First AMC Photos

Last week we photographed our first AMC products for our new book, The Complete Book of AMC Cars. Thanks to long-time AMC enthusiasts Mike Spangler and Cheryl Samuel we were able to photograph two one-of-a-kind prototypes, the 1971 AMX concept and the 1974 Gremlin XP concept. We also shot their 1962 Rambler 400 convertible and 1983 Renault Le Car (Renault was the majority owner of AMC). Thank you again Mike and Cheryl!

1971 Chevrolet Corvette ZR2 Convertible Auction Analysis

You don’t see one of these every day. Only 12 were built, and just two were convertibles. These were factory-built race cars with LS6 454 V8 power. The legendary 1967-69 L88 Corvettes the ZR2 replaced are more plentiful and better known, and generally sell for much more. Plus this one is factory original down to the tires, has all dealer documentation, and even has the original Protect-O-Plate warranty card. Selling for $962,500 this was right on the money, although I would have like to see it cross seven figures.
