anyone recognize this AMX??

[Draginutz]

I went to my usual sat. morning car hangout (Burger King right down the street from my house) and soon after I got there a red white and blue AMX pulled in. I have seen this car a few time but never got to snap pics or talk to the guy (JIM). So anyway I got to talking to him and he has done quite a few open road and road course races with this car. I talked to him for a while and then he mentioned the forum and said his AMX was the first non chevy to be posted here. I am not doubting him but when I tried to do a search I got nothing. Does anyone know Jim or his car? Also I told him that I was building a pro touring 63 nova and he went on to tell me he was doing another 68/9 (can't remember which year) AMX but not as race ready as this one but for sure a protouring car. He lives right by my parents so maybe if I can figure out exactly where I will go snap some pics of his project. He then brought up that he would love to organize a pro touring Route 66 run in a year or 2. Thought I would put that out there and see if there is any interest. He also said he was invovled with a "Vanishing Point" run and is trying to get a few more Dodge Challengers to do the run. Thats all I know about it I guess if anyone wants more info on that I can track him down and get it to you. Anyway here are some pics of his AMX. Its by no means a show car but it has been driven hard and enjoyed and it still loooks mean (I think). Enjoy

[TonyHuntimer]

Yeah,

That's Jim Weyand. He was the first AMX in the cars section here on P-T.com...but Larry lost the directory or isn't pointing to it anymore.

Here's a link to more info on Jim and his awesome AMX:

great looking car... the dash bar scares me though.... can you say new kneecaps..

[Mingus]

Beautiful car. I've always loved AMCs performance cars. About 25 years ago I had a chance to buy a Rebel Machine for $1000. Good runnin/driving condition in primer. The guy even had a new set of decals for it. :hand:

Dash bar ............. ?? The windshield and everything else scares me ......... Thats why SEAT BELTS , the car has a 5 point harness , both seats . The dash bar is more than 12" from my knees and above , I'm 6'1" .

That roll cage (Dash bar included) is attached at 11 (eleven) points through the car .

[Draginutz]

Jim I haven't seen you at BK on Sat mornings lately. How are your other cars coming?
