BG – My first new car , after I graduated and was a teaching assistant for freshman engineers

Posted by Alex Valdor @ 9:24 on December 8, 2019  

A 1968 AMX 390 , American Motors 2 seater , a Javelin with a foot cut out of it behind the doors , essentially .

And the engine , five years later after I built it into screamer , myself – it would do 70 mph in first gear , and theoretically 175 in 4th , but of course that was aerodynamically impossible . I took it to the drag strip once , and was still in 3rd at the end of the quarter mile at close to 115 mph . They gave my opponent a two second head start , and I still won the match . I kept the car for 20 years and still regret selling it .
