Insanity Strikes! (73 Ambo) Pictures Added

LOL...that's pretty good, Smoke!

Castillion grey would look really good, particularly with some type of black accent like what Ray Hatcher did on his car.

_ I love the storys of this cars history.and the have somebody in the family that cares so much about it is amazeing,my dad had one and it was a very special car.I enjoyed working on it with my dad and older brother.sad to say I lost my mom and dad and older brother in the last 4 years.and we did talk about building another ambo or two,I am also wanting to now build one with my 7 year old son.but also write a story about the hole build and story of the unmarked un none legendary interceptor witch was a unknown well keep secret for a select few police departments who orderd them,they where only known as the highspeed high pursuit Interceptors,that could not only chase down anything on the road but out accelerate and over power the big bad musclecars of the time.they where order just like the black and white ambos and matadors marked police cars but then there 401 motors where beefed up with what was only known as the red X cams and they where the unmarked police interceptors.there is even a legendary story about a new mexico police department borrowing one from a texas high patrol back in the 70s witch was a few hundred miles away and some guys in texas had shot and killed a texas cop and then where being chased hundreds of miles in to NM and they where in some kind of soup up camero where then an off duty patrol man in NM On his way home heard the chase on his radio called from his drive at home and took joined the chase except it was about 6o miles from where he lived.he not only chased them down but forced them off the road and shot and killed the driver but also arrested the passenger who was the shooter ,14 mins was all it took.the investagation concluded the the officer in his borrowed 72 interceptor hit speeds of 17o ,the cop who was shot in texas was from the station the car was borrowed from.

When Matt and I get bored, we try to figure out interesting paint combos for the Ambo.  It looks like Foose isn't going to take us up on the offer to let him Overhaul the car....drat.  i think he could have had something pretty unique to work on. Anyway...we've sort of decided the original color - Pewter Silver - works best - but we would add a black vinyl (or, better - crinkle paint) top. I found a picture of a beautiful copper tan one from a Good Guys show (does it belong to anyone here?), removed a bunch of people and cars from the background, added the orignal blue and gold CA plate, and tweaked the color to a pewter shade, then a blue metallic, and finally, a steel blue metallic. How does the big girl look? Maybe wire wheels will be the next Photoshop addition. I think I'll see what Zio, the master of Photochopping, can do..
