The AMX is a two-seat GT-style muscle car produced by American Motors Corporation from 1968 through 1970. Fitted with the standard high-compression 290 cu in (4.8 L) or optional 390 cu in (6.4 L) AMC v8 engine, the AMX offered top-notch performance at an affordable price. After three model years, the two-seat version was discontinued.
The American Society of Automotive Engineers named the AMX as the “best engineered car of the year” in 1969 and 1970.
To introduce the AMX to its dealers, AMC held meetings at nine Playboy Clubs. 1968 Playmate of the Year, Angela Dorian, was awarded a specially painted “Playmate Pink” 1968 AMX.
Motor Trend summed up a road test of a 1970 AMX with the 390 engine as “one of the better constructed cars around. Described as “the best version yet of this blend of muscle car and sports car”, the 1970 model was also the last “true AMX”.
Nothing else is like the AMX.
