Matt Wilson's garage, obviously a die hard AMC fan! |
 |
Seeing how it was always my dream to own a
1969 Hurst SC/Rambler and a Harley Davidson motorcycle,
I thought it would be cool to make my dream complete
by making them a nice garage. Here it is and I
have to say I really like hanging out in this
garage !!! I truly enjoy sitting in my chair
watching NASCAR racing and other motor sports
on the little TV I put on the wall. My friends
also like coming over and enjoy drinking a cold
beer while I have the garage door open enjoying
the night air. It is real nice to have a garage
like this as I can now enjoy the SC even in the
winter.

I must thank my wife again as she helped me
do this. Yes she thinks I'm a nut but she agrees
with me that this is the coolest room in the house
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dreamed I would have fun owning a AMC muscle
car but I never thought the Hurst SC/Rambler would
become such a huge part of my life. It has been
a great ride and I hope it last for many more
years as it keeps me feeling young and wild !!!!!!!!!!!
The most important person in the whole world
is my wonderful wife, Valeri. Without her this
dream of owning a Scrambler would not of happened
for me!!! I owe her big time. I am a lucky guy.
She is everything to me and has helped me get
my SC/Rambler. Life is GREAT now, as I have been
blessed with another chance at a good life. I
have done allot of back-breaking work through the
years, so it is very satisfying for me when I
drive the SC, because I'm truly driving my DREAM!!!!
The fact that I was with my family when my dream
started and ended up happy with my new family
when I finally achieved my dream is great.
It took me 22 years to get my own SC/Rambler.
It was worth the wait. I can't put into words,
how good this makes me feel! |

Getting educated on AMC's in IRAQ
Video Clip of Martin and I.

From left: good friend Eugene, middle Martin,
Matt on the right. I took Eugene went for his first
ride in a AMC. He loved it! Says
he needs a neck brace so he can do it again.

I have a friend named Martin Hubeaut who returned
home on 3-2-05 from his 14 month tour in Iraq
!!!!! I had met his daughter in a restaurant as
she noticed the AMC hat I was wearing. She told
me her Dad was in Iraq and that he owns a 1970
AMX. I gave her a picture of my SC/rambler and
wrote a note on the back of it along with my address.
Martin wrote me back and from that point on i
sent him any magazine i could find with AMC stuff
in it. The first one was about a AMC 390 build
up in HOTROD MAGAZINE !!!! My family and his have
become friends and are very happy about his safe
return. He only lives 20 miles down the road so
we are looking for the weather to brake so we
can get the AMX & SC/rambler out again!!!!!!!!!
He was home on leave for Thanksgiving for a week
and we got the cars out for about a hour and video
taped each other doing burnouts. I let him drive
the SC and I got to drive his AMX, this was cool!
Out of all the cool things I have gotten to do
with my Hurst SC/rambler this new friendship is
the most special. It is nice to know in some small
way i was able to make those 14 months he did
in Iraq a little easier as those magazines took
his mind off of where he was, THANKS HOTROD MAGAZINE
!!!! This is where the FREEDOM = AMC thing comes
from. I wrote this on everything I sent him as
I knew he was showing all this stuff to the other
troops!!!!! GETTING EDUCATED ON AMC's IN IRAQ,
how cool is that!!!!!!!!!! THANKS TROOPS |

1981
I saw my first SC/Rambler in the summer of 1981, I
had just turned 16 years old... |


|
In the summer of 1981, I had just turned 16
years old and my parents knew this would be the
last summer that our whole family would be together
as one. My brother was 18 and starting his own
life. They decided since we could all take turns
driving, we would go on a 10 day trip through
the mid-west!!! We lived in W. Virginia, so it
was a long drive just to get to Indiana. From
that point on, it was great, we got to see everything
you would want to see.
My family were all car nuts, so the one thing
that was different for us on this trip, was that,
we would stop at any old car museum that we could
find. Man, was it COOL for me and my brother.
In W. Va. all of the old cars rust so bad, that
it was great to see old cars that were just worn
out and not just rusted away. Most of these old
car Museums were no more than old barns filled
with old junk cars, but they all looked so cool.
There was the Pioneer Auto Museum www.pioneerautoshow.com in Murdo, South Dakota. This place was just GREAT!
They had lots of stuff and real cool cars. Some
were restored and some were not. Most were in
barns with dirt floors and cool car signs hanging
on the walls.
Out of the cars they had, there was one that
I had never seen before. It stuck out like a sore
thumb from all the rest. It was an (A) Paint scheme,
Hurst SC/Rambler!!!! It just looked ready for
a fight. I could see myself driving that car around
my home town and getting into trouble. Well, the
rest of the trip was great, but I never got that
SC/Rambler out of my head!!!! In the background
there is an original painting of my SC/Rambler,
painted by Danny
Whitfield, also given to The Pioneer Auto
Museum. The owner of the museum said, he will
hang it on the wall by the SC/Rambler along with
a story so everyone can enjoy it. This Rambler
on display there to this day is the same Rambler
that started my dream all those years ago.
