All going well we should have some exclusive commemorative dash plaques for all AMC's that are at the show as a memento of what may well be the biggest AMC show there has been in Australia
Also there is a couple of owners who are in the process of organising an AMC dinner on the saturday night possibly at the local SS&A club which has ample parking and a relaxed atmosphere for everyone to get together for a chat. I will put up an update as soon as I know more. At this stage we have 35 cars officially booked in, or have said definately coming, with another 9 I have talked to that are a maybe depending on car and personal health outcomes, and 3 have said no and I still have another 25 to contact over next week or so that had mentioned over the last year that they were going to attend On top of this I have heard of a couple of other cars that are not on my list Breakdown of the 35 15 Javelin/AMX's 6 Hornets 3 Matador X coupes 2 Matador sedans 2 Ambassodorre 1 Nash 1 Rebel 1 AM General Hummer 1 Classic 1 owner spoilt for choice with some amazing cars but could be Concorde AMX or a Javelin 1 Jeep Plus 9 maybe's (3 Hornets, 2 American, 1 AMX, 1 Matador X, 1 Pacer X, 1 Classic Ute 3 NO's (3 Horrnets) 25 I still have to chase up that have previously said they were coming (5 Javelins, 4 Hornets, 5Classics, 3 Jeeps, 2 Americans, 1 Ambassador, 1 Rebel, 1 Nash, 1 Hudson Hornet, 1 Matador, 1 AMX Plus Allan Briggs has been doing an awesome job chasing up some Javelin and AMX's that havnt been seen for awhile so hopefully the owners get them out for a run and or finish them and are able to enjoy a relaxing weekend away here in Albury/Wodonga. Sadly no Gremlins, Marlins, Spirits, 50's or early 60's AM cars, or AMC Eagles on the radar at all. I was trying to get the yellow Gremlin (Gizmoe) down again but it wasnt running the last time I talked to the owner. If anyone knows of any of these types of cars please encourage the owners to bring them no matter what condition they are in. Some more Nash's and Hudsons would be great too but owners seem hesitant to be involved for some reason? Edited by 70Hornet - Feb/08/2018 at 7:58am |

There is a facebook site run by the local Chrysler club that organises Chryslers on the Murray. It will have general updates for the show as we go along
I just got them to put up the AMC poster and some info. Have a look and put a comment or like and share it onto other AMC owners if you get a chance https://www.facebook.com/pg/chryslersonthemurrayofficial/posts/

2018 5th Australian annual AMC/Rambler show itinerary
Below is a basic itinerary of the weekend. You can choose to do all of the below or none of the below and just relax or cruise around and explore the local area at your leisure and then all congregate at the show on the Sunday. Friday 16th March 9am Scrutineering at driving event at Logic Centre racetrack (I am not sure if any AMC's are entered yet. I think John Carson with his AMX track weapon may be?) 10am Lap Sprints begin 1pm Go to Whoa 6pm-8pm-ish Early check-in at the show venue (food and drinks available) This is a show within itself with about 300 cars coming and going for 2 to 3 hours) There is plenty of street cruising after this but the main cruising night is the saturday night Saturday 17th March 8am gates open for our AMC's 9am Judging begins and goes until 1pm 1pm Check in on the Saturday closes but ask for me if you rock up later 2pm Lots of cars leave for a cruise to the old Ettamogah pub with a photo shoot of the Spotlight Chryslers AND a Javelin/AMX photo shoot on the grass oval behind pub for those that want to. We will also photo them all together (javelin/AMX's and all other AMC's) on the Sunday lined in a row up but them oval shots are done really well so will pay to be out there if you want your Javelin/AMX included in their own special 50th anniversary photo 4pm Supercruise for those that want to take in the local area ie Hume dam etc which ends at the SS&A club ??pm An AMC dinner is being organised by a couple of AMC car owners to be held possibly at the SS&A club. More details as they come to hand but would be a great relaxed atmosphere to hang around and have a chat Dusk til late- main street cruising. The Wodonga Place street is lined with spectators (very family freindly atmosphere) and the streets full of cars of all persuasions so lets show them what we have got AMC in American Graffiti style We have visitors from WA, NZ etc that will be without cars who would love to cruise around in your AMC if you have some spare seats You might be able to work out pick up points during the saturday or they could just hail you down at the Wodonga place traffic lights and jump in for a lap or two then onto the next AMC for some more laps in true American Graffiti style Sunday 18th March 7.30am Gates open to bring your cars in for what looks like will be the largest ever gathering of Javelin/AMX's AND AMC's overall EVER in Australia 11am Check in closes but please get the gate keepers to contact me if you are later then this 2pm Trophy presentation 5pm gates locked and show over for another year Lots of people hang around until the monday. Which is a great idea to just sit and relax and let the whole weekend sink in as an awesome enduring memory I will update above if any info comes to hand but that is the basic layout. Any questions please ask. And feel free to post this info on other sites, emails etc Edited by 70Hornet - Feb/10/2018 at 4:28pm |

