Remember the Renault?

Remember what it did to AMC?

King:

AMC was far from stellar in any way before they shacked up with Renault. If anything, AMC gave Renault a shed of consistency in this country.

Consistent disaster, that is. LOL

It's well known that AMC should have been called an "assembler" of cars, rather than a manufacturer. Sure as hell didn't design much. However, Teague and the boys at AMC did what they could.

I work with a guy that when he started, he said to me, "Yea, I have an old car". Curiously, I asked what. He said, "An '81 AMC Spirit, remember those???"

Sorry Joe I ll still take my first car over almost anything that came along before or after it.

1970 AMC Rebel Machine was given to me on my 16th birthday by my grandfather.

My brother had a:

68 Javelin with a 290, worked moderately and a Dana 44. It did 12.50.

In 1970, Wally Booth set a Pro Stock record, but the NHRA decided to repeal the cylinder head modification rules for two years, and Chevy dominated again. But they were a decent car.

I used to get laid nightly in my 68 Ambassador, so they can't be all that bad?

LOFL

That was a cool car!

There was a guy in Mt. Vernon, New York. I forgot the name of the shop, but he tunneled the floor board at the transmission hump and put a 427 Chevy in it, and called it the American Rat.

It ran in the 10.0's with a 427/435 and was the talk of the town.

PS There is a guy with one in a garage in Mt Carmel, Pa. that hasn't driven it since 1979. He won't even let anyone touch it. It shines like new!

Yup, I'll believe that. One of the guys I work with was given one of these from another guy we work with.

IT's SO rotted that he fell through the floor when he sat in it and the hood came apart in pieces when opened. It easily hasn't seen the road since 1984!

There were notable exceptions, but on the whole, AMC was crap. Half of the car is from someone else. LOL.

AMC should have been called a "car assembler" rather than a manufacturer since they bought everything from someone else and slapped it together. LOL.

The guy that does my state inspections on my car restored a '68 AMX because it was "different". Something to be said for it.

AMC cars had some good bodies. Such as the AMX/Javelin line. I would like to have a AMX. I tried to buy a barn fresh one this summer. When the owner figured out it could be worth a fortune on Ebay, I lost my chance.

Really AMC always had a good thing going for it. AM-General. You know the part that separated when Chrysler bought AMC. AM-Gen is still more of assembler. They do use alot of GM stuff. Yet the stuff they make wins wars, delivers mail, and just plain looks cool. Charles Yes Im back from Florida.

You mean SS/A or SS/B (Super Stock). The Pro Stock class wasn't started until 1973 or 1974. I grew up with a father who ran SS/A in the late 60's and early 70's. Charles

I think they use GM stuff because they are partly under/owned by GM :). Hummer is a GM line. GM's parts computers have Hummer information in them.

It must have been an SS class:

Because he was kicking Grump's ass and Dyno Don's ass all over the place for two years.

PS Whatever happened to Dyno Don Nicholson? He was a great guy in the pits!

That I don't know. A bit before my time, I wasn't hatched until 1974. Like a good hatchling, I wasn't ready till after race season ended here.

I used to have a picture of my Father head to head at the Tree with Bill Grumpy Jenkins. Taken at National Trails Raceway outside of Columbus Ohio. Grumpy didn't get a win light in that pairing. Charles a 69 Camaro set up like a old SS/A car for the street is what I need.

Now that I remember:

When I had my shop in The Bronx, N.Y. and I was the mechanic for Bob Fraioli. Some black guys from Brooklyn, N.Y. Bought Grump's 70 Camaro. That was turned into a 74 ands sold in 75, that might have been a Pro or SS?

I painted it for them, and they used to street race and kick Scott Schaffiroff's ass and take his money.

I work with a Greek guy from Brooklyn (originally) who grew up around (from the neighborhood) Nunzi Romano of Pontiac fame. He's still driving the 1974 Grand Prix (a bit modded now) that he bought new!

He is said to be a truly old school Pontiac guy. Really knows the ins and outs of the works. He's always had a trick or two up his sleeve from what I know about him.

of all three threads converged into one book. In the strictest sense, the convergent movements did not actually begin after Frank Church's investigation ended. But it was at that point that what had been a right-wing, eccentric, easily dismissed undercurrent, picked up a second wind-so much so that today it is not an eccentric undercurrent at all. It is accepted by a large amount of people. And, most surprisingly, some of its purveyors are even accepted within the confines of the research community.

The three threads are these: 1. That the Kennedys ordered Castro's assassination, despite the verdict of the Church Committee on the CIA's assassination plots. As I noted last issue, the committee report could find no evidence indicating that JFK and RFK authorized the plots on Fidel Castro, Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic, or Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam. 2. That the Kennedys were really "bad boys," in some ways as bad as Chicago mobsters or the "gentleman killers" of the CIA.

Although neither JFK nor RFK was lionized by the main centers of the media while they were alive, because of their early murders, many books and articles were written afterward that presented them in a sympathetic light, usually as liberal icons. This

called Bobby a near-Puritan and then added: The stories about Bobby Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe were just stories. The original story was invented by a so-called journalist, a right-wing zealot who had a history of spinning wild yarns. It spread like wildfire, of course, and J. Edgar Hoover was right there, gleefully fanning the flames. (The Bureau p. 56)

The Capell/Winchell/Hoover triangle sowed the seeds of this slander. But the exposure of this triangle does more. In the Vanity Fair article in which Judith Exner dumped out the latest installment of her continuing saga, Liz Smith revealed that she apprenticed at the feet of Walter Winchell in New York (January

1997 p. 32). This may explain why she took up her mentor's cudgel.

Capell's work is, as Spoto notes in his Afterword, a frightful piece of reactionary paranoia. But there are two details in his pat anti-Kennedy tract that merit mention. First, Capell is probably the first to propagate the idea that RFK was indirectly responsible for his brother's murder. He does this by saying (p.

52), that comm

penmanship. As subsequent facts have shown, this is not actually true. Linda Hart, one of the handwriting analysts hired by ABC (who was slighted on the program) later said that there were indications of "pen drops" in John Kennedy's signature, i.e. someone stopped writing and then started up again, a sure indication of tracing. Also, when I talked to Greg Schreiner, president of a Monroe fan club in Los Angeles, he told me that the moment he saw Monroe's signature, he knew it was not hers. Interestingly, he had met with Hersh this summer. Hersh had told him about the documents and Greg asked to see them. Hersh refused.

Another interesting aspect of the exposure of Hersh's "bombshell" was aired in the New York Times on September 27th. In this story, Bill Carter disclosed that there were doubts expressed about the documents by NBC to Hersh many months ago. Warren Littlefield, an NBC executive, said that Hersh had tried to peddle a documentary to them based on the documents. After NBC sent their experts to look at them in the summer of 1996, he told Hersh that in their opinion the documents were questionable. He said that NBC's lawyers were more specific with Hersh's lawyers. This was backed up by David Samuels' article in The New Yorker of 11/3/97. So Hersh's denials on this point, mentioned by Carter, ring hollow.

What makes the hollowness more palpable is one of the typing inconsistencies in the documents. On the Jennings segment, former FBI expert Jerry Richards showed one of the most blatant errors in the concoction. The typist had
