|  Re: 1968 AMERICAN MOTORS AMX "VON PIRANHA" EDITION Early AMX's are cool but the dummy rooftop scoops was taking it too far. It's a 'Shift Command' Automatic car too, were some Piranhas built w/ sticks? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete -

			ive had a bunch..and driven quite a few...impressive little cars that are very under rated...my favorite was a weird 68 it was burnt orange..a 290 4 speed stripper even radio delete with trend setters (side pipes) and a posi that thing was an awesome little beater...just you the motor and side pipes...it was just so rusty it wasnt worth saving...everyone wants a 390...right? my next was a big bad orange 69 with G-Pak and 390 4 gear..loaded..next would be my 69 390 4 gear polo green with white stripes...i even had a fake red white and blue car that was a driver..they all just kind of ran together after a while....i used to buy everyone i could find and had a large AMC business..and i miss it..good people, real good people 99.9% of the AMC people i knew where just great people...and extremely cheap...lol....

			Given the fact notable HiPo dealers did drive line conversions like Nickey and COPO like Yenko, this attempt is kind of feebele, when it appears the conversions consisted of wheels, an intake and those roof scoops that make it look like a frog.   It looks more like a 70's program that consisted of adding stripes, a Landau top and some opera lights and you had a "special package"
