havent seen one of these on the road for decades...save for a 70 something here in town

Had a 71 SST 401 in the 80s. Puke orange, missing a grille but had white buckets and a 401 my introduction to torque. Bone stock was a burnout machine loved it.
Wonder what a ballpark decent driver would run nowadays?
For some reason those cars never caught on.

Probably $15-25K today for a driver

1 of my uncles had a white with black int. 68 or 69 in the mid 70's, don't remember the engine but it was a sharp car, I guess AMC gave the muscle car thing a try but everyone wanted a Big 3 muscle car, remember Rambler Scramblers?

I used to have a 70 AMX years ago

I don't remember my uncles car having a hood scoop, maybe 68/69 didn't have them?...Off to Googleland lol

Friend of mine bought a brand new 74 javelin, green with a white vinyl top, 401, 4 speed, very nice looking car.

Maybe mid 90s had a chance to buy a pale yellow 70 AMX 4 spd with AC for $3500...I was literally a day short.
Love that yr..my grandfather in NM bought the same color 68 Jav new, remember riding in it as a kid.
Front grille looked real aggressive. 15k for a decent driver really isnt bad
Who woulda thought most any old car would bring the $ they do today?
Paid $400 for my SST bought it from a drug dealer lol

looks cool with the Donahue spoiler I think..always liked oddball stuff.
All that white one needs is an inch or 2 drop.

Would love to own a Rambler Scrambler but prices on them have gone thru the roof with an average value around 50K.They surprised a lot of muscle cars back in the day.

Werent they low 14 sec cars?
Most jacked this era Jav up in the back...much better below
More I look at these more I want one. Unique car.

Havent seen one for sale in a looong time.
Either "done" and want a bunch of $ or rusted to no end

My late neighbor was a wrench in an AMC dealership back in the 70s and had some cool stories about some of the cars.
My mother had a white Gremlin back in the day, and my wife drove a Pacer as a teen.
I have always admired the AMCs.

 

[mr 4 speed]

Had a friend with a 401 powered Gremlin back in the day..T10 ,3.54 posi
He embarrassed quite a few people with that car.

 

[cv67]

Did the Gremlin X come wtih anything larger than a 304?
I
Bet it ran hard with that 401

I don't think anything larger than the 304
That is what his started out as before the 401 transplant.

Didn't AMC have a 390? but not like Fords, I actually made $ selling a 76 Pacer twice and repo'ing it twice then sold it (Drove it) to a JY, LOL

 

[cv67]

yep, amx could be had with them
