AMC's and the modern Mopar show world

[Ghoste]

I was looking at a 69 Javelin the other day (not to buy, just saw it sitting in a driveway and stopped to look) and it made me wonder where they fit in today.  The Nats always has a section for them but are they really a part of the classic Mopar era that we tend to worship?

[69bronzeT5]

They are classified as Mopars BUT I will always see them as AMCs. However, I have no problems seeing them at Mopar shows

[bull]

I'd put them in the red-headed stepchild category for sure but they're still invited to the reunions.

[WingCharger]

They are a cousin I guess, but where else they gonna go?
I guess we kinda "adopted" them.

I love AMC's myself.

[Ghoste]

I wonder how classic AMC owners feel about the "adoption"? 

[TruckDriver]

I love Gremlin's, Hornet's & Javelin's

[Sublime/Sixpack]

 I get a kick out of AMC's, in fact I've owned and driven one for 20 years now. I think its nice that Mopar people have welcomed AMC's to their shows and events, but I don't really see them as being full blooded Mopars so to speak.
With that said I still keep my eyes peeled for a good solid Gremlin, they're a hoot!  And I think a Pacer done up right would make an awesome sleeper.

i put they are bastard step children, but i do enjoy seeing them at the shows since there are ussually just a half dozen or so...

I thought it had come up before Brock but I did a search and turned up nothing so I figured I was having memory dyslexia again.

[Brock Samson]

 and amx search did it,.. we have several threads on those and the reble machines and the javelins,..
i think they are cool as i've stated often but they are no MOPAR,..

blown Hemi under the back glass?

[WingCharger]

Back in the day, AMC company research guys would make "skunkwerks" cars with 426 HEMI's installed in them...

Who can't love the Rebel Machine?

[dpm68]

About ten years ago at KCIR, (Kansas City (MO) International...) a big older cat raced two Gremlins with mid-mounted BB Chebbies in em. They were hard to beat.

I like how you think.   

[Ghoste]

After you stuff a Hemi inside of a Pacer where are you going to put someone to drive the fool thing?

Minor detail.

pessimist

More like realist  , there is only enough room inside one of those turds for a Hemi or a driver, one of them has to go on the roof.

hemi blower sticking out the roof, why didn't i think of that

[41husk]

I would consider the AMX, Javeline, Marlin and Ramblers more Mopar than the 80's Mitsubishi crap Chrysler put out

[ACUDANUT]

AMC= All Mixed CRAP.  Ford starters, Chryslers Transmission and GM electrical. 

[captnsim]

NOT MOPAR!!!!!  But cool.     
Here is a hot Gremlin

[John_Kunkel]

I agree with 41husk , there's a lot of vehicles carrying the pure Chrysler Corp. banner that are a bigger embarassment then AMC.
