Hurst Super Stock AMX
 

I have been researching the Hurst Super Stock AMX cars for almost 30 years and have posted a lot of info on the cars. It can be seen here:

http://theamcforum.com/forum/ss-amx-...414_page1.html

I am still hoping to find more info and locate some of the missing cars. Does anyone here have any info on these cars they could share? Any pics?

I am also looking for info and pics of the orange Javelin with a blower that was introduced at the Indy Nationals in 1969. It didn't race but did drive up and down the return road all day. It was given away as the grand prize in the Oakland Roadster show in 69.

thanks for any help or info. I have a lot more to post so if you are interested in these cars be sure to check back every few weeks.

Sorry Tom, no info but got to say that those AMX's were some of the coolest " factory " Drag cars ever made

While we're at it, it would be cool to find out where a 69 AMX is that was built by Ronnie Kaplan for street use. It had the T/A Javelin suspension, etc. Rick Teague told me about the car because he used to own it. He consigned the car to AMC guy, Larry Mitchell when he was in Rockford IL and he sold it. If I recall correctly, Rick said it was Big Bad Orange. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Nothing to add, here. Looks like you're off to a pretty good start compiling stuff, though - well done!

Re: Hurst Super Stock AMX
 

I want to thank everyone who sent me info on these cars. ZI posted everywhere i could find and actually verified a few cars, found two missing cars, and talked to Ted Kijak, Ross Gilbert, and Dick Erlandson who actually raced these cars. Also corresponded with others, and the sons of 3 drivers who have since passed away. the info I was able to compile is incredible-and it's free to anyone. Just click on the link above in my first post if you want to know anything about the cars. And as always, if you have anything to contribute I would love it.


Thanks again.

Tom, I'm curious if ( being an AMC guy ) how much you know about the 1971 Machine Matador. I know this much. It was a option called " Go Machine " on the Matador. I've heard the less then 50 made before. I also know it had no hood scoop or crazy RWB paint like the 70's. I always liked the body style of these cars. Sure would like to stumble on a 71 machine with a 401 and a 4 speed !!!

Re: Hurst Super Stock AMX
 

You are right-no hoodscoops. they did come with the 15" Machine wheels and 4bbl carbs, either 360 or 401. There were right around 50 with the 4 speed, and probably an equal amount with the auto. A rare car!

Been awhile since I posted here and was hoping someone may have found something of interest. I did find Jim Riley of Mich, but not his car. Last known it was blue with "Camrisers" on the rear quarter panel. Found the Beachy Brothers car from Kokomo, IN. Located some owners but not their cars such as Van Buskirk and Copey out of Oklahoma. I am looking for any and all photos of these cars-maybe in the pits as a background, staging lane, etc. Have found 43 cars, identified another 8 but location unknown. That leaves only 2 left!

Have a new website going up. Go to www.superstockamx.com and click on the link at the bottom to get to a placeholder site.

Thanks for any and all help.

They were sure very cool cars. I wish I could help but you seem to be an AMC guy already and know a lot more then most. Ever see a Droke Brothers Javelin ?
