IIRC, it seems like AMC used to have some cars (Matador?) with the rear tires moved forward. I'm looking for pics. Anyone else remember?
I think you are thinking of the AMX.
Here is the Javelin for comparison

It was built by a guy in california a few years back who was big into gassers and AWB stuff. Freaking cool as hell, he did a huge article on exactly how you alter the wheelbase on a car like that. I want it... BAD.

Actually, I misled you with AMC ---- when I was thinking about Mopar.
Does this car not have its rear wheels moved forward?
yeah dude they were modified like that

Well, the Fairmont was built up in Car Craft by Steve Mangonte (SP?) over several issues a couple years ago.
The Mopars shown above were commonplace in the 60's and were usually built by the factory as that was the "technology" used by the Big-3 at the time. Do a google search, Mustangs, Falcons, etc were all altered.

Guess I just don't see the point of an altered unless your going for a 60s look with a 60s car. Just seems kinda useless now that we have other technologies to do the same thing and look better at the same time
