Yeah that's no worries at all for anyone to book in on the weekend of the show. As there is over 60 AMC's indicating they are coming I have only be asking that the majority pre enter so I can work out some things this end. Saying that, all cars/owners can just cruise in and enter anytime (including 6pm to 8pm friday) and anytime 7am to late arvo saturday and up to about 11.30am on the Sunday of the show with or without a form as one will be provided when you rock up if you havnt got one. If anyone thinks they will be later then 11.30am just let me know so i can still get your car in. So if anyone wakes up on the Sunday and says "bugger it I will go" then they can just jump in their car and head off Tongue The show is flexible all round. You can come and go when you want. Cars arn't stuck at the show until a certain hour like many car shows nor do you have any set time that you need to have your car inside the venue etc. Looking forward to seeing you there if you are able to make it Smile

Awesome. You will have no trouble hitching a ride or two in some cool AMC's and Chryslers over the weekend. Hopefully a few AMC's get out for some cruising on the friday and saturday night. Thats been a bit of a highlight the last couple of years is the cars cruising Albury American Graffiti style both them nights. looking forward to it Smile

I am pretty sure their may be an AMX booked in for the track day too next year and at least one other thinking about it. I dont have much to do with the track day part but if you want to have a few hot laps around a racetrack at whatever pace you want (IE a stock 32 Dodge done it last year) then thats the place to be on the friday. There is limited places so you will need to get your name in early for the track stuff. If you miss out and really really want to get your AMC out onto the racetrack on the friday please let me know

Hi everyone

Not much news leading into Christmas. About 11 AMC's fully booked in so far including 3 AMX's and 4 Javelins which is amazing so far out from show. For example the first year show there was only 9 AMC's booked in all up from memory by the night before the show (yeah i was sweating lol) but we ended up with 28. Literally there is over 60 indicating they are coming next year and taking into account that we will lose a few I reckon 60 is the number. Huge for an Australian AMC gathering by all accounts

Retro Auto's magazine has a nice article this month on Colin Mains beautiful Canadian built RHD classic hardtop which was one of the cars present at the first Australian AMC show. Hopefully Colin is able to bring it again next year for all to see. Please feel free to add comments to the retro auto comment section as the more AMC/Rambler comments the more AMC articles they will run. I think the Javelin gets a spot in next issue or so too Tongue

Couple more likely appearances at the show:

78 Concord AMX:



Ex-US Marines AM General:



Need to track down a Spirit AMX for the show so we can have one of each generation. I'm pretty sure there is one or two floating around in Australia.

Yep just a couple of the cool cars coming Smile

If there is any year to bring your AMC along then 2018 is the one with what sounds like going to be such a large line-up of AMC's of most types. My Hornet wont be finished but I am taking it down as rolling shell just to be a part of it and so i can say I had my car at one of the biggest, if not the biggest, AMC line-ups ever in Australia Tongue

Hope everyone has a great Xmas and new year and see you on the other side

That SC/360 is AMC porn at its finest Smile

Hope everyone had a great xmas and new year. Not much to report at this stage. Only a couple of things I heard. The AM General Hummer may only be there on the Sunday. And we may have a Javelin under restoration on a rotisserie! I have never seen a car displayed at a car show on a rotisserie so should be a novel way of showing a Javelin on its side or upside down or whatever. Only a rumour at this stage but would be great

Keep spreading the news on your facebook sites, emails, club newsletters, chatting with other owners etc and if possible get your pre entry in as soon as you are able. Not 100% necessary but this helps me from my end a lot

8 Javelin/AMX's have officially pre-entered so far. Approx 20 AMX/Javelin's have indicated they are coming, plus about 40 other AMC's so here's hoping

Not long to go Smile


On a sad note Gordon Pendlebury's wife Lynne passed away recently. Gordon is a great AMC ambassodorre  and brought down the 1902 Rambler and the Madame Lash hearse and is a top bloke and it is sad to hear his other 3/4's recently passed. Our thoughts are with you and take care mate and hopefully talk soon
