Talking check out my AMX!!!!!!

to answer your first question, this is obviously not an AMC product you are looking at, rather the vintage 60's AMX "swift hornet" bike i saved from the trash, complete with banana seat, big handlebars, springer front suspention, chrome fenders, and rear tire "slick" after much time with a steel wool pad & cleaning this is what i got...

















pretty sweet, eh?

i took it around the block a couple of times, lol. idk how anyone rode those things, i guess me being 6'2'' mighta had something to do with it, lol. i gave it to my dads friend as a sorta "thank you", scince hees hooked me up really good over the last couple of years, he sold me a complete buick power disc brake front setup, along with a factory 8 trac player he found for $100.... the brake setup is worth $500 + alone.... plus a refurbished buick factory radio for $40, 1 year only, only in the skylark, a real pita to find, & good ones go for $200 + oh, he sold me a set of '65 bucket seats for the buick, along with a center console for an automatic setup for another $100.... and he gave me a front & rear preformance swaybars for it, with new buchings
and this is the same guy who got me into that junkyard i posted.... so.... i figure he deserves it i gave him the bike, some old carbs i had ( for some kind of multiple carb setup) and a couple of 60's radios i had....

Very cool! Reminds me of the old Schwinn bikes like the Lemon Peeler and Apple Crate.
