American Motors introduced the AMX in 1968 as a GT-style performance machine. It was a derivative of the new Javelin “pony car” with 12 inches taken out in the wheelbase to create a 2-seater. The car was in production for seven years although the last four were spent as an upgrade to the Javelin (with four seats). The seller has six of these cars from different periods, and they may need anything from a little bit of work to a complete restoration. Located in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, pricing for this assortment is vague, so you’d have to contact the seller to see what he/she has in mind here on Facebook Marketplace. Thanks for this interesting tip, Jack N!

Even by AMC standards, the AMX was never a widely produced car. From 1968 through 1970, just 19,134 copies were made with V8 engines ranging from 290 to 390 cubic inches. That volume must have led AMC to roll the AMX in under the Javelin with the car’s only redesign in 1971. As a performance option on the latter, another 15,961 AMXs would emerge before AMC discontinued production of both cars in 1974. That’s the same time Chrysler abandoned the pony car market, too.

The seller’s listing doesn’t help a lot in determining exactly what’s for sale and what each vehicle will require. It’s even hard to tell if six cars are here or maybe just five. A list of the cars by model year would have been an easy thing to include. Only two of the machines appear to be first-generation AMXs, with the rest from the second generation. At least one of the cars has or had a 401 cubic inch V8, the largest engine available after 1971. And one of the cars has the cool Pierre Cardin optional interior (check out the fancy upholstery in one of the cars).

There are two black AMXs of which one may have been more recently repainted. The best way to tell them apart is that one has a louvered rear window and the other doesn’t. Motors seem to be in short supply on these cars, so if you take one home you’re likely going to have to source the parts needed to make it go. Before buying a plane ticket to Wisconsin to check this inventory out, I’d spend some time on the phone with the seller to get a feel as to what’s really here (or not).
