AMC vs The World: How Two 1979 AMC Spirits Won Class At The 24 hours of The 'Ring
This is the story of how a 1979 AMC AMX won its class at the 1979 24 Hours of the Nurburgring. Not only that, how it was done with two hastily built cars, a group of six drivers that included a Hollywood star, and how they did it all on street tires.
Oh, they also had a one armed German driving instructor. Not all publicity stunts are made the same and this video will be proof of that. In this case, Gary Pace of BFG had a big idea and teamed up with just the right people to execute it. Not only that, they had an ace up their sleeve which has gone largely ignored or simply not reported to this point in history.
The first American team to ever compere at the 24 Hours of The 'Ring battled hard for 24 hours against the elements, exhaustion, their cars...and the competition? Watch and find out why that's the ultimate question
