[BaadAssGremlins] AMC miniature dealerships: Dick Allen Motors

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This one of a kind miniature AMC dealership features legendary Dick Allen
Motors. It goes on ebay Monday night December 8th and as usual, no reserve.
This was built by me and sons in November 2008. All NOS MIB (mint in blister
pack) cars used. The posters and ads in and on it are authentic miniatures.
Here is the actual text description, then scroll down to look at the photos
of this neat booger:
==================================
Dick Allen Motors was already well known in AMC circles for their racing
efforts, but WELL KNOWN in the west racing circles for wrecking havoc on
drag strips. The first photo shows the dealership with a massive arsenal of
AMC weaponry that would stop any race fan in their tracks. Charlie Brown
(Super Stock Javelin on car hauler; Breedlove AMX (on trailer); Grant Rebel
(Funny Car); The Pointed Stick Super Stock Javelin; Breedlove Speed
Spectacular Javelin; The Menace (67 Rouge); A 68 Javelin called "Catchup"
(Bracket Racer);  69 SS/AMX called "The Big Menace & two other high
performance AMCs not shown. With that in mind, and spirit, here is a
miniature AMC Dick Allen AMC Dealership sporting a brand new set of MIB NOS
(mint in box/new old stock; taken out of original blister packs to build
this dealership in November 2008!) American Motors High Performance cars.
Note some of the cars feature opening hoods, real rubber tires and some are
LIMITED PRODUCTION. Like this dealership which IS HANDBUILT AND ONE OF ONE.
Make no mistake about it, this is not your grandfather's Rambler and if it
is, it turns 10 second quarter mile ET's! Out front is a full blown candy
paint Rebel with blower! Looks like two employees are admiring this monster.
Those gas pumps are full of Ethyl and Hi Octane gas, not unlead spew. Next
to the mighty Rebel is a off the showroom floor Hurst SC/Rambler, and it
appears to sport a Edelbrock STR-11 Crossram intake. Bet that makes some
brand X owners miserable at the strip on weekends. To it's right is a
California 500 AMX in Big Bad Green, most, if not all, of the California AM
Dealership got one of these for a big promotion at Riverside in 1969.
Lurking in back in front of the Peter Max MOD looking AMX billboard is a
fully customized and blown Metropolitian. Stretched out this funny car is
well known as the Metrorail! Next to the building is a SS/AMX, could that be
THE BIG MENACE perhaps? Inside near the Group 19 High Performance Parts
Counter, you can order Mallory, Trendsetters, Hedmans, everything AMC high
performance. And next to the counter is The fearsome Drag On Lady of Shirley
Shahan! Sure to bring in  race fans for a look. The Dealer Showroom is
filled with neat memorabilia like AMC racing posters, original American
Motors ads and more! On the rack inside is a brand new Gremlin, looks like
the Allen's will be yanking the trusty six and beefing it up with a AMC 390
and 9 inch rear! This is a place where I would have loved to hang out as a
kid, just to see this much muscle by American Motors in one place. Thanks to
the Allen's for use of one of their original photos from the 1960s. The Dick
Allen Dealership has all brand new cars and was hand build by me and two
sons in November 2008. The dealership has opening garage doors, factory
miniature ads and posters, gas pump, Union 76 sign, and THIS DEALERSHIP
LIGHTS UP FROM INSIDE and is HO Scale. Again, this AMC MINIATURE DEALERSHIP
IS ONE OF ONE.
