Larry Weymouth kept tabs on this SS AMX, and knew the original owner/racer family had it, and bought it in 2011.
When AMC announced its ’69 AMX SS, Bill Rodekopf wrote a check for $5,011.08, dealer cost, for a purpose-built drag car engineered to compete in Super Stock.
On his first pass off the trailer that car went 11 flat at 128 mph with a cam and slicks. The engine was a 12.3 to 1 compression with a port and polish, Edelbrock intake, Holley 4 barrel, and Mallory ignition. It won a Wally in 1977.
The most famous were Pete's Patriot and the Drag On Lady.
This one was stored in a limestone cave from 1978 to 1994 when it was pulled out to race
Ozark Mountain Super Shifters. The rules were simple. The car had to be clutch-launched and manually shifted, and have no electronics, delay boxes, or power-adders. The AMX, pretty much unchanged since the early ’70s, fit perfectly.
He installed a battery, changed plugs, cranked the motor, ran a compression test, rebuilt the Holleys, poured in some Sunoco racing gas, and turned on the fuel pump, and the 390 fired up. He loaded the AMX on the trailer and drove to St. Louis for the race. First pass was a 10.89 at 123 mph.
