crowd.
