not sure if you can log on this facebook group or can read it, but speedo gets goofy 40-60mph. Seat belts all factory American
Safety Equipment, although Noah was digging on floor for Legos, alignment is fine, toe out slightly, and have $400 of new TRW, Moog
(not chinese sh*t) but original American equipment, rebuild equipment in trunk. Just rebuilt whole brake system, this is a power
DRUM car, not power disc, also new heavy duty shocks on front & air on back. Can still do mid 14s for a 3900lb car though....of
course while texting, putting on makeup, answering phone from aMCers, eating BBQ plate on passenger seat while sipping 64 oz Texas
tea..

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving & gave thanks for those around them & what is important to them. It was sunny, cool, about 65
degrees here in Houston and drove out to relative's home with Noah for Thanksgiving dinner; Paige took the 82 Concord woodie low
miler wagon, and Jacob, while me & Noah took the convertible Rebel Machine. About 60-70 miles round trip. Since I had the Nikon with
me for photos, I put it on film and took a few "drive tests" of this car, which is now the longest have ever owned a AMC, this one
from 1986; previous record was The Red Death from 1980-1998. So with camera in hand (hey, it's a small powerful one, not Mod Squad
70s cell phone type) here are the three shorts I posted on you tube. See ya'll..
