[AMC-List] I'm looking for my old '69 BBG AMX

[Metropolitan57@xxxxxxx]

Hello,
 
I've been an infrequent lurker on this list for the past ten years.   I've 
always been a admirer of AMC cars, and one of my most painful experiences  was 
the sale of our Big Bad Green AMX in the summer of 1976.  I don't  recall the 
purchaser's name, but he was headed to Princeton, New Jersey for  college from 
Tacoma, Washington.  I've seen numerous pictures on the net of  BBG AMX's and 
always wondered if one of them could be "MY BABY".  
 
The car was had a rather unusual set of options.  It was a 390 with Go  Pac, 
four speed, 3.54 posi rear end.  The weird thing is that it came with  vacuum 
wipers and manual steering.  It had charcoal woven vinyl upholstery,  a 
standard AM radio, and dash plaque #10248. It came with the Magnum wheels and  trim 
rings.  The wheels were subsequently replaced with Ansen 14x6 dished  aluminum 
wheels. I had installed an Addco rear sway bar, an Accel dual point  
distributor, Holley 600cfm carb, Hooker headers and a Sig Erson cam.  I had  
fabricated and installed a sheetmetal spoiler to the front of the car.  I  would hope 
that the current owner has had the good sense to correct my  indiscretions.  
One thing that I truly regret is that I drilled the hood to  install locking 
hood pins. 
 
The car was purchased in Manatowoc (sp?), New Jersey in September,  1969.  I 
suspect that it was a special order car intend to be drag raced  and the deal 
fell through. I can't imagine a dealer flooring a car like that  intentionally.
 
If there is anyone out there in AMC land that knows the whereabouts of this  
car, I would love to hear from them.  I know I have the VIN somewhere, but  
there is 30 years of water under the bridge!  I assure that my intentions  are 
pure.  I simply want to know how she has weathered the  storm. 
 
Thanks for listening to my rambling.
 
Mike
