With Design Contributions from Brooks Stevens and Vignale
Spawned from the merger of Nash and Hudson in 1954, American Motors carried the 'independent' torch through 1987 until Chrysler absorbed AMC and Jeep (which was acquired by AMC in 1970). While Nash and Hudson ended in 1957, Rambler continued through 1969 as a part of American Motors.
The AMX (American Motors Xperimental) was designed by AMC's VP of Styling, the legendary Dick Teague. It appeared in production as a 2-seater version of the Javelin ponycar in 1968. Vignale, a coachbuilder in Italy, did the prototype with a rumble seat, affectionately known as the 'Ramble Seat.' The AMX continued as a 2-seater through 1970 but fewer than 20,000 were built. From 1971-1974, the second-generation Javelin was complemented by a Javelin AMX that had four seats and a performance-oriented engine.
Ex-champion race car driver Jim Jeffords collaborated with industrial designer and former Studebaker and Jeepster designer Brooks Stevens to custom-build this one-off pre-production AMX. Dave Puhl of Puhl's House of Kustoms in Palatine, IL was contracted to build this car to reflect the original ideas of Vignale. Among the special modifications were the Ramble Seat, a removable Plexiglas rear window, a special hood with air induction, and Motor Wheel Spyder wheels. The Candy Apple Red paint was complemented by the Shadow Mask hood treatment.
