14. AMC Javelin
AMC wanted to get into the muscle car game so for 1968 they prepared two interesting models. One was the Javelin and the other was the AMX. Those two models shared drivetrains and engines. The Javelin was modern-looking and was a four-seat, two-door muscle/pony car ready to fight the Mustang and Camaro.
It came with a long list of optional extras and featured several V8 engines. But the top engine configuration was the 390 V8 producing 310 HP, which had respectable performance. In fact, it was the first AMC model that got some street cred from muscle car enthusiasts.
