I would LOVE to have this, could you scan the whole thing? Bob Bannerman actually showed the original to me a few years ago. He had a bunch of stuff from the build. I may contact him again soon.

Looking more closely at these pics, they actually open up some questions. Bud ran the car in 1969 only, and I believe it always ran #31. In the pics that Adam says are from 1971, the car wears #159.

The story I have heard is that the car sat in Bannerman's shop during the 1970 season. In 71 it was apparently run by someone else, but nobody seems to remember who. Following the 71 season, the car was relegated to the lot behind the dealership and at some point the race prepped 390 found its way into a tech's street car. It would be interesting to learn more about the 71 season.

First off, thanks to Bob Barg for telling me about this thread!

Mike in Canada, thanks for posting Adam's pics of Bud's AMX, as these are new ones to me! As Bob mentioned, there are very few pictures of my Dad's car in action. He will love seeing these new ones.

I believe his car does still exist, but is in storage at the back of a shop somewhere in Ontario. The guy who owns it is a collector who keeps very quiet about it and refuses to talk with me because he knows I would love to own the car. One day perhaps it will see the light again!

Bud Tucker and Bob Tucker are two different people, who are unrelated. I have no knowledge of Bob.
