The AMX 2-seater package came out in 1968. Along with the Javelin, that had a longer body. In 1971 the AMX Javelin hit the dealerships, died in 1974, and later AMX morphed into the Eagle and Hornet.
Classic cars anyone

Awesome rides folks. I especially love that 70 AMX and 70 Superbee. I too have a 71 Javelin awaiting its turn for restoration. I can get a 70 AMX as well for $4k, but it doesn't have a title.

One of my car "gang" here locally is TOTALLY into Javelin/AMX restorations and rebuilds them from the ground up, using a rotisserie. He knows every part down to every nut and bolt. Does them for people all over the midwest and he doesn't even have to advertise. Even though I'm a Mopar fan, I've developed quite an appreciation for these Javelins. I've always liked the AMC Marlins also.

Thanks Joee5
And the Spirit. I had a 1980 Spirit and drove it for years, all over the Midwest.

Thanks Mike, I forgot about the spirit.
There was also the Gremlin X (V8), Hornet X, Matador X and Pacer X (ha-ha yes they put a V8 in a pacer).
American motors built their own performance V8's, including the 360, 390 and 401, all small blocks.

My brother had a Gremlin X (light purple with white graphics). It took fire and burnt up.
AMC had some great cars over the years, but I think that the Matador and the Pacer had to be two of the ugliest cars ever.
