Sadly, AMC was often held back by management, who encouraged penny-pinching methods in production. Right car, wrong engine. It was the follow-up to the SC/Rambler, a one-year-only special edition muscle car. A normal Rambler or Rebel isn't quite known for ultra-top speeds. This American Motors Corporation (AMC) was formed in 1954 by the merger of Nash-Kelvinator and Hudson Motor Car Company.

The AMC AMX was a small, two-seat sports car that was pretty quick in just about every iteration. Automobiles sold by American Motors (American Motors Corporation−AMC) — a former vehicle brand of the United States. AMC sold fewer than 50 units of the Matador Machine, making it one of the rarest cars on this list. Either model stands as a classic of the muscle era. Due to its, frankly, goofy shape and overall aesthetic, it is often used in movies and on TV as the butt of some joke or gag. The most LOL-worthy things the Internet has to offer.

However, it didn't catch on, and though CGE later tried to branch out with custom "mini truck" bodies like the car pictured above, very few were ever sold. (Schwing!). It cashed in on the trend by making cars like the Gremlin: small yet practical hatchbacks with small engines sold for cheap. This was one of the first V8 performance cars to come from an American manufacturer, beating iconic early muscle cars like the Pontiac GTO to market by almost a decade. If the CGE Pacer is just too weird for you, but you still want an AMC hatchback with a 401 cubic inch V8 under the hood, then look no further. AMC engines were beastly, and when they were put into a nice handling package, they were unstoppable – ask any car magazine editor. 40 60.
