neohic Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 We’ve seen the last AMC dealership closing recently. Next in line is the original headquarters that was used build in 1926 and used through 1975. Sad to see old buildings crumble but I’m sure the original engineers would be proud to see their products still on the roads. https://www.thedrive.com/news/43674/amcs-hq-will-be-demolished-to-erase-ruin-porn-from-detroit-says-mayor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ωhm Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Hired in on the Road Stimulator Dyno (LABECO) for mileage accumulation needed for our certification vehicles. AMC also had no test track so we rented time at Michigan International Speedway (MIS). Here we would record vehicle information for our CERT vehicles and then run them back in town on the LABECO’s. Next came Exhaust Emission Instrumentation Group (EEIG). This was strictly the tailpipe measurements needed to pass for vehicle certification. Next move took me to my RENIX years. Joined Engine Electronic Controls (EEC). This move got me off of midnight/afternoon shifts to daytime work, which was the purpose of the move, and I landed on the newly formed team called 4.0L. Actually, they were going to call it a 3.9L due to the high price of fuel at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bezerk1 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I was wondering since the both of you worked there did you know about the launch coins or was that just the assembly plant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ωhm Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I myself didn’t know anything about this ‘launch coin’ except that there're pretty cool once I see one here on CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
