2nd annual Australian AMC Rambler show Albury 2015

This is my poor old girl on the left. I could fill a whole thread with some stories about this car (which I might do one day) It is a black 1970 Australian assembled Hornet built 7/1970 and is #103 (3rd earliest so far on Wayne William Australian Hornet register) I bought it in 1989. Done it up with my dad and put a Ford Cleveland in it. Sold it in about 1992/3. Bought it back in about 93/94 and sold it again in 94. I think I thought about that car everyday for 10 years so I tracked it down again in 2004 but it is in very poor condition now awaiting my time and money. That is young Clancy next to his original 70 Hornet also at the show. Amazingly this is the only photo I know of of my "Whor-net" at the show. It is still a running/driving car just waiting for the right time to terrorise the roads again .

It was great to see this car as it is a mostly original 1970 Hornet still in it's everyday use working clothes. Clancy, the owner, was a great bloke to chat too and had never met anyone else with a Hornet so was wrapped to meet 6 other owners there on the day plus Wayne Williams who is doing the Australian Hornet register. Clancy's Hornet is a 12/70 build and #701. It is the original Safety Wattle yellow and 232ci 6 cylinder. A big thanks for bringing this unrestored Hornet up   

This was a tough looking Australian Hornet built in 12/70 and is #611 and now run's a 360ci and Torqueflite. The 7 Hornet's looked awesome in a row. The spotlight for the 3rd annual show is on the Hornet's here's hoping to break the record of 21 in the one spot 

This car is amazing and regarded as one of the most original 1970 Australian AMC Javelin's around. It runs it's original 390ci an amazingly is #46 one car under David and Linda Lambs #47. If you ever want to know what an original Australian Javelin looks like then viewing this car is a must and can be seen at Clem's museum in Adelaide along with many other AMC/Ramblers, Hudson's and Chrylsers. If I am allowed I would say this is my pick

 

One of the highlights of the show for me was meeting Doug and Faye Kinney from New Zealand (pictured). As many of you may already know they own 5 AMX's (including the Australian #2 and #15) and 2 Javelin's. They brought over a photo album with AMX's in the 'Big Bad' colours plus all the others. What a great couple and I think they enjoyed their time at the show. We had 5 javelin's and 2 AMX's at the show but unfortunatly all the Australian AMX's that Doug was hoping to view were a no show but I think Doug and Faye still had a great time meeting all the other AMC/Rambler owners and enjoying the vibe of the town over the course of the weekend ie the cruising on the saturday night around Wodonga Place etc. Doug mentioned there was a cyclone heading towards where his cars are kept in NZ so here's hoping they all remained safe and snug in their garage to rumble another day. It was a real pleasure having Doug and Faye at the show  Here they are pictured with Alan Briggs 69AMX and John carson's 68 just to the right.
