TEXAS TAKEOVER

This color film, documenting the record-breaking performance of Craig Breedlove and the American Motors AMX, has been completely restored from the original neg. (This is it folks! It doesn’t get any better than this.) We spent hours at one of the top post houses in Hollywood restoring this historic film. If you are an AMC fan, this collector-quality dvd is a must. Craig’s co-driver on this run was his wife, Lee Breedlove. On February 4, 1968, Breedlove set a new 24-hour world record stock car endurance run of 3378 miles, averaging over 140 MPH, running day and night–a fine testament to the engineering and durability of the new AMX!

TRANS AM COUNTDOWN

This film has not been seen since 1970, a promo film made for the AMC Javelin team focusing on a young Mark Donohue and Rodger Penske–lots of unseen track footage! On track you will see an unusual combination of cars running together in practice like Mark’s Javelin being passed by a Porsche 917 and the Javelin passing some really exotic cars like Ferrari’s Trans Am. Countdown was transfeRred directly from the 16mm original negative. It looks like it was shot yesterday.

JAVELIN BREED

The story of the 1968 Trans-Am Racing Series season, with the AMC drivers George Follmer and Peter Revson and crew chief Ronnie Kaplan. This was AMC’s first try into the racing field and they were very impressive, finishing every race. Over 20 minutes of color footage showing the AMC vs. Mustang duels. Lots of race coverage and shots of many other cars of the era.
