It was a pony car -era two-seater that only lasted three model years - the AMX from AMC. Stephen Shay of New Milford, CT had one as a teenager, and has restored a second one as an adult.
Longtime AMC fan here. We had a few AMCs ourselves: a '62 Rambler Classic station wagon that my mother learned to drive on, a '68 Ambassador that I learned to drive on, a '74 Hornet that my sister learned to drive on, and we traded in the Ambassador for a '78 Gremlin that I drove for ten years. I still have two 1968 dealer brochures, one with the AMX and one without, so I knew about them even back then. I'd always dreamed about getting my hands on an AMX, and five years ago, that dream came true. It's a '69, Beale St. Blue with white go-pack stripes, 390 4-speed with Flowmaster mufflers. Lots of fun to drive and it turns heads. P. S. I used to live in Connecticut and am a UConn alum.
I had a friend back in 1974 that had a 69 AMC AMX with a 390 c.i. engine, 4bbl carb and a 3spd automatic console shift. It was crazy fast. Just like this one, black with white stripes. Burn rubber all day long😎
