The last Hurst SS AMX comes to light after decades in a shipping container

Ordered new by an Anchorage dealership, Sunset AMC, it was drag raced by the dealership for 1969-1970, then local drag racer Gary Clark who had seen it racing at the nearby Polar Raceway (now Alaska Raceway Park) in Palmer, Alaska, about 40 miles northeast of Anchorage saw the car in the service bay of the dealership in late 1971

"I asked Ivan Felton Jr. if I could purchase it,” says Clark. “It was not for sale until Ivan’s father overheard the conversation and told me I could buy it, but it was only for sale if I paid the full sticker on the car, $6,303.”

Gary sold the car in 1976 to friend when he moved out of Alaska, who then raced it for a couple years and then started to tub the rear.

The project was left unfinished and put into a shipping container in the late 1970s. And there it would stay for about three decades, known to just a few people deep within the AMC community, who called it the “container car.”

In 2005, Clark traded a restored 1969 AMX to that friend to get the Hurst SS AMX back. Thus the car had had just three owners, the dealership, Clark (twice), and his friend.

Then Dan Curtis, owner of AZ AMC Restorations in Peoria, Arizona (amcmusclecars.com),
learned of the car in 2008 and let Clark know that if he ever wanted to sell it, he wanted to buy it.

Finally in April 2019, they made a deal, and now the car will finally get restored
