  • From what I understand, there where actually 53 made in case one was wreck. Something that there was a requirment of 52 cars for some reason... I think I got video footage of this car at the Mopar Nationals in INDY several years ago. Very Impresive indeed. 5**** for sure.

  • 1jackdk - Reason for 52 was to claim it was a production made car. Yes there was extra made. One was a backup and an AMC dealer in Norfolk VA got it. They raced AMX-1 and had a twin. There's two AMX-1's out there being restored. One is in Canada the other in the US. There was some confusion to this and the spare AMX is the reason

  • I don't think this was the SS in car craft. Let me know if you figure out how to hit the lotto as I haven't been able to

  • AMC made their own. Only exceptions were the 55-56 Packard V8, '77-'79 VW 4, '80-'83 Pontiac 4, '84-'87 Chev 2.8 six, & '84-whenever 2.0 P-R-V diesel. In house engines from '50 or so on are: 196-6cyl. 250-287-327 V8, 199, 232,258,& 4.0 6cyl, 2.5 liter 4, & 290,343,304,360,390,and 401 V8's.

    The only coincidental connection between a Ford FE 390 and an AMC 390 is the displacement. Don't share bore, stroke, block size ( the Ford is a big block ), bore spacing, or any thing else. Hope this helps.

  • AMC built their own engines. The Ford 390, while the same displacement, is a much larger engine (outside dimensions). A ford 390 will not bolt up to anything AMC.

  • @KiLaMaker There was nothing "weak" about an AMC 390 in an AMX or Javelin they would & could embarrass a 396 Camaro, a 390 Mustang & many other cars of the period.

  • @nightwheel AMC was bought out by the French (Renualt) Chrysler bought the company from Renault. Renault stopped making AMC cars & replaced them with their horrible cars. Jeeps were still engineered by the AMC people which were still decent vehicles. Chrysler wanted Jeep & soon killed off the awful Renault cars.
