Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Anybody who wanted to duke it out with the Big Three in the 1960s had to build credible muscle cars. American Motors did just that with models like the SC Rambler and the incredibly fast AMX. Some argue, however, that AMC's insistence on pouring resources into the muscle wars ultimately led to its downfall. Illustrated throughout with modern and archival photography, concept drawings, and cutaway illustrations, this color history's primary focus is the aforementioned AMX and the Javelin upon which it was based. Special models like the Mark Donohue Signature Edition Javelin, along with the less well-received Marlin, Rebel, SST, Hornet 360, Gremlin X, and others are also covered.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMC Muscle Cars, June 25, 2002
By A Customer
I am a new AMC convert and I love this book! I have a hard time keeping my hands off of it. I learned a lot by reading it and I liked all of the great pictures too. My only grip is that I wished it would have covered the larger AMCs a bit more. A V.I.N. decoder and total production numbers would certainly be a big plus. Overall, a definate must read for any AMC freak!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fills quite a void in the automotive hobby, August 2, 2000
This book was needed years ago. Now we have it. It is chock full of good stuff about AMC's cars, which were the also-rans of the American automotive industry. However, AMC did mighty well, thank you, and the cars in the book reflect that. The biggest gripe about the book are the photographs. Many are rather poor in quality- it almost seems the author took them himself instead of relying on a professional. Still, I think this is a book that will complement any collection.
