The AMX name originates from the "American Motors eXperimental, it was a two-seat GT style sports car that was produced by American Motors Corp. from 1968 through 1970. The AMX was also classified as a muscle car, but "unique among other American cars at the time due its short wheelbase. The AMX was also the only American-built steel-bodied two-seater of its time, the first since the 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird. To a degree, the AMX was a competitor with America's only other two-seater of the era, the Corvette for substantially less money. With a one-inch (2.5cm) shorter wheelbase than Chevrolet's two-seater, the AMX was often seen by the press as a "Corvettecompetitor". Fitted with the optional high-compression medium block 390cuin (6.4L) AMC V8, the AMX offered top-notch performance at an affordable price. In spite of this value and enthusiastic initial reception by automotive media and enthusiasts, sales never thrived.
