I thought you were a car guy.
The AMX is actually the sport version of the Javelin, so it is based on the same design and platform but modified to improve its speed and performance. So, in short, the AMX is not the same as the base-level Javelin, but it is still a Javelin in name. |

According to leftist agit-prop Wikipedia, while AMX was based on the Javelin, it was sold as a stand along AMX, not an options package on a Javelin, at least at some point during it's sales run. I'm thinking this is akin to Bonnevilles and the GTO? Then again, Wiki is not the most trustworthy source. |

Here’s one of many window stickers I found in a quick search. All say “Javelin AMX.”

From 71-on though (this body style), Steve is correct, the AMX was no longer a standalone model, just the name applied to the Javelin as a performance option pkg. The car pictured IS a Javelin, but is also an AMX, given the rear spoiler. The base Javelin did not have that. |

Javelin/Camaro SST/RS AMX/SS 304, 360, 390, and 401 C.I. (post 1970) Also a SC 360. 14inch rims. Yes, there were stand alone Javelins in 68 and 69. AMX being a two seater like the vettes. I had a spare trunk lid with a luggage rack I'd remove for the track. I also removed the giant rims for the track, ran 60's up front, and N50's rear to fill the bulging fender wells. . |

Didn't they refer to the 401 as "experimental"?

I had two friends with a 69...the one with the ladder bars would barely lift the tires off of the pavement...not a "wheelie" per se. The other would just fry rubber for blocks. |
