We are currently an all male staff at MotoBullet, and the single ones of us all behave just enough above cavemen that almost we’re almost ready for a Tim Allen comedy routine. We currently spend our evenings, weekends, and lunch hours searching the car shows, bars (especially on lunch breaks) and swap meets for the kind of woman who would want this pink 1969 AMC AMX.
People familiar with the history of AMC or
Playboy Magazine may think this could be the car given to the 1968 Playmate of the Year. It is not. The story is that a divorced schoolteacher from Wisconsin wanted a pink AMX, and the factory still had the color available for this special order after finishing the Playboy car.
But just because this car doesn’t have a link to easy naked goodness doesn’t mean we will discriminate. We would just be happy with the kind of woman who can appreciate the 315 hp 390 cubic inch V8. She embraces the rarity of the AMC, and she knows that it may mean a little extra work to keep everything running right (most women would consider out staff “projects” as well.)
So why does this car get a DWB? It is because any woman reading this, and still thinks this is a good idea, better have had the bartender take her keys away many Jello shots ago. Remember, there is no back seat in the original AMX. This means you’ll have to come back to our place. And because most of us are sort of floating in a newsman/angry tech head/car guy ether, “our place” usually means our parent’s basement. Anyone who is still interested must be drunk by now.
So if you’re plastered enough to want this AMX, and don’t mind a horde cay guys standing outside your house holding up iPods blaring Peter Gabriel music (yup, we think anything that happened in an 80s movie is romantic,) then this is your car. Just point, click, and drink.
By the way, remember not to rev the AMX’s engine when you come over later…we don’t want to wake up mom.
