Could AMX, Javelin, SC/Rambler, Machine or AMX/3 [!] be built today? If enough AMC people wanted to buy them, all could be built, indeed. It depends on the people: their wants, their means and their dreams. It depends on how strong, how resourceful, how independent they are. Stiff upper lip and battle-hardened "been-there-done-that" attitude. Think what AMC people could do, if, like Jeffery, they were British. Imagine words writ large on all new American Motors Corp. documents: "We have no distributors or dealers at all. Please contact us direct." That's the way they could successfully build and sell us any new AMC. Fantasy? Or fact? http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/pics/BristolBlenheim3_Image1.jpg http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/pics/BristolBlenheim3_Image2.jpg http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/pics/BristolBlenheim3_Image3.jpg http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/pics/BristolBlenheim3_Image4.jpg http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/pics/BristolBlenheim3_Image5.jpg http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/pics/BristolBlenheim3_Image6.jpg "We have no distributors or dealers at all. Please contact us direct." That's the spirit, the only way to do it. Bully! God Save the Unique! We have no apologies for what we offer and, like one AMC List Rambler, http://www.wps.com/LPG/index.html we can build one to run on LPG. http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/Blenheim3G.htm We sell "older" and newer cars http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/BlenheimSpeedster.htm http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/BristolFighter.htm (Snakebite Kit option recommended if driven around Vipers and Cobras) and we still count a completely satisfactory "circle" of repeat buyers. http://www.planethoustonamx.com/parts%20&%20Literature/amx_quarter_panel_sig n.JPG http://www.planethoustonamx.com/parts%20&%20Literature/amx_racing_team_sign.

Look what yields a bow tie now! http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&q=amc+block+logo Who says we can't watch car paint dry out? But back to the "quoting." Bristol in 2005: We (they) like being individualists and are willing to pay for that. We like the drive train a Kenosha-built M-body AMC car could've had. http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/Blenheim3/specification.htm Mopar in review: "Police Package Diplomats were available starting in 1981 until the 1989 cancellation, with the ... 4bbl 360 V8 and tough 727 Torqueflite 3-speed." http://www.allpar.com/model/dodge-diplomat.html http://www.allpar.com/mopar/318.html AMC/Renault in 1985: Please tell Chrysler Motors we would rather use our -own- 360-ci V-8: http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Shut_Up_Files/70javelin360engine.jpg http://www.javelinamx.com/javhome/jwr/73hornet360/093004f.jpg (one of which may benefit from some spring cleaning and spray paint http://www.rit.edu/~cjqfms/spiritpics.htm if it doesn't have some much higher, er, ah, aspirations instead) http://groups.msn.com/AMCRebelMachine/machinemotorsetonkill.msnw?Page=1 Chrysler Jeep in 1998: Would a 360 in an AMC-designed body make the world's fastest SUV? http://www.jeep.dn.ru/Grand_Cherokee/images/1998_5.9_Ltd_GrCh.jpg http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/roadtests/131_9802_eval/index4.html Well, gol-eee. Harrah! We finally have a factory-built Jerrari. DaimlerChrysler in the 2000s: New body, new drivetrain, new question, Got a HEMI in that Jeep? So we end back where we began http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/ knowing that the last of the "last" of yesterday still lasts on the last of the "last" of today. Interesting. Pointless, but interesting. Unless you like learning more about AMC.
