Plenty of electronic data about the AMACs

One of the nicest things with the AMAC is the AMAC support system. David and Ted Arken have been building and racing AMACs since they first came out in 1990. They provide all sorts of technical advice, parts, innovations, data, etc to all the AMAC drivers. Then there is George Dean with the answers to any engine question you might ever have.

I don't know what this car has as a starting point for a chassis but it seems to be a very nicely prepared car. So here's a bump for the owner. I'd love to see the car with the bodywork off. According to additional comments it was a well designed/built car.

Prior to the invention of the Stohr, the AMAC was a very serious front runner in D/SR. Yes they look marvelous. They are also a genuine race car built down in California. As I recall, the builder had a day job and would take orders then, patch through a bunch of them.

If you're in to the D/SR thing, the AMac is the car Nancy James drove to many lap records and the car she was driving before going to Spa to do test driving in a Radical.

I think you can still get a new one. They are still being built and there's a contact at the bottom of the page if interested. If not, David and Ted Arken are mentioned in the add above. Ted was a big help to me when I was considering buying an AMAC kit.

Back in the 1990's, there was a guy who towed up from California every year with a white AMAC one of the true old gentlemen racers from SCCA but I don't think he does it any more.

It's an AMAC. I drove it with the 600 turbo. Quite the ride.

The AMAC is a great Regional car and excellent for a "new" driver to learn on. If you look at What David Arken did in the P2 Runoffs a couple years ago, then you will see that it also can be a National contender as well. David is always working on improvements.

This car has been well taken care of by both its owners. Dick Boggs never drove it in the rain. Homologated in 1998, it is the newest design (AM7). Never been wrecked.

[rickb99]

That is one of Dick Boggs old cars??? Wow, cool. I watched him race that around here for a number of years. I don't recall it ever being a solid red livery though.

It's an AMAC. I drove it with the 600 turbo. Quite the ride.

And I did too! Really loved that little turbo turning to 14K and the waste gate popping open - what a glorious sound! Previously this car had an older kawasaki zx11 turbo producing north of 250Hp. It had a gps indicated top speed of at least 150 Mph with the zx11 turbo, and I think close to that top speed with the 600 turbo.

Bob Fox is the gentleman referred to that goes north each year. Scheduling problems kept him from going this year.

If you wanted a new one I have the jigs for the bulkheads and some already welded bulkheads to build a chassis (or repair one, which I've done in the past). Building a complete car would cost at least double the asking price of this car so I don't really see that happening again except in extreme circumstances. I worked at Amac and built most of this car, and I have two A-Macs myself, an AM6 I built new in 1994, and the 2005 AM7 that Jay Boggs built with his Dad that I recently put back on track after a long hiatus.

Spare fabricated suspension pieces are still readily available through my brother David or myself. These are really robust cars and with a good setup are still very fast. The San Francisco Region has a regional DSR class and these chassis continue to win in those events.

If any potential buyer had questions that Craig couldn't answer feel free to PM me.

Thanx Ted. I saw your picture in the other Boggs AMAC. I almost bought that car but it had been sold by the time I talked with Dick.

The red color is the way it came from the "factory". I have some pictures of the build.

The car has never been wrecked.

[10rmotor]

Its never been painted, the red color is from the gel coat.

I guess it was finally meant to be that I got Jays car. He was a good friend of mine and I kept track of it every time it sold. Finally I was able to buy it when it came up for sale two years ago.

[farrout]

I have to be in Atlanta on July 16 near the Airport. Could deliver the AMAC there.

Bump for a price reduction

Bump. Open to offers.

Unable to take a trade simply because I do not have the garage space.
