AMC (American Motor Company) Went from 1954 to 1987 when Chrysler bought them out and renamed them Eagle. Rode in a Pacer 304CI 3 in the floor many times in a drag race.

Mike, I bought the Kingpin last year after my accident.
I wanted to downsize from the Nomad at the beginning of last year but didn't know what to get.
After I put the Nomad in the ditch I rode Cindy's Boardwalk to the Flight 93 Museum in Penn. I handled so well I started looking at Victorys. Didn't want a Boardwalk as it has tube tires so ended up looking for a 2011 or 12 Pin.
Not to fond of the color but it handles great.
This is what it looked like when I bought it but have added some accessories, still have some to go.

They are a little louder than I like Brad but not obnoxious like some pipes.

They look loud but you know how I feel about loud pipes. They are not that loud, to me they are border line loud but only if you get into the throttle. Cindy thinks they sound good so we are trading systems. I get the stock pipes off her Boardwalk and she gets the stage one pipes off my Kingpin.
