An AMX. A stepped up version of the Javelin, correct? American Motors.

Incorrect. The AMX was shorter, didn't have a back seat and was a different body style than the Javelin though many people did confuse them for being the same. AMC made that problem worse in the early 70's when the AMX and Javelin were literally "the same thing" mostly with different badging, some slight cosmetic differences and different drive train packages.

The 69 AMX was also the only car out of the factory that beat the Chevy Corvette in the same model year in the quarter mile.

If you sat in mine and felt it launch off the line you'd know why, VBG!

Between my AMX and my '76 Grand Prix SJ with a 455 under the hood I have a hard time picking my favorite car.
