  Musclecarclub.com - AMC AMX - History
Introduction: The AMC AMX may not be a true muscle car, or even a pony car.
Comments: The AMC AMX debuted on Feb. 24, 1968, as a mid 1968 model.
Although the AMX would technically continue to 1974, this was the last year for muscle car engines and muscle car performance.

 Howstuffworks "1970 AMC AMX: A Profile of a Muscle Car"
AMC was never shy about asserting that its AMX was a genuine sports car.
AMC also moved the parking/turn-signal lamps to the grille, creating holes in the bumper that it said cooled the front brakes.
This was the last AMX to use a shortened Javelin chassis and a two-seat cabin.

 MI Test AMC's New AMX
This must not be the case with the new AMX since I saw six completed cars running around the track at the Orange County International Raceway in California and I drove one of them.
AMC was throwing a big wing-ding and all six cars were in use and a simulated road race soon was in progress.
In summing up, the AMX is the hottest thing to ever come out of Wisconsin and I forgot to tell you they have it suspended so that you can whip through corners and real hard bends better than with many out-and-out sports cars.

Javelin was a response to the Mustang, Camaro, Firebird and Barracuda crowd; AMX couldn’t be construed as a response to anything but Corvette.
AMX loyalists pointedly note the car was the first new steel-bodied domestic sports car since the ’55 T-Bird debuted.
AMC has predicted 10,000 per year; AMX limited production was, in fact, truly limited.

The 1970 AMX was subjected to numerous changes and improvements over its initial version as the almost identical twin 1968 and 1969 model years.
The 1970 AMC could be had with the distinctive "C-stripe" (in various colors) or the even more dramatic "shadow-mask" flat-fl paint treatment.
AMC was a leader in offering value pricing -- automobiles with desirable features at suggested manufacturer's retail prices (MSRP) that were lower than the competition.

AMC's best years were had with the Rambler and from the 1960s forward, the company saw a steady decline until a merger with Chrysler in 1987.
AMC attempted to draw on this sporting investment with the AMX, a short wheel base Javelin, having two-seats which was destined to become AMC's defining sports car.

 Howstuffworks "1968 AMC AMX: A Profile of a Muscle Car"
Inspired by the 1966 American Motors Experimental concept car, the 1968 AMC AMX featured a big-cube V-8 for straight-line go but had a wheelbase one-inch shorter than a Corvette's and just two-seats -- a combination that begged for twisty roads.
AMC bragged that it would build no more than 8000 '68 AMCs, and this emphasized the limited-production nature of its two-seater.
An AMX couldn't stay with a Corvette in the curves, but was otherwise among the very best-handling domestic cars of its day.

All 1968 to 1970 AMXs came with a 4-barrel carbureted V8 in 290, 343, 360 and 390 in³ versions, all derived from the same external sized block.
Performance with the latter engine was very competitive, and the AMX found its greatest success on the dragstrip, where it held the Super Stock champion title for many years.

AMC's biggest input in the project was the 390 ci V8 engine, which was directly derived from the AMX coupe.
In a final attempt to revive the AMX/3, AMC offered to send Bizzarrini parts to construct 30 examples, of which they would buy ten examples, leaving the other 20 for the Italian to sell.
Although AMC initially ordered all completed cars to be destroyed, Bizzarrini fortunately refused.

The AMX is one of the best looking cars to come out of the Muscle era and certainly one of AMC's best efforts.
In later years when the AMX was merely a package for the Javelin, some of the appeal was lost.

Although AMC produced about 29,000 Javelins for the '71 model year, only 2054 of those were the AMX version.

For example, the AMX shared most of its parts with the Javelin, which was produced in much higher numbers (fenders, bumpers, doors, most of the interior, and most of the running gear are interchangeable; windshields and rear windows are the same; side glass is not).
Luckily for AMC enthusiasts, many AMC parts also made their way into Jeeps, for which there is a booming aftermarket parts business.
For some parts, though, particularly for older AMCs and Ramblers, these vendors may be the only way to go.
