Temecula Rod Run, interesting and beautiful stuff I found

Held in "Old Town" Temecula, and the streets are blocked off for the day. If your city, like San Diego, was founded a long time ago it might have a similar tourist area of historic preservation that surrounds the old pioneers businesses... Temecula does too, and it makes for nice backgrounds for photographing the old cars

That woody really caught a lot of attention

I love before and afters... hard to look at the above "as found" and think it's a candidate for a full restoration

Custom AMX's, the Breedlove AMX 600, and the Barris El Toro

dream a little dream; what might have been... the AMX 2 and the AMX 3

get over to the San Diego Auto Museum in Balboa park to see the only one on public display

I didn't know there had been so many rumble seat pony cars

AMX concept I'm glad that didn't work out

The AMX 3 is back! It's back at the SD Auto Museum

It's been gone for a couple of years now... get in to see it while it's there. If you're uncertain what an AMX-3 is, it was a prototype that wound up to be more expensive than the Corvette, so AMC scrapped the idea. The engine was a 390 mid engine mount, the design was from Dick Teague, and they made about 6 or so in Turin Italy with Bizzarini, scrapped a couple after shutting down the project, but Dick kept 2, and one was buried in a private garage and never seen again.
