Tim O'Neil's 1969 AMC AMX. Will It Rally?

What’s that noise, the transmission?

Goddamit now i need a AMX rallycar

This thing is wild. Makes me more and more eager to find an AMC Spirit to build.

LOL! The dogbox transmission and clutchless shifting! WooHoo!

Team O’Neil - BEST driving course I ever took

these roll off the factory under 3000lbs, what the hell did they put on this thing to make it nearly 4k is beyond me.

lol, that was awesome

Saw this thing at Bristol Forests a few years ago. Easily the coolest thing there

Anyone know what engine is in this thing?

This is exceptionally awesome. I was always a fan of the Japanese rally cars like the Datsuns and this is really hitting that 240Z vibe for me! Love what you guys do

Man you never really see Wyatt out of his comfort zone, but this AMX really did it lol. Awesome video, y’all are the best!

Looks like surprisingly stiff suspension for a rally car. Also just a hilarious and cool idea for a build.

For a minute from the I’m car camera it sounded like a ev because of the gearbox

Um. 3700 lbs isn’t right Sure u have scales but that’s way too much. Did u fill things with lead

Rally that F350 flatbed that was in the background. Rally your spouse’s car. WE WANNA KNOW IF IT’LL RALLY!!!!

Sick

WOW!!!!!!! I am so impressed! Best video I have seen for a long time. I am a AMC fan from Norway and own a 69 AMX. The car looks really good as a rally car and that you still have the AMC engine is just great!

Man, if that's not some Dukes of Hazard, NASCAR, moonshine running right there.... So awesome!

what brand and size tires are on it ? fun video old cars are always more fun

This is the sht I live for. Excellent to finally see this car on Will It Rally!

You need to actually weight that car just because its an older muscle doesnt mean its 4,000 lbs with driver.

Whats been done to the suspension to have it land like it did (beginning of vid)

Can you do a Acura TL love to see one of those rally

That car is a mad ass badger

You can't get cooler than an AMX on gravel/snow/mud! What a cool ride.

That looks hella fun. :)

THANKS for the AMC V-8 AMX Content

You can really tell the concentration by how much slower he's talking than normal

Why not use an AMC Eagle???

This car is SUPER cool but how do you add SEVEN hundred pounds to an AMX? Weren't they about 3000 stock?

Next up - a Ford or Chevy rwd cargo van?

these car were the kings of trans-am back in the day.

I would have chosen a 1983 AMC Spirit hatchback... (lighter weight/awd)

Please come back to over mountain rally in Bristol love this car still trying to talk the wife into doing this in the firebird

How can that car weigh more than my stock 69 AMX ????

Hey, we all know American muscle cars can rally, we watched the Dukes of Hazzard rally a Dodge Charger for years - some say they were the first and only Dodge factory WRC team 😉😅

This thing is badasss

You gotta try a 2000 dodge Durango I tell you they’re magic in vehicle form 🙏

Ahhh America. Land of the free. Only country where sometimes it takes 5 litres to make 143 hp

Needs an aluminum big cube V6, a rear-CV transaxle(Corvette layout), and de-dion rear suspension. Making it lighter and improving the weight balance should help with braking quite a bit. The modern 4.3 (called the LV3) if you build it as David Vizard builds his engines should be able to put down over 370hp at the tire and that engine weighs roughly 75%-80% what an all aluminum LS does, so under (well under, even) 400 pounds fully dressed, which is a far cry from the presumably 520+ pound iron V8 this car has, now.

Can you find a amc eagle to rally?

this might be one of the coolest cars ive ever seen

I really feel like this channel is close to the tipping point of really blowing up

As a European who's never seen this car before, it jusat makes me think of Todd from Beavis & Butthead

When I get the V8 Capri done I’ll bring it over to you and see how it does versus the V6 Capri. It’s the same but with a V8 and a tremec 5 spd. I’ll let you know Wyatt when it’s done. Putz

Such a sweet car. AMC made some badass cars

I bet the AMC Eagle Sx4 would destroy in Rally

Very cool!
