It needs a lot of work, but it runs STRONG and I made enough money off of my Bandit to pay off the 98 TA, buy the AMX, and have a few grand left to fix up the AMX.

The color is a little odd, I thought it was dark blue, but it ends up it is Plum Crazy. So yes, I now own a purple car. The interior is run ragged, but I planned on replacing most of it anyway, so I'm not too concerned.

It will soon be painted Lazer Blueberry (dark blue metallic) with some 18x11s out back and 18x10s up front. Gonna redo the exhaust, lower it, redo the interior in a vintage Trans Am theme, and drive the piss out of it.

The engine is supposedly a 390 bored out to a 401. All I know is it is at least a 390 and it runs balls out, lotsa torque. Trans is a Super T-10 4-spd and it shifts smooth as silk and the clutch is really good as well.

I love the car, it was a blast to drive and I can't wait to get it home this weekend.

So, here are the pics!

Lady at work said to call it Grapes of Wrath, but if I paint it blue then that wouldn't fit anymore. I am in the dark here, help me out guys!

...because you'll be using that American Express card quite a bit to turn that one around ;)
