AMC's Two-Seat Gamble
The underdog two-seater with a 390 and a chip on its shoulder is finally getting its due.
American Motors never had the budget of the Big Three, so it did something they would not: a short-wheelbase, two-seat muscle car. The AMX was a gamble, and for years the market ignored it.
With a 390 V8 in a light body, the AMX was quick and genuinely different. Rarity plus rising respect means the underdog is finally climbing.
The company that could not afford to gamble built the boldest car of the bunch.
