Besides the flying car, nice model, the burning question is, What was the seaplane ol Jimbo was flying going to Scaramangas island? Cool ride. Inquiring minds need to know. |

Hi Airnutz! Nice flicks! I wanna do that when I grow up. Just doing some close movie flying every once in awhile. Very cool footage. I wonder if the plane was damaged landing without the float on the port side, maybe thats why they didn't have a problem blowing it up. Hi Tom! That was really fakey looking. I hope the James Bond Corporation got alotta cash from AMC for putting their crappy cars all over that movie. They didn't even put the pimped out Javelin in it. Thats the best AMC car made, well, maybe, except the Pacer and Gremlin that is. As for that being the worst Bond flick, not sure about that, besides, who wouldn't want three nipples, I feel deprived. |

Howdy bakatcha' O.P. and Tom ! Glad ya' liked the movies. There is a suggested explanation of the float damage at the parent site of the previous link..Scroll to bottom of the page, "Seabee at the movies". They say the float was damaged prior, which necessitated the "on-step" landing to the beach...good "bad-luck"... www.seabee.info/seabee_movies.htm I don't think it was damaged that bad..I think it was a "planned burn"! The production co. owned the Seabee and shipped it in... Sick puppies!!! There is a 320 hp, LS-1 Corvette powered Seabee in the Classified section of the parent site... www.seabee.info/seabee.htm O.P., ...."the best American Motors had to offer" ??...Suh! I take offense!!! The Greatest AMC product, was the 1968-70 AMX ! The Craig Breedlove debut of the AMX breaking records! This page has a Bonneville sound-byte when it opens...Crank-up the volume and the "surround sound"..(listen for the vinyl-recording "pops and clicks" at the end.)... www.amx-perience.com/arecord.htm The VERY AGGRESSIVE.... AMX Trans-Am 68-72 Racing period, www.amx-perience.com/Trans-AmRacing.htm The Quarter Mile cars did very well also..and the factory had a VERY ambitious options list for the Road Racer and 1/4 Miler Cars. GOOD DAY SIR...(s) !!!! ( read as...appalled indignation ala, Gene Wilder.."Young Frankenstein"! ) |

Thats what it was! I was trying to remember AMX and could only remember Javelin. I remember my dads bud had one, an AMX. He also had a 68 Roadrunner that was a very cool ride. Radical cam, Edelbrock high rise, about a zillion cfm Holley on it. The car shook the street. The glass in the house rattled when it came by. I was 16. He offered to sell it to me for 800 dollars, and would take payments. My dad said no effin way. I was, and am bummed about that. I know it probably would of been wrapped around a tree with me in it, but I think I'll buy my dad an automatic ass kicking machine for himself for turning down that car. |
