AMC Matador X

When the Javelin AMX was discontinued, AMC was left without any muscle car in their lineup, so they quickly decided to introduce the Matador X. The Matador was redesigned for 1974, featuring a signature coupe body style that was pretty aerodynamic. Hence, the company presented the “X” package, which could be had with 360 V8 or an optional 401 V8 with 235 HP. Regardless of the dress-up kit, big V8, and all performance goodies, Matador X wasn’t any faster than Javelin, and the option was killed after only one year.
