[AMC-list] SST mystery solved

[William 'Chip' Lamb <chip@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The late 1960s and early 1970s were the dawn of the supersonic 
transport - remember the Concorde and the stillborn Russian project 
that looked similar? SST was a catchword (catch-acronym?) for the 
wave of the future. Like AMC, however, the real SST's production 
future suffered a slow decline due to governmental interference and 
fuel consumption!

"Super Sport Torino" it was not!

Saw a nice '72 Ambassador SST at the Raleigh Classic auction last 
weekend, really low miles, blue with white top and interior. Dave 
Murray of Orlando Classic Cars bought it, so he'll likely have it on 
his site before long unless he already sold it. The car should make 
my auction coverage in Sports Car Market in or about the May, 2010 issue.
