12. AMC AMX 390 SS

AMC was active in the NHRA drag racing championship, but they needed a proper car for the Super Stock class. So, the company produced the AMX 390 SS. They built this car in cooperation with Hurst, a famous mod company from the era. It featured lots of modifications and the biggest AMC engine, the 390 V8 with 340 HP.

The horsepower was not as much as other muscle cars of the period. But the AMX SS 390 was light and compact, making it brutally fast. AMC only made 52 of them. However, most of those were red, white, and blue machines that went to drag strips where they beat much more powerful cars with ease.
