RE: Car Craft wants more AMC....got one?

["John W Rosa" <JohnRosa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, here's a bit of 'narrowing-the-field' for you
folks. The Car Craft rep I've been dealing with is 
the same gent that just did the article in the Feb 
2005 issue, Douglas Glad.

Most of the submissions I've received thus far have
been stock or street-driven mild mods. Doug is 
seeking cars more heavily modified as he describes in 
the two notes below...

"I am looking for modified and fast AMC's that are able 
to run on the street. 10s or 11s with stock interior 
and interesting paint and wheels. <snip> I've been the 
yards for the last 3 days to pull a 360 for a motor 
build. I am looking for combinations from reader's, 
do you know any builders/readers that have a stout 360?"

and

"The '79 is definitely nice but it is an older build. 
We're looking for modern styles and a fresh build. Great 
car though."

That's Tony Zanelotti's AMX he's speaking of...a car
I'd kill to own.

(It always kills me when they talk about 'streetable 
10-second cars'...which simply don't exist. No such 
car can legally be driven on a New Jersey street, as 
they'd never pass State inspection. I know- I worked 
there.)

If anyone has a car that fits Doug's criteria, do let 
me know and I'll pass it on to Doug directly.
