I've owned many AMC's over the years, from a factory V/8 Pacer, AMX's and Javelin, best of all two S/C Ramblers. Every one of the AMC/Rambler cars are fun to drive, less expensive than most others, and best of all, and unlike a camaro" when going to cruise nights you're likely to be the only one there.

My first car was a 1969 Rambler American. I've also owned a '68 AMX with a 390 engine, a '69 Javelin, and a '71 Matador. I loved the power and handling of the AMX, it's my favorite of all the vehicles I've had over the years-but I must say my 2010 MX-5 is a blast to drive.

Great Video. I bought a 1973 Javelin with a '69 390 in it and drove that around for a couple of years until someone ran a red light and squished it. About 10 years later I bought a '69 javelin with the 343. Low miles, great condition, green. Had to sell it when I was going through hardship (it was my daily) and it needed a new camshaft. I dream everyday of getting a mint '73 with no drivetrain, transplanting something modern, and driving it every day till I die. Amazing car.

Great video, Thank you. Been an AMC fan since 1968 when I bought a new 1968 AMX. 343 with Go Pac. In 1973 I ordered a new Javelin AMX, 401 Go Pac, 4 speed. In 1975 I finally bought a 1969 SC Hurst Rambler, what an absolute attention getter it was in the day. Today I still own the Javelin AMX, as it sits in the garage. It is as an attention getter as well today, as one just doesn't see these or any AMC cars anymore. The Javelin AMX has been warmed over some with the addition of the 1970 AMC Rebel Machine intake and a larger Carter performance Carburetor. Other than that, the Javelin AMX is still all original, down to the factory Rally Wheels. So sad that AMC didn't last longer. When Chrysler bought out AMC in 1987, by 1989 they had completely demolished the whole Kenosha assembly plant. They didn't even give anybody the chance to salvage any of the factory parts, some dating all the way back to the 60's. Or save company literature and paperwork, they completely destroyed, and erased American Motors from the face of the earth.

I was in high school in the Toledo area in the early 1970's. One of my friend's dad was an engineer at Jeep when they got bought by AMC. They decided to see what they could do with all the new parts they now had access to, and promptly dropped a 460 into a CJ-5. My buddy got to drive it once and spent his time smoking all four corners at stoplights.

I have an '86 AMC Eagle Wagon as my daily driver. I love it. Everyone is always asking questions about it when I stop somewhere. The 2 main questions I get are, "Is it really 4 wheel drive and did I put a lift kit on it?" Yes, it is 4 wheel drive, it does work, and no, I did not lift it. It's stock height, for now.

Longtime AMC fan here. We had a '62 Rambler Classic station wagon that my mother learned to drive on, a '68 Ambassador that I learned to drive on, a '74 Hornet that my sister learned to drive on and I had a '78 Gremlin that I traded in for my '88 Jeeo Cherokee, which I still have. I also took ownership of a '69 AMX almost two years ago. I'd dreamed of owning one for years - 390 4-speed - and that dream came true.

I have a 60 rambler wagon. Grandpa gave it to me when I was 15. It’s been garaged since the 80’s. It’s insanely difficult finding a motor for it, along with all the other things. Transmission, and driveline components. The torque tube is a pain in the butt.

My dad sold new Ramblers in Vancouver, WA circa 1961 until he and a partner started their own used car lot nearby. I still remember him bringing home a red with white convertible topped Metropolitan. My son has owned several Gremlins and still owns a 1974 that is a daily driver for his Japanese wife. He just brought home a 1980ish AMC Eagle Sport to rebuild.
