njsteve: carfuwy vewwy, vewwy carfuwy. done just like a tow truck, a bar in front and behind each tire, then traingulated to a block and tackle at the top of the rack, then pull the chain till you are blue in the face, no big deal. i first saw the system when i got charley's miura , that fella had em five high i recall.

Also the first Muira I will own is in that pile.

[/ QUOTE ] I saw that immediately, as soon as I got over the silver GT40 in the foreground. To me the Miura, especially the SV version, is the European equivalent of our COPO cars (same 68-70 period, all out performance, timeless styling). I'm with you on owning one of those Charley. I almost bought one before I bought the Red COPO car.

Jeff...That is what we call a GT20.. Hurst...Have Prototype post some pics of his AMC stuff...

The production figures for this car are combined with Shelby KRs. I think it's like 1 of 34?

jfk, i'm a sucker for the unloved children of the collector world. we could not get gto's until 69 in canada and you could not get beaumont's or acadian's.

green, crappy olive interior (i did mention the unloved), 4spd, converted to vinyl

jeff, it's a 20....p1131, you'll get it.
by the way sv miuras are overated, sexy in the rear bonnet but the bumpers and headlights suck, other than the split sump (which not all SV's got incidentally) they make the same power. oh ya the prices suck too.

If you want to get rid of that unloved green/green car send it my way. I don't beleive I have ever saw an SD that color. Very nice car along with the rest you have there. Thanks for the posting the picture. Like NJSTEVE ask, I'm curious as to how you get the cars on the racks.

jfk, my middle name is kreskin

check earlier post

appreciate the compliments guys, hopefully i'll do my job right and save a couple of these for future generations not just beat on em like charley

speaking of charley, here's a couple to show ya what he's all cranked up about. just to get a perspective of how low they are look at the green beaumont, the miura's roof is at the door handle height of the beaumont and two feet shorter, it almost looks like it could fit into the quarter panel, 100 hp more and almost 1000lbs less, oh ya four wheel discs too





everyone of these cars send a chill up my spine, yes even the unloved stuff, face it we are all whacked in one way or another. have a great sunday guys and i hope some of you have better dreams tonight. the amc chapter will have to wait, back to family and the supercross races!
