AMC RULES 37,141 #1 Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Few people knew...at the same time as our Biglerville show... on the opposite side of Gettysburgh was the big AMOA AMC show/convention...just sharing a few picts here for anyone who cares to look. BTW, the AMC Nationals are being held next weekend in Kenosha Wisconsin if anyone is interested. Interesting side note, hardly anyone in the AMC circles knows anything about the AMC/Wheel-Horse connection... but curiously, I did see someone at the show riding around on an anniversary model ...next years feature tractor. Couple walk-around videos here... ...seems my hand isn't as steady as it used to be. Edited June 25, 2017 by AMC RULES 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slim67 2,740 #10 Posted June 26, 2017 You got to love AMCs. I like the gasser on the trailer myself. Any idea what motor they are running in it? Later modelAMCs looks were different but the earlier stuff was as nice or nicer than any others. Nice pics and looks like a show worth going to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howie 899 #12 Posted June 27, 2017 My former boss has a couple of the AMX's and a couple of Javelins. Wife's uncle had an AMC dealership for years and she worked in the office there. Had a new '70 Rebel 2dr hardtop dark blue, black vinyl top, a yellow 72 Javelin SST and a '74 Matador X in a green. Have never been to an AMO show but would if it were close enough to me. Be at my other national show this week the GTOAA! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amcwheel85 2,059 #19 Posted July 8, 2017 I love the pacer.. it's a love it or hate it design... more ppl that hate it and talk bad about it the more I love it lol. And as far as matador I think these 401 2 doors are beautiful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,141 #20 Posted July 8, 2017 The following were taken back in 2008, at the Chilson family AMC dealership, Lawrenceville Pa... place has been stuck in a time warp, since the doors were closed back in '88(I think)when Chrysler officially took over. Really neat place to visit, but pretty difficult to see in person...as the doors are rarely opened up to the public. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amcwheel85 2,059 #21 Posted July 8, 2017 Yea Gordy chilson is a very good friend of mine. My dad actually took a cruise with his friend in his big bad green AMX the other day and had breakfast with chilson. Great guy. He has another huge garage full of amc muscle!
