1969 AMC BIG BAD ORANGE AMX

In 1968, American Motors entered the pony car war with the Javelin. While the competition offered body style variations such as convertibles, coupes, and fastbacks, AMC went in another direction and marketed a shortened sportier model called the AMX.

According to information supplied by C.L. Zinn II, author of "AMX Photo Archive: From Concept to Reality", published by Iconografix, Inc. "Work on the Javelin was done in the American Studio headed by Bob Nixin. A short while latter (late 1965) the AMX was started in the Advance Design Studio headed by Chuck Mashigan." When introduced in 1968 the AMX had a suggested list price of $3,245. Equipped with the optional 390 cubic inch V-8, it was promoted as having a top speed of 130 mph.

Only 284 Big Bad Orange AMXs were produced in 1969.
