7th Australian AMC/Rambler Show

    7th Australian AMC/Rambler show itinerary and information

    Below is a basic itinerary and information about what is one of the best AMC weekends in Australia. While show is over 3 days many make a week holiday of it and start to rock up on the Tuesday arvo and many don’t leave until the Tuesday morning with plenty coming and going in between. Some owners really make a great holiday of it away with their cars, partners, mates and kids. You can choose to do all of the below or none of the below and just relax or cruise around and explore the local area at your leisure and then all congregate at the show on the Sunday Tongue

    Friday 13th March

    9am Scrutineering at driving event at Logic Centre racetrack Barnawartha about 10 minutes south of Wodonga. We only have 1 AMC entered so far and only a few spots left overall so if you are thinking of some track time in your AMC you better be quick to enter. Let me know if you miss out and I will see what I can do.

    10am Lap Sprints begin

    1pm Go to Whoa

    5pm-8pm-ish Early check-in at the show venue at Gateway Lakes (hot and cold food and drinks available) This is a show within itself with about 300 cars coming and going and a great time to have a first catch up and meet and greet

    5.30pm “The Great Reveal” Newly restored or never been to the show Chrylers and AMC’s are unveiled for the first time. We have at least 2 AMC’s booked in so far for this

    There is plenty of street cruising after the 8pm check in finishes but the main cruising night is the saturday night

    Saturday 14th March

    8am gates open for our AMC’s

    9am Judging begins and goes until 1pm. ALL AMC’s to park in the AMC section. A judge will come over and do our cars

    1pm Check in on the Saturday closes but ask for me if you rock up later

    2pm The Saturday lunch venue that everyone heads to is the Gerogery Pub this. A huge amount of people and cars usually head out to lunch. Gerogery Pub is only about 10minutes past the Ettamogah Pub where it is usually held. Ettamogah is a perfect venue for the arvo but the owner is notoriously difficult to deal with unfortunately. Gerogery Pub is pretty cool too and just a short driver north of Albury. They will be having a US Muscle Photoshoot too that our AMX’s, Javelins and Hornets certainly fit into

    5.30pm onwards the annual AMC owners and lovers dinner at Sodens Pub which is just across the road from the SS&A where it was the last 2 years (you can still park at SS&A carpark). Please book a spot with Dianne Wilson on 0434370045. Looking like we will have over 70 guests this year and a great evening to catch up with old and new owners of these rare cars

    Once the street lights come on there is plenty of family orientated cruising from dusk til late. Wodonga Place is a street is lined with spectators (very family friendly atmosphere) and the streets full of cars of all persuasions so lets show them what we have got AMC in American Graffiti style under lights. No drag racing. Only because we already know we would win Tongue

    Sunday 15th March

    7.30am Gates open to bring your cars in for the 7th annual Australian AMC/Rambler show

    11am Check in closes but please get the gate keepers to contact me if you are later then this. Remember while pre-entry isn’t mandatory it just helps me A LOT from this end. You can just rock up and enter your car on the spur of the moment anytime within the given times over the weekend

    11am A full ‘bonnet down’ photo shoot of all the approx 22 Hornets and 4 Gremlins in in attendance all lined up together. A once in a lifetime 

    2pm Trophy presentation which includes 1st, 2nd and 3rd Best AMC overall this year

    5pm gates locked and show over for another year Cry

    Lots of people hang around until at least the Monday. Which is a great idea to just sit and relax

    Steve Fripp is down again with his huge collection of AMC parts for sale. Many are NOS. He can be contacted on 0477090874 if you need him to bring something down for you and save on the high postage costs AusPost now has

    And for those thinking of bringing kids…

    FREE entry for under 16

    FREE kids rides

    FREE face painting

    BOTH DAYS, ALL DAY, FREE

    Which is great for keeping the kids amused if you bring them

    #We look like will have 70 to 80 AMC’s and an estimated 900 cars all up going to be in attendance!!! Cementing itself easily as the largest Chrysler show outside of North America. Maybe even AMC show?

    #I have a commemorative bumper sticker for all entrants cortesy of Steve Fripp from RamblerSpares

    #We have 52 AMC’s fully pre-entered plus 12 definates and a heap of maybe’s (usually now we would have 20tops pre-entered so 52 is amazing) so should end up with about 70 to 80 cars. On top of these there are a few others that really arnt sure due to distance, even from Melbourne. I reckon nothing better then cruising up the highway in an old car, radio blaring and all windows open. Plus these cars were made for travel and touring and not just shopping trips. Have a weekend away and enjoy your car, enjoy being with other AMC owners and above all you will enjoy yourself and your relaxing and/or adventure away. Its not just a “park your car in a paddock” car show. The whole weekend, and experience, is a whole lot more then that J

    There are cars from most states coming except WA and NT atm (we even have a car coming from Tasmania!). If your in WA, SA, QLD even Sydney there are convoys coming from all areas. From WA there is usually a small convoy of Chryslers so I could put you in touch with them (and any of the other states convoys) if you were thinking or liking to travel in a group

    If you have any old AMC newsletters or magazines you no longer want or read etc bring them up to leave on the tables for people to read and even take with them to enjoy. There are many new to AMC owners coming and they would love some of these to read and’or take home

    Plenty of time to still enter and securely pay on www.chryslersonthemurray.com

    There is a Chrysler Show facebook site-
