    This car is something you don't see every day. If anything you barely see it at al! Todds AMX is nothing short of amazing and different. Some history about AMX was that it was introduced as a competitor to the Chevrolet Corvette and Ford Mustang. The AMX was built on a shortened version of the AMC Javelin platform and was designed to be a performance-oriented car. It was available with a variety of engine options, including the powerful 390 cubic inch V8. The AMX was praised for its handling and performance and was successful on the racing circuit. However, production numbers were relatively low, making the 1968 AMX a rare and highly sought-after car among collectors and enthusiasts.

      I was yrs from driving when the pro street craze hit but remember lots of magazine cars well. Something about giant meats and a blower, or big block that never gets old! Car is set up well...some backhalf jobs are sketchy and car gets too squirrely. Get too sideways esp at speed and they can barrel roll.

      71 SST 401 Jav...late 80s I was 18 or 19. Paid $400 for it great daily!
      Miss the days when most of these old cars were dirt cheap.

    Some of you forgot how many had engine swaps in teh 70s..good AMC engines dont grow on trees. Try finding a nice blower manifold for one
    Nothing screams badazz more than a big ol polished huffer reaching for the sky!
    At least he drives it unlike the "My PRecious" mentality too many have.

    Really sad that there is not a AMC 390 in the car. But I am a AMC guy... For me a ISUZU 4 cylinder better will be a better engine than the GM crap..

    • @gordocarbo
      @gordocarbo 12 днів тому

      Bet if the build iddnt include a blower the 390 would be in there
      To handle that kind of power hes better off going with a Dart block.
      Doubt any factory stock block of any brand would hold up

    Should be ashamed of not running an AMC engine.

      Many of these in the 70s had engine swaps. Not easy to find a good amc mill anymore
