AMC AMX

The AMC AMX arrived in 1968 as a unique player in the muscle car era. Unlike its rivals, it was a true two-seat sports car based on a shortened Javelin platform, positioning it as a direct competitor to the Corvette but at a more accessible price. All AMXs came with V8 power, culminating in the highly sought-after 390 V8, especially when equipped with the performance-oriented "Go Package."

Collectors value the original 1968-1970 two-seat models for their rarity and underdog spirit. With only 19,134 two-seaters built over 3 years, they're far less common than Mustangs or Camaros. Their distinctive styling and legitimate performance credentials, particularly in 390 guise, make them a standout at any car show. The limited production and unique market position ensure their place in muscle car history.

Today's market reflects this desirability, with a wide spread in values based on condition and originality. The average sale price hovers around $28,000, making good driver-quality cars attainable. However, fully restored, numbers-matching "Go Package" examples can command prices upwards of $70,000, showing strong demand for the best of the breed.

Prices range from $4,433 for project cars to $71,500 for top-spec restored examples.
