Achto 27,574 #1 Posted September 26, 2021 Attended a car, truck, & tractor show at a local farm today. It was a small show but it was their first year having a show. Thought that I would share some pictures with you all. We parked my friend Joel's little SimpleCity in front of this Big Bud for a funny size comparison. The DJ "Hobo" built this customized 1946 Dodge to bring some tunes for all to enjoy Besides the show there were many other activities going on, hay rides, corn maze, petting zoo, plenty of things for kids and adults to do. They also had an air cannon for chucking pumpkins, it would easily launch a pumpkin well over 200yrds. 6 10 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZXT 2,401 #3 Posted September 26, 2021 There are quite a few cars in those pictures that you don't often see at car shows. I always enjoy shows like that! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not the best handling in the world and would spin ya in a 360 faster than you could imagine! But stylish and straight line FAST! My second favorite of all time... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,497 #5 Posted September 26, 2021 Love those first 2 pics. The International K is absolutely a favorite of mine and has been for many moons. I've seen those cabs plopped on more modern chassis. Imagine the beautiful lines of a 40s IHC on a more dependable drive line with usable towing capacity and stopping power... That's a thing I'd enjoy owning and driving. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The car was purchased brand new by the owners father and the owner spent about 25yrs restoring this AMX. Edited September 27, 2021 by Achto 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This '46 IH has been given a longer set of legs, few more ponies stuffed into the gas engine, and air ride suspension & brakes. Owner says that it will cruise 80mph, rides nice and she'll stop on a dime. He also showed me some pic's of a Diamond Reo that he is working on. It's getting upgraded with a Cat engine along with a long list of other mods. Edited September 26, 2021 by Achto 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 7,874 #9 Posted September 26, 2021 That washer fluid IV bag might be as tough to find as that cross ram. Well maybe not but figure no much have survived. Really cool I like it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,118 #11 Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) I've been watching YT video's of the cars my parents had since the day I was born. The 50's Buick was the sister car to my mom's first car, a 56 Olds 88 followed by the Rambler in 64. Edited September 26, 2021 by squonk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could not believe the difference between the two cars. Headlight, roof line, glass, dash, front fenders, were all different. Way more than just a trim package. Not too many parts would interchange between the two. Wish I would've gotten a pic of the two cars side by side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did notice the dual filters but thought that perhaps it was aftermarket on that one. Quote AMC also made an all-out assault on quarter-mile performance with the Super Stock AMX. At $5994, it cost $1900 more than a fully loaded regular 1969 AMX, the SS/AMX ran with the 390 treated to twin Holley carburetors, 12.3:1 compression heads, a set of Doug’s headers and exhaust system, plus a host of other modifications undertaken by Hurst. It was rather ridiculously rated at 340 horsepower by AMC, the National Hot Rod Association ultimately rated the SS/AMX at 420 horsepower and shuffled it among various classes: SS/G, SS/D, and SS/C. It could be ordered in all-white paint, or in the vertical red, white, and blue that banded the bodies of many AMC competition cars of the day. Only 52 were produced and most of those spent their entire life on the drag strip. Surviving models are extremely valuable. At 12.3:1 I guess he has to run Octane Booster! Has it been repainted?

Really cool I like it! I dunno. I saw one of those IV bags yesterday. It was in a '68 Rambler wagon being shown at the local car show. The car was a clean survivor. 232 six, a/c, automatic. White with blue interior. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
