Racing in style since 1970.

AMC is one of the most iconic American automotive manufacturers to have ever been featured in performance and muscle car history. Of all of their best cars, there is one which stands out as a real muscle car with everything you might expect under the hood. That model is the AMX whose name was pretty much synonymous with the company’s primary goal of taking on every other American sports car on the market, even the Corvette. Here's a perfect example of just how they planned to do that and why so many enthusiasts remember the vehicles even today.

A major piece of the puzzle when it comes to the muscle car reputation of this particular model is the powertrain options which made it so attractive to enthusiasts in the first place. Under the hood you'll find a 390 cubic inch V8 engine whose displacement and strong build quality is a great indicator of performance in a racing situation. On top of that, you can expect a lot of torque which is perfectly transferred through a 727 Chrysler automatic transmission before hitting the rear wheels with a violent jerk of power.
