The AMX (American Motors Xperimental) was
designed by AMC's VP of Styling, the legendary Dick Teague. It appeared
in production as a 2-seater version of the Javelin ponycar in 1968. The AMX continued as a
2-seater through 1970 but fewer than 20,000 were built. The AMX and the Javelin were American Motors
Corporation's entries in the 'pony car' market. Though a bit of a
'sleeper' car, the AMX two-seater did enjoy some competition success.
The top of the line optional engine for this car was a 390 cubic-inch V8 delivering
315 horsepower. There is a four-speed manual gearbox and the car weighs
in at 3050 lbs. Despite this cars popularity over the years as a 'quirky independent' a little bit different from the big three muscle machines, it still today can be bought well restored for around $25,000.
Well worth it for a fun and different muscle car!