Hi everyone. Just some fun info
I cant wait to rummage through Steve's NOS AMC parts again but he is also bringing a big collection of AMC toys and models for sale too. This stuff will sell like hotcakes Also Steve Fripp from Rambler Spares is providing special commemorative dash plaques for ALL AMC vehicles that roll through the gate on the weekend. This will be a lasting souvenir to remember the 50th anniversary javelin/AMX get together that is shaping to be the largest AMC gathering ever in Australia. Rambler Spares will also be providing a handful of trophies that all AMC's will be in the running for whether they entered for a trophy or not. If you tick the judging box on the entry form then you are in the running for "Best AMC/Rambler' at the show and second and third. But all AMC's will be in the running for #Best 50th anniversary Javelin/AMX, #Best original AMC, #Best Modified AMC, Longest distance award, #Crowd fave/peoples choice. Steve can be contacted on 0477090874. Steve has been near run off his feet finding parts for owners trying to get their cars ready for the show. If you need anything no matter how big or small it is worth asking because if he doesnt have it he may know where to find it. Please remember Steve does have a day job so be patient if he is unable to ring you back the same day. Also Steve can bring down any parts you wish to purchase or even just to inspect before you buy. And for those thinking of bringing kids FREE entry for under 16 FREE kids rides FREE face painting BOTH DAYS, ALL DAY, FREE Which is great for keeping the kids amused if you bring them Edited by 70Hornet - Feb/13/2018 at 3:12pm |

Thanks Jason, you have been doing an amazing job and it's great to see others like the Fripp Brothers and Allan Briggs helping out just to name a few. I haven't spoken to Garry yet as I'm sure he's got lots going on just planning the trip down from Qld so I am putting my hand up to be the contact for the AMC Dinner. So... I already have a few takers but need a fair idea of numbers before I make a booking. Either respond here or email me at diannewilson@optusnet.com.au if you would like to join us on the Saturday night :-) or call me on 0434370045.

The dinner will be a great time for all to catch up. Great stuff
The limited commemorative dash plaques have been ordered and will look great. These will be handed out as you drive your car in over the course of the weekend. These are being supplied by Steve Fripp from Rambler Spares and are being produced by a trophy mob here in Albury. Steve has also put up 5 other trophies just for us AMC's. #Longest distance, #Best original, #Best modified, #Crowd favourite/Peoples choice, and #Best 50th anniversary Javelin/AMX Along with the plaque you will be handed a little info sheet for the weekend as you drive in. This will have the itinerary on it. Some contact numbers. ie my number and some visitors numbers who would like some lifts around town and a seat for the cruise nights. And any other info I think people would like to know to help them along for the weekend away here in Albury/Wodonga including a specific Javelin/AMX photo shoot out at Ettamogah on the saturday they are doing for us. Because not all Javelin/AMX's are roadworthy and or wont be here on the saturday an item that will be added to the itinerary for the the sunday will be a "bonnets down" photo shoot for the Javelin/AMX's. We are going to have one full row of about 22 Javelin/AMX's which truly will be a sight to behold and will look great all in a row with the bonnets down for about half hour for everyone to get some top photo shots of what will be a once in a lifetime opportunity. The time for this will be on the info flyer we hand out but will probably be about 11am-ish at this stage. Just for half hour then everyone can put there bonnets back up. 4 weeks to go!
