AMC AMX – The Forgotten Muscle Car
Often overlooked, the 1969 AMC AMX was a hidden gem. With its short wheelbase and potent engine options, it was a nimble and capable performer on the streets. It’s a reminder that the ’60s had more to offer than just the well-known muscle cars. The AMX was one of the last AMC cars that had a completely original design, and despite the hideous look of the car, its performance was amazing. The AMC power plant that was under the hood was one of the most performance-oriented that the automaker ever released (via Muscle Car Club).
The AMC AMX didn’t break the mold like other muscle cars from the era, but it’s an often-forgotten performance gem. With a little bit of care and love the AMC AMX was a great muscle car that offered a lot of potential for a little bit of money. Even nowadays, the AMX is a much more affordable option than the more well-known offerings from GM and Chrysler. The AMX isn’t the first car that comes to mind when you think of a muscle car but it’s not one of the worst either.
