Re: AMC had there Super car too ( I guess )

I think the " ARTICLE " that was written made it clear that AMC would not or could not give a official permission ( wink wink ) but let the dealer do the dirty work and sent 30 401's to Randall. I'm sure AMC was watching. By 73 things were already changing ( comp ratio, HP, smog ). So that 401 thing was dead. 442, no where does it say they were ordered from AMC ( COPO ) type but Dealer installed. In any case pretty cool cars. Comparing a Buick to a Gremlin might be unfair. Perhaps a Vega would be better. Both had poor build quality.

There's nothing clear about it at all - stating mentioning "official permission" implies a factory connection, when there probably was not any. Having a factory special in 1972 was not something that made any sense, and we know from Chevrolet's example that they pretty much got out of the Supercar business by 1971.
