Wow, do we have something special here! I'm in the business and had
to do my homework on this one! Once I did, I realized what a rare
gem it is. This is what we can prove by the codes: it left the
factory as a Big Bad Blue, SST, 390, 4-speed with the Go Pack and
black corduroy interior. This one also has the Mark Donahue package
which includes the front and rear spoilers (with his signature on
it), side stripes, ram air hood, black out grills, and the Go Pack.
As if it couldn't get any cooler, this car also has the dealer
installed Sidewinder exhaust. It has been ground up restored,
finished 2008. It was given a few performance upgrades like 4 wheel
disc and some go fast parts on the motor. It comes with a binder of
restoration documentation.
EXTERIOR: It is fully dressed in scoops, spoilers and stripes! The
body is very straight and solid. It features a ram air hood,
dovetail trunk spoiler, a roof spoiler and chin spoiler. Repainted
it's original Big Bad Blue color. Overall, it presents itself very
nicely. Correct decal stripes on the sides. The bumpers, door
handles, stainless trim is excellent. The grills and taillights are
excellent. Great sounding side winder exhaust, the heat shields are
in excellent shape. Reproduction Magnum wheels with BFG tires.
INTERIOR: It was born with black corduroy. The upholstery is all
redone, the cushions are firm. This one also has the buddy seat
armrest. New AMARK restored dash. It has a full set of factory
gauges including a tachometer, vacuum gauge, and clock. Restored
wood rim steering wheel on a tilt column. It also has a rear
defogger. Carpet and headliner were replaced.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 401 was the biggest, strongest engine AMC
ever had to offer. With a few enhancements this one is pushing 400
hp. We have the rebuild specs. It was bored and balanced. It has
some oiling mods, a forged crank and pistons, reworked rods, a Cam
Motion cam, roller timing set. All the bearings, cam, lifters, push
rods, rockers, springs, stainless valves etc. The heads were ported
and blueprinted. It has a polished intake, dual feed Holley carb,
MSD ignition and a set of headers. It features power steering and
brakes. Every component looks proper and clean. The metal is
painted glossy. It has many chromed parts.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jamb are glossy. Inside
is solid metal with a neat spatter finish.
UNDERSIDE: The front end steering and suspension has been
completely apart and rebuilt. Upgraded quick ratio steering box.
The rear suspension has also been rebuilt; new springs, bushings,
shocks and upgraded swaybar. The brake system has been upgraded
with disc at all four wheels, stainless lines. E-brake is hooked
up. Looking up at the motor it is very clean, it has a high torque
starter. Correctly dated T10 4-speed trans, Hurst shifter. It has
posi rear end. The frame rails are rock solid. The floors have had
some repair and have been cleaned up and painted black.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and replaced fuel sending unit and
oil sending unit.
This is a cool car. It checks so many boxes, you will not find
another like it! I'm very intrigued by it and it takes a lot to
impress me. I also feel this was a show car going back many years
because of all the chromed parts. From the trunk latch to the
t-handle shifter to the radiator supports and so much more.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
