This is my old Special Order 72 AMX for sale:

this was originally a AMC Zone Manager's car based out of Findlay, Ohio, and I bought it 
from his wife here in Houston in late 80s. It had 42K miles on it. There are a number of 
photos of it on my site as used to not only show it but drive it also. I just talked to 
fellow selling it a few minutes ago.

while the Johnny Lightning program discontinued by Playing Mantis many years ago, this car 
was used on the 72 AMX "coin" the little plastic coin that came with Series 1 thru 5, 
there is really old file on my site about that:

which was fun, as Playing Mantis used to send me CASES of the cars each time a new series 
came out! There was red, green, black, a too dark purple (was supposed to be wild plum) 
and I don't remember the other color but probably have a case of it still seals up in 
attic.

I sold it to Bill here in 1999, and he also bought my old 68 AMX The Red Death. Bill sadly 
passed away coming back from Kuwait on a flight in 2000 and his widow, Kathy, handled the 
sale of the cars, and tons of golf clubs and items and motorcycles as Bill was into a 
number of hobbies. At his rememberence, a large number of local AMC of Houston members 
showed up and needless to say, they asked everyone in attendance to hit a golf ball for 
Bill, as the memorial was held at a country club Bill sometimes frequented up on Antoine. 
I think of the 200+ people there, only a dozen actually 'hit' the ball worth noting, but 
was all in fun.

This car used to show well, and granted, it needs restoration now and I understand no 
title but was a fun car when I owned it 100+ AMXs and Javelins ago:

hope someone gives it a good home!
