[BaadAssGremlins] Re: SS/AMX on ebay not!





Hi Davis, no one bashing Benvie, it is just this car was repeatedly thru a long time period, really long time frame, called a legitimate SS/AMX. And it wasn't and still is not. It would be like someone calling a Camaro a Yenko or Baldwin Motion or a run of mill Mustang a Shelby without any evidence. You have to authenticate stuff, nothing more. Pretty decals on 1/4 glass from being class champ means car was raced, and was at one time probably class champ in it's division. Not taking away anything from the car or past owners! So not on Benvie's ass at all.
 
One thing I (and others, lots of others) griped about last time was if....you make a claim....just like court of law you need evidence. This car is the usual phishing expedition that surfaces every few years to see if someone can unload to unsuspecting buyer. Burden of proof.
 
Read the description closely.....really closely.:
1969 AMX SUPER STOCK CAR. 390 CROSS RAM DUAL CARB SETUP 4 SPEED. HAS CORRECT STEEL HOOD AND SCOOP. HAS CORRECT HEATER AND RADIO DELETE PLATES. HAS NOT RUN IN YEARS BUT IS COMPLETER AND ALL THERE, BEEN STORED INSIDE FOR LAST 30 YEARS OR SO. CAR DOES NOT FALL INTO THE 55? NUMBERS LISTED AS FACTORY. WAS RACED AT NEW ENGLAND DRAGWAY. NUMBERS ON HEADS, INTAKE AND DELETE PLATES ARE CORRECT FOR A FACTORY CAR. NEEDS TO BE RESTORED, NO ROT TO REPLACE AT ALL. GOOD LUCK AND THANKS FOR LOOKING.  LOW RESERVE, YOU COULD NOT BUY AN AMX BODYOF THIS QUALITY, MOTOR, CROSS RAM , MALLORY SETUP AND ALL THE SS PARTS FOR WHAT THE RESERVE IS. WE CAN HELP WITH SHIPPING. BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SHIPPING COST. CAN'T CHANGE THE SELLING AREA, WE WIL SELL OVERSEAS.
 
There are more red flags here than Russian red army May day parade. So not bashing original, past or current owner. Just represent the vehicle for what it is, not what you wished it was, or guess it is or what someone's uncle told you it was, or what Zak heard on the EVP on Ghost Adventures when it glowed and sounded 'like' "Super Stock AMX" and Aaron said 'did you hear that?'

Actually this was Tom Benvie's car. I have seen it in person before he sold it a few years ago. Tom is one of the most knowledgable AMC folks there is. Its a shame to see non believers bash him online where its easy to type words. He has more factory info than anyone I know, possibly even more than Eddie.
   I dont think its right to trash a car because you dont like a particular person. Poor Tom Had been thrown under the bus soooo many times while he has tried to help our hobby.
 Hey maybe everything can be rehashed again?

this thing pops up every 2-3 years, same photos, same description, same bids on ebay. This was the old AMX that there was a thread
on many a year ago on old AMC forum about it's legitimacy of which was questions and rightfully so. Nice to see all the Group 19
parts on one car however, if someone ever ends up with this car, and thought they bought a real SS/AMX, then they screwed and
problems. Last time it was listed a slew of people only wanted the rare parts.

On other hand sure wished the seller would just represent the AMX for what it is instead of what it's not. I don't remember the
whole thread about this car years ago but seller had represented this as a real SS/AMX for years until truth came out then
backtracked, but by then I think it already had a new owner perhaps, just don't follow it much, only notice it when it pops up on
ebay with same photos, same text, every few years. Epect to see it for sale again in 2-3 years.
