AMX wasnt killed off it went the way of the Mustange . Small displacement engines no real performance
I had a few eagle 4x4s the SX4 was my favorite small 6cyl went anywhere. Loved going into the trails and people laughing untill I was either right behind them or in front .

My parents owned 2 Hornets. And I have to admit that I was one of those people that laughed at the 4X4 Eagles. Now I would love to have one if I could find one.
When I say that they killed off the AMX I'm talking about the "real" AMX's. Like yours. Not just some stickers stuck on a slug. It seemed to me that American Motors never really supported them. Which is a shame because they were (and are) really cool.
But I guess it was the time. Emissions regulations killed a lot of great cars. Case in point.This aint a Mustang in my opinion. It's a Pinto that went to college.
