Ya'll take note of what Terry mentions below. " The one I went to in St 
Louis had
about 8 or 9 Gremlins but no 77's or 78's that is why I was so upset I 
didn't
take mine." Terry, if you would have taken your's chances are if judged you 
probably would have taken at least a Bronze Award. And to boot, been the 
only one of it's kind there. I took photos of every vehicle on the field, 
and there was a number of vehicles I didn't see. Don't recall seeing a 
Concord wagon, or 66 Rebel, no 80 AMX, no 67 Ambassador convertible although 
two 68 Rebel convertibles, of which one is shown here. And like the NAMDRA 
AMC Nationals, you will see classes with no entries. It all depends on what 
shows up and where. There have been meets (regionals) I have sponsored or 
attended where all the cars are 68-70 AMXs, but few 71-74 Javelins or AMXs, 
on the other hand, some, I have seen what I like to call 'the bread and 
butter attack' you see dozens of Ramblers, 
Hornets/Gremlins/Concords/Spirits/Eagles, and also station wagons and four 
doors. These are the 'bread and butter' cars that kept AMC in business day 
in and out, so ti is refreshing to see them on and at meets! Don't be shy, 
you with friends, don't let that BBG Calif 500 AMX car intimidate you just 
because a $10K paint job. The field is there for cars, all of them, from six 
shades of bondo to cars that have made special arraingements to come from 
museum to display. Besides that is what my Planet Houston AMX award is for 
thru the years, it is for cars that "show the most potential and 
promise"..............some owners go the course, some leave as is, no big 
deal it is all good. A number of other clubs are now also giving these types 
of awards as many times it is a incentive for the owner to keep going and 
stay the course on whatever it is they started! I would like to know what 
happened to the 70 Rebel Machine STATION WAGON in Atlanta I gave this award 
to, would like to see it now!

But go to these meets, as you will learn. Take photos, it might help in your 
restoration down the road, you can find parts, meet people and best of all, 
have a lot of fun in 2006 with people who share the same interest as you 
do....in AMC.
