The horsepower wars were indeed at fever pitch in 1969. Race on Sunday, sell on Monday was the mantra, and the 'Big Three' were battling for a piece of the hungry youth market. And then there was American Motors, with their AMX.
To call the SS/AMX a street car is certainly stretching it, but truth is, if you had the funds, it was possible to visit your local AMC dealership and order one of the purpose built drag cars that came out of the Hurst Performance facility.
Seeing the success that Chrysler had working with Hurst on their Super Stock Dart and Barracuda, AMC decided to contract Hurst to produce two distinct cars: the wild SC/Rambler and the SS/AMX. Of course, the intent was clear for the SS/AMX.
Working directly with Hurst, AMC brass contacted dealers known to be involved with racing to see if they were willing to commit to purchasing a car that was clearly built for the strip. Starting with the bare bones 1969 AMX with a 390 cubic-inch engine under the hood, the cars were all built identically with a large hood scoop, dual quad induction on a special manifold, heavy duty clutch and bellhousing, modified cylinder heads, a relocated battery, modified suspension, altered wheelbase, and more.
This car is a prime example of a truly over-the-top offering from the ultimate performance era. It is believed that just 55 SS/AMX's were built. They are not street legal.
