Description: The Ford Mustang opened up a new market in the 1960s, and one of the makers which soon tried for a piece of the action was American Motors. AMC's first Mustang contender, the Marlin, was not an unqualified success; but its second - the 1968 Javelin - sold like hot cakes. Although the entry-level models were only sixes, the Javelin could also be bought with performance options which made it a very much more interesting piece of machinery. Capitalising on the Javelin's success, AMC followed through in mid-1968 with the AMX, which was essentially a Javelin chopped in half and shortened to make a unique and attractive two-seater coupé. It deserved to be more successful than it was, particularly as AMC offered some worthy high performance packages, but the AMX was dropped in 1970 when sales failed to match expectations. The high-performance Javelin and AMX variants have now established themselves as enthusiasts` cars, and those who appreciate them will certainly appreciate this collection of material about them which appeared in the motoring press when the cars were new.
