AMC Muscle Cars 1955–1990

Every AMC muscle car 1955–1990 — model lineup, engine specs, production numbers, values and restoration guides.

AMC punched far above its size with the AMX, Javelin, Rebel Machine and the Hurst SC/Rambler. Production numbers were tiny compared with the Big Three, so AMC cars are rare and reproduction parts are limited — buy the best body you can find, because sheet metal is the hardest thing to replace.

AMC models covered in detail here include 1968–1974 AMX / Javelin. Every entry lists factory engine options, power and torque ratings, production numbers, original MSRP and current 2026 collector values, together with the specific rust areas and mechanical faults to inspect before buying.
