It's also Hot-Rod magazine. So sorry. I wish there had been some action pics out of the 122, mais non! 
Holy crap that is cool 
I auto crossed my '73 Gremlin X once.
Worst thing was the abdominal slow steering.
Mark is a very good friend of mine. I'm hoping to bribe him for a turn at the wheel this season...
Funny, 7 years ago I rode around in Schwartz Extreme Performance's '65 Tempest with Mark for about 2 and a half hours on the LSFest rod run. I had ridden in the car earlier on the autocross and Mark saw me walking by when they were getting ready to go and invited me over and asked if I wanted to ride. In return I had to take photos for the scavenger hunt because he knew I had a camera. During the ride, the topic of AMC came up and he talked about how he was working on building this car.
Doesn't a Gremlin have big car suspension?
Same as a Javelin?
I always wanted a set of those wheels for the Fbody. Sportmax 962s. I probably habent even seen a picture of one in 5 or 6 years
I saw this earlier today on MSN. I first learned of Jeff back when he built Cadillac Attack years ago. I remember looking at the workmanship and thinking this guy was special. He's gone on to prove me right. I love everytime I see a cool ass car and learn that Jeff built it.
In reply to Stampie:
That is berkeleying awesome.

I'm pretty sure AMC used the same front suspension for a long time. The problem with that was that the Javelin front suspension, at least pre-'71. In fact, when AMC first joined the Trans Am fray, they released a factory-issued part number that allowed them to bolt in a Mustang front subframe because it had the anti-dive characteristics the Javelin were missing. And when Bob Tarrozzi joined AMC from Mopar, he brought over a bunch of spindles from a still-born Dart Trans Am program to try and fix geometry

The 69 and older suspension was a trunnion type. In 1970, when Penske came on board, the company redesigned the front suspension using the 67 Mustang's as an inspiration. So, the Gremlin has a suspension similar to a 70 AMX/Javelin...
Those trunnions were a pain. From a durability point. Willys used the same suspension on the '52-'55 AERO sedans.
Later ball joint, on AMC was better.
BTW: The Pacer had a more conventional suspension, with the spring on the lower control am.
You say trunnion, I think Studebaker.
i like that
"Mark didn't hesitate to head straight for North Carolina to compete in RideTech's Cars and Cones event"
I wonder if that was in May of last year, and they hit NCM? Pretty sure I remember seeing that Gremlin there.
