  It looks like I'll get to go to Lufkin also.  I will be driving from near Monroe Louisiana and I am bringing a pickup truck load of good old AMC parts to sell.  I need some space in my shop so I hope some of you bring a vehicle that will carry some of this stuff.  Here is some of what I have to bring;

 

Two 727 transmissions for rebuilding.

One 904 (or 998, I forgot) low mileage original that does not need rebuilding with converter.

AMC 20 rear end for racing with extra inboard spring perches, 4.10 gears, and long studs.

'70 360 4V stock intake and carburetor complete.

New, unused Jeep headers.

Complete '69 Javelin tilt steering column with auto shifter in column.

Early Javelin automatic console.

Early Javelin grill missing a couple of mounts.

Late model Javelin stock spoiler.

'69 American front right fender with no rust or dents.

 

Wow, it's been almost a week now and I'm still pumped (and a little tired ; ) after our hugely successful AMC meet.  We did have several would be participants that had to cancel and a few that couldn't make it due to one thing or another at the last minute.  Hopefully, next year they will be able join us for another great and even more successful AMC day here in Lufkin.  It was great to meet so many new friends, reacquaint with ones we've met before and share the day with everyone.  We wound up with a great showing of 15 cars (no, not including the '70 Javelin project in the garage & I didn't have my '74 War Wagoneer there either).  In attendance we had: 3 Gremlins ('72, '77 & '78), 1 '76 Hornet Sportabout (w/360), 2 Spirits ('80 & '81 I believe), 1 '70 Rebel Machine, 4 Javelins ('71, 2-'72s, '74), 2 Jeep CJ7s ('78 Levi's w/401, '87) & last but certainly not least, 2 Willys Forward Control Jeeps (1 '57 FC-170 Willys tour wagon Jeep (1 of 4 built) and 1 '58(?) FC-150), as well as 2 AMC parts vendors who made some sales.  It was a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that everyone enjoyed and all were talking about attending next year well before the day was over.  We had lots of folks from the community stopping in to check out the cars and even some stopping off the street to buy parts.  We still had 8 cars present by 6:00 p.m. and still had people pulling in to look at the cars.  We finally wrapped it up and formed a 4 car AMC cruise to a restaurant for dinner about 8:15 that evening. 

First though, here is a link that Peter has up on the AMC Club of Houston site:

The panoramic shot at the bottom of the club page is minus 1 Jeep CJ, the 2 Willys FC Jeeps and 1 Gremlin, as they had all had to leave by that time, but can be seen in other shots from the link.

 

Here is a video of the '57 Willys FC-170 tour wagon Jeep heading out with a load of folks

 

Here is a pan video of the field of cars just after the FC Tour Jeep left

 

Here's that FC-170 loaded and headed out

 

Here is shot down one side of the cars, minus the Gremlin on the far end that had to leave by this point

 

A shot of the opposite side minus a CJ and the two FCs that had already had to leave

 

I'll post more pics as I get them, hope you enjoy these for now.
