The AMC AMX is a two seat high-performance Muscle Car produced by American Motors Corporation (AMC) between 1968 and 1971. More GT in style and approach than a true sports car, the muscular AMX was introduced to compete head-to-head with America's only other two-seater of the era, the Chevrolet Corvette.

Fitted with the optional high-compression small block 390 cu in (6.4 L) AMC V8, the AMX offered top notch performance at an affordable price. In spite of this value and enthusiastic initial reception by automotive media and enthusiasts, sales never thrived and after three model years it was discontinued, AMC transferring the AMX's signature badging to a high-performance version of its 4-seat sibling, the Javelin, through 1974.

Attempting to further trade on the original's once respected reputation, the AMX designation was revived again for performance option equipped versions of the Hornet in 1977, Concord in 1978, and Spirit in 1979 and 1980.
