HERE'S A COPY OF WHAT WIKIPEDIA HAS ON FILE ON THESE AWESOME CARS OF YESTERYEAR. ENJOY.

The AMC AMX is a two-seat GT in style and approach sports car that was produced by American Motors Corporation for the 1968 through 1970 model years. [2] The AMX was also classified as a muscle car. but "unique among other American cars at the time due its short wheelbase". [4] The AMX was also the only American-built steel-bodied two-seater of its time. the first since the 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird . [5] To a degree. the AMX was a competitor with America's only other two-seater of the era. the Chevrolet Corvette[6] for substantially less money. [5] With a one-inch (2. 5 cm) shorter wheelbase than the Chevrolet's 2-seater. "the AMX was often seen by the press as a Corvette competitor. "[7]
Fitted with the optional high-compression medium block 390 cu in (6. 4 L) AMC V 8 engine. the AMX offered top-notch performance at an affordable price. In spite of this value and enthusiastic initial reception by automotive media and enthusiasts. sales never thrived. However. the automaker's larger objectives to refocus AMC's image on performance and to bring younger customers into its dealer showrooms was achieved. After three model years. the two-seat version was discontinued. and the AMX's now signature badging was transferred to a high-performance version of its 4-seat sibling. the Javelin. from 1971-1974.
American Motors capitalized the respected reputation of the original AMXs by reviving the model designation for performance-equipped coupe versions of the compact Hornet in 1977. Concord in 1978. and subcompact Spiritin 1979 and 1980.
Origin of AMX[edit]
1968 and 1969 C-pillar AMX emblem
1969 AMC AMX in "Matador Red"
The AMX name originates from the "American Motors e Xperimental" code used on a concept vehicle and then on two prototypes shown on the company's "Project IV" automobile show tour in 1966. [8] One was a fiberglass two-seat "AMX". and the other was a four-seat "AMX II". Both of these radically styled offerings reflected the company's strategy to shed its "economy car" image and appeal to a more youthful. performance-oriented market. [8]
The original AMX full-scale models were developed in 1965 by AMC's advanced styling studios under the direction of Charles Mashigan. [8] The two-seat AMX was "big hit on the auto show circuit in 1966" and featured a rumble seat that opened out from the rear decklid for extra passengers called a "Ramble" seat. AMC executives saw the opportunity to change the consumers' perception of the automaker from Romney's economy car image. to the realities of the new marketplace interested in sporty. performance oriented vehicles. Robert B. Evans requested a car like the AMX to be put into production quickly. [8]
Two simultaneous development programs emerged for a production car: (1) a modified Javelin and (2) a completely new car bodied in fiberglass. The first approach was selected allowing AMC to use its existing technology and unibody manufacturing expertise to make fairly inexpensive modifications to the Javelin approximating the prototype's styling and proportions. The automaker could turn out steel bodies in large numbers. so it rejected developing plastic (or fiberglass) bodies because those are intended only for low-production models.
