Yep, always liked the look of an AMX.

Yes the underdog of muscle cars,less than 20k total produced,

They are a Javelin with a foot removed from behind the door,

I have had one(as well as a bullet proof hornet wagon that I hate to admit I owned), very simple basic looks

,,,I had to sell it since I didnt want to compete with Jim for parts ,and I have owned Mopars since

I would ponder to guess but I think Jim has owned at least 50 of them over the years,

I have worked on many of them with him,

we even cut one that caught fire in to 4 parts and hauled it to the junkyard,

To many stories ,not enough time

You got to love an AMX. Proper drivers car compared to lots of yank muscle. AMC's under rated.

That Green Mark Donihue (sp) that was for sale on here was also a super sweet Motor. I just this that unlike an E Body, for example they dont look right from all angles.
