No doubt in my mind 1968 to 70 AMXs were AMCs finest hour. And no longer are they forgotten about either!. I always liked em and never forgot about em !.
My Dad was an AMC fan. We had a 60s Rambler, but moved up to the beautiful brand new blue '72 Ambassador Station Wagon. Then ordered a '74 Ambassador 4 door absolutely loaded ... except for the 304-2 barrel. Wonderful times. As a kid at the dealership, I'd sit inside the 401 Javelins and the AMX models in the showroom as Mom and Dad did the paperwork. AMC sure did their own thing. We drove the blue Ambassador wagon across the country in the summer of '72 ... the classic California road trip from Indianapolis.
When I was a kid my dad took me to the American Motors dealership to get a new car. There was a beautiful AMX in the showroom for about thirty-five hundred bucks. It might as well have been a million bucks we ended up leaving with a 68 Rambler American.
@DR X Yep. The 390s and 401s were beasts. I really would like to see Fiat re-release some of the AMC models like the Javelin. I would be happy if they brought back the rear wheel drive Gremlin.
Easily one of the most underappreciated muscle cars. The AMX did pretty much everything well. In my personal opinion, it was also the best looking design AMC offered. The javelin was an eye grabber, in the same way as, say a train wreck would be, but the AMX was just clean and sporty.
amc had some very cool muscle cars back then . amx, rebel machine and hurst sc rambler . im a mopar guy but id love a 68 amx 390 four speed in big bad green .
7/2024: Good Day From The Future! I remember when they first came out. Loved them. I've always been a car guy. I was 16 then. Great Times for Great Cars. I bought a 1969 GTX, Auto and all the options from the first owner in 1971. Thanks & Best Regards.
I'm 1985 my dad gave me his with 47,000 miles, I drove it until 1991 with 180,000 miles, it would need a Master cylinder every year, the door windows would fall out or there's tracks and into the doors every two years, the head liner fell down on the freeway, lots of oil leaking from rear seal, you had to take the engine out to repair,transmission went out at 65,000 miles but hey this car made me a good mechanic, thanks
@@FOH3663 This is true. There were some better tires if you ran slicks but not from the factory. Bias ply street tires was about it They needed drag radicals LoL
My father bought brand new a 68 Javelin with a 290 and buckets and console automatic (my mother couldn't drive a stick), I was 4 years old and remember going to the dealership and seeing those BADASS AMX posters, that Is a great looking fucking car!
Great classic video upload..thanks..AMC made some great vehicles...That AMX was Bad to Bone..I owned a 1972-74 AMC Javelin with a 360 auto...My best friend in 1982 put a high end custom paint on her...Wow it was sexy and tough looking afterwardd...that 360 was a great engine...Not like that 390...but smooth and snappy...Seems like Yesterday when I was cruising in my Javelin...they were good times in America
Had a 69 AMX 500 special once. Big bad green, 390 with factory 4speed and Hurst quick shift. Rebuilt the engine pretty much stock except for roller rockers, stainless steel valves, headers and a Holley 600 cfm dual feed carb. Way too much horsepower for the weight. Had to start off in second gear to get any kind of traction 😁
@@thomassnapp1341 Yep! It was my second car. 1st was my Dad's 73 Cutlass Supreme 2 door. Inherited that in 81 at 14. Four years later, sold the Olds and bought the AMX off a guy who was hurting for money. Sweet car!
@@thomassnapp1341 Thanks, Thomas. Mine too. Unfortunately I wiped it out one night, almost killed myself in the process. Young and dumb. If the Lord ever blesses me with another one, I promise to take better care of it 😁
@DR X Yeah, and then wheelie bars. Didn't want to modify the rear end though. The guy who owned it before me did some suspension work on it and it handled turns like you wouldn't believe. I installed ladder bars and put cinder blocks in the trunk which helped a bit
It's a misconception that 60s and 70s rolling iron was heavy most mid size muscle tipped the scales at 3000 to 3500 lbs give or take. My 72 nova reggie says 2996 lbs ! 6cyl long gone w/ frt disc conversion .
the 1960's gave us some great cars for the available tech of the time. Lot of style however. Still the golden age of American Cars. All the boys in Vietnam could not wait to buy a new super car as soon as they got home.
I was a nine year old kid in 1969 and remember well the "Hip" and "Groovy" but cringe-worthy expressions like, "Swinger", and "Sock it to me!", Both of which are strangely and uncomfortably used in this video by announcer, Gordon "Bud" Lindemann, who was a pioneer in motor sports broadcasting.

But, what an awesome automobile the AMX, Javelin was! Dick Teague was an excellent automotive engineer and stylist. He held automotive design positions at General Motors, Packard, and Chrysler before becoming Vice President of Design for American Motors Corporation (AMC) He was a member of the "There is no replacement for displacement" club, who's members believed that the larger the engine the better the performance; all mechanical marvels, not a computer in sight. He had a term for the styling of the 'Javelin', what he termed as, "The Wet T-shirt Look": "Voluptuous curves with nary a hint of fat." Compared to the 400-plus horse power which automotive engineers are now able to prod from a four cylinder, the 315-HP the engineers in the '60's teased out of this 390-ci (6.4 liter) V8 seem rather sickly, but it was pretty darn good for the time. I always wonder what the young people of today think of our now Classic Automobiles from the 60's... they must seem like dinosaurs to them!

Pretty good go for the show and take a look at the influences in The Styling it made for a Smart lookin car!Hey George Romney it wasn't the Rambler I learned to drive in..
AMC was a dinosaur company even in 1969. Literally the product of a Nash-Kelvinator / Hudson Motors merger. They did well with what they had to work with, though.
I remember when I was 3 my ol man brought home a 79 cj7 golden eagle...it had a 304 and it was beat to all hell and back but those and motors were and are bullet proof
Always have like the AMC muscle offerings...something different. But the delivery and script writing is pure 60s corn. :) And why are they driving off-road? Groovy.
Could've done without the Herb Alpert Trumpet music, but the car was badass. The 4 speed was better than the automatic. They should've tested that car.
0-45 in 4.1 and 0-60 in 6.3? That makes no sense. And a 14.5 quarter? That's just talking out of one's butthole. The weight and the power tells me that this car could reach 60 in 7.5-8.0 seconds, and it probably ran a 15.5 quarter at around 85 mph. My dad almost bought one of these in 1970 and this amazes me since he was such a GM fan. He wound up buying a Volkswagen Type 1, which was another cool car, especially since he ordered the Porsche Sportomatic semi-automatic transmission. I have no idea at all why he had a problem with manual transmissions in 1970, but then again he eventually bought a Bimini Beige '77 Coupe de Ville, which is basically a pink 4500 pound car with a flaccid 7.0 liter V8 engine....with all of 180 hp.
@@hoodagooboy5981 And your 340 Duster [what year?] could probably run a low to mid 15 in the quarter mile. The notion that the '60's cars were fast is nonsense; My mom's Passat has a 120 cubic inch engine and is just as fast.
Flies2FLL at least the engines didn’t have to lug around a car heavier than 3,000 pounds and had some semblance of low end torque unlike the Passats turbo I4 and likely more reliable too and engines at the time were inefficient but produced lots of mechanical torque
I took the complete drive line out of a wrecked AMX and stuffed it into a AMC Hornet Hatchback.. fun project with great results... Until it was Stolen.😮😂
They were underrated (or, everyone else were overated). They did have seriously restrictive exhaust manifolds, before 1970, though. In 1970 with Ram air, they were rated at 340 hp, and 325 without.

Liked his playboy bunny line. Lol. Pretty car. 6.3 sec at 60 mph was FAST for that era
