This week, we’re all fixated on AMC muscle. They’re some of the most oft-overlooked cars of those glorious early muscle years, and we wholly dig it. And, so did land-speed racer Craig Breedlove, apparently. In this pretty amazing mini-documentary, Breedlove takes one of these brand-new red-white-and-blue monsters to Texas and goes on an endurance run. Pretty cool in and of itself, but he loses his headlights somewhere in the middle of the night, goes through countless sets of tires, and is essentially a back-up driver to his accomplished driver and wife, Lee, on this adventure. Very, very cool.

We first met Breedlove at his shop in Northern California while he had legendary dragster chassis builder Pete Ogden working on one of his LSR cars.
