Anybody who wanted to duke it out with the Big Three in the 1960s had to build credible muscle cars. American Motors did just that with models like the SC Rambler and the incredibly fast AMX. Some argue, however, that AMC’s insistence on pouring resources into the muscle wars ultimately led to its downfall. Illustrated throughout with modern and archival photography, concept drawings, and cutaway illustrations, this color history’s primary focus is the aforementioned AMX and the Javelin upon which it was based. Special models like the Mark Donohue Signature Edition Javelin, along with the less well-received Marlin, Rebel, SST, Hornet 360, Gremlin X, and others are also covered.
