AMC SC/Rambler AIR Team car
 

Thank you Xplantdad (Bruce) for all your help on the picture posting. Grasshopper learned well.

Here is the history on how this car came to be: http://www.ramblerrogue.com/maverick.htm

This car was one of James Garners American International Racing (AIR) team cars. They had ten and only two were 4WD.

Hope you guys can expand your horizons and enjoy this one, it's a real oddball.

Numbers on the roof and night driving lights up high to reduce glare.

Strap into the deist belts and settle into the comfy sofa you got to sit on for 500 miles through the desert

Ignition key kept on a lanyard

Engine was set back over a foot to compensate for the added weight in the front from the 4WD differential. Check out the modified firewall and radiator set back.

Fred, It was awesome to talk to to you on the phone last night...I love to expand my horizons. Life is truly a learning experience. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Charley, thanks for persuading Fred to start posting on the site...I can't wait to see what else he has in store for us https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: AMC SC/Rambler AIR Team car
 

Ahhhh.
So Charleys the one we should blame. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Holy crap is that weird...I was waiting for a damn Jeep to appear....I think Prototype is probably weird enough to hang out here !

Re: AMC SC/Rambler AIR Team car
 

Wait till you meet Fred face to face and he gets in your space......

Anyone want to guess what the black car is that is being used as a storage cabinet ? https://www.yenko.net/attachments/179430-pics166.jpg

I recognize the barn. Is he picking up your 2nd Gen Motion Car?

Re: AMC SC/Rambler AIR Team car
 

Joel Rosen built Storage cabinets?

Re: AMC SC/Rambler AIR Team car
 

Hmmm...a prototype of some kind...I'll bet. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Ron Popiel here folks...you may remember me from the Pocket Fisherman.

Well it's almost 2006 and do we have something for you it's a:

storage unit
snow plow
barbers chair
black thing thats needs polishing once a week
fantastic investment

You could go to Barrett and buy a red one with all the hype for God knows how much from the gold chain, need TV exposure crowd (oh sh#t that's the prototype, I gotta have it) or you can call.....

1-800-Charley and get yours today


What the hell was I thinking, we needed to get:

the car
two motocross bikes
our gear, stands, fuel jugs and tool kits
fourteen R/C airplanes
set of wheels

That was one full trailer and a very patient Mr Lillard. I appreciate your help reconfiguring the shelf unit. Customs was a riot. Hey if I keep buying Charley's cars and take pictures in front of the mezzanine people won't be able to tell us apart. That's a scary thought.

Have a great day, Fred

Well if its a black Yenko Turbo Z, it may be the one that a carclub friend of mine bought new back in CT. I think I still have photos of it somewhere from way back when, in 1984 or so?

Re: AMC SC/Rambler AIR Team car
 

Its the whale tale Motion converted car. At least it has a decent owner now. Tha car has more switches and gadgets... I think Charley sold it because it was too complicated for him to operate!
