1970 AMX Super Stock

 

This is AMX S/S # 3 known as “Patriot-1”. The American Motors  factory transformed the sheet metal from a 1969 model to represent a 1970 model, as only 1 of 53 examples were ever produced by Hurst Performance, this is a rare car indeed. 

There are more HEMI S/S Darts out there now then have ever been built by the factory, how many people can say they have an original?  This is the real deal, it was purchased new by Phillip Frisbie.

 

 

 The  390 CI V-8 engine features an Edelbrock STR-11 cross-ram intake manifold. Fuel is mixed by dual Holley 4-barrel carburetors with velocity stacks that are sealed to hood with gaskets allowing it to gulp fresh air from the power bulge scoop.

 

 

 

 

The interior is typical 1960's, black carpet, black high-back bucket seats and of course a Hurst shifted 4-speed  manual transmission gets the job done. 

The exterior is painted in AMC factory race team colors in Red, White and Blue. The paint and lettering is flawless. The chassis features  Hurst drag-race shocks front and rear and the rear end is filled with  4.44:1 gears and a spool. The rear is hung on Super/Stock leaf springs while the front has special coil springs.

                     For rolling stock you can't beat the Cragar S/s chrome wheels wrapped in Firestone Drag 500 slicks.
