Re: [Amc-list] Trophy Queen

[Keith Evenson <epd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

WOW sounds like it was a good weekend for AMC's at MN shows anyway. I  
had my 68 AMX up to Little Falls for their show and just for fun I  
put it in the 2 seater class, I got a lot of looks parking by all the  
Vetts and T-Birds but anyway I got a 2nd place plaque with mine and  
in the Factory Muscle Car class there was a really nice red 70  
Donahue ( I didn't see anybody by the car all day so I didn't get to  
talk to the owner) he took first place in his class and Presidents  
choice for the show!  Anyway it sounds like there are plenty of  
people out there that appreciate something a little different.

Congrats Armand. By the way if you wne to the Mankato show where are  
you from? I live in Hutchinson.



Good Luck, Keith
