This is some very sad
news. Noted AMC aficionado, author and historian Larry G. Mitchell
passed away Sept. 22nd near Flagstaff, AZ. He and his wife were
involved in a very bad rollover car crash that ejected Larry from the
car. His wife Linda has sustained injuries but is expected to recover. Hopefully she has a quick recovery. Deepest condolences go out to
Linda, the Mitchell family, and any friends or fans who knew Larry or
his work. The AMC world has lost an absolute treasure. Larry will always
live on in our hearts and be remembered for his kind heart and the
amazing AMC books he gave us. I never got a chance to meet him, but love his books and have heard nothing but good things from many AMCers. A monumental loss indeed... Rest in Peace Larry.

Very sorry to see this. Larry was a great AMCer and an asset to the hobby. If his stepson Chad, is a member here, please convey our sincere sympathy to your mom-from the whole AMC hobby.

This indeed is tragic news.
Larry definitely helped spearhead many things in the AMC car hobby, through his drive, spirit and talents. My heart felt sympathies to Linda, surviving family and friends alike. Praying for Lindas recovery as well. The hobby lost a giant, whose shoes will likely not be filled again. Farwell friend.... Rich and Nancy Corsello |

The accident occurred in Flagstaff, Az. Larry and Linda are very dear friends and this is a terrible loss. I just spoke to Gary Carlson, one of Larry's lifelong friends and a co founder with Larry of CACI. It's my understanding that Linda is in a hospital in Flagstaff and may not be conscious. I'll post more information as it becomes known.
