With a blend of bold styling, stellar V-8 performance and handsome interior appointments, these underdogs in the muscle car wars of the late 1960s, stood out from their counterparts and won over an army of enthusiasts.
This book sheds new light on these enigmatic high-performance cars. The AMX, an agile, fast, American two-seat musclecar; the Javelin, a potent Camaro and Mustang challenger; the Rebel Machine, a brash, full-size road rocket and other AMC musclecars, including custom-built creations, are covered in detail.
All the boardroom battles, styling experiments, research challenges and achievements are examined, in addition to AMC's foray into many forms of auto racing.
Long-time AMC expert and national club founder, Larry G. Mitchell, breathes new life into the AMC story with fresh information, vintage advertisements and literature, all accompanied by 80 colour and 40 black/white photos, some never before published.
