I suppose you have to admire AMC for having the audacity to name their muscle car "The Machine." Apparently a very nice car in its day, and colorful.:smile:

I think I'll have to disagree with you on the AMX not being a muscle car. Sure, it's not an LS-6 Chevelle or a 426 Hemi Cuda but it could hold its own with the less exotic cars of the time.

amx and amc's are the special Olympians of SPORTS CARS

the definition of a muscle car is a full sized engine in a midsized body, ref the original muscle car the 64 gto and the last the 73 charger

a 68 440 6pack charger......... 67 gto........ 71 chevelle..... 71 hemi ANYTHING

contrary to popular belief the Shelby mustangs weren't muscle cars, or the vette they were sports cars

A 73 Charger a muscle car? Not even close. Really anything after '71 was a former shell of itself due to the gov't cracking down on them.
I still think the AMX with a 315hp 390 engine would fit into the muscle car group. It isn't a sports car.

In the mid '70s Randall Engineering in Arizona put 401 V8s into Pacers. I don't know what category that is, but it could break into the 13s with a smog motor.:cool:

I had a 1970 Buick Skylark Grand Sport. I loved the muscle cars of the late 60's and 70's. If i were very wealthy I'd have a warehouse full of them! LOL! I now have a 1994 Camaro Z28 Convertible and a 2000 Camaro SS hardtop. The next car will be a Corvette!

Have you owned any, and which are your faves? I have always wanted a Boss Mustang but don't think I will ever be able to afford one.:smile:

Boss Mustang 302

Hurst/Olds

Firebird 400
My father had a 68 firebird 400. I was only allowed to drive it on rare occassions. Putting the pedal to the floor was a life changing experience

In the early '80s the 280ZX Turbo was a kind of Corvette alternative. 0-60 mph in under 7.5 seconds, which was quick for an automatic car of the time.:cool:
