AMC Javelin AMX Pierre Cardin edition
It was a few years ago the car was new I was younger. It was a good car though not as good as my 69 GTO. Drive a Mustang now.

The AMC Spirit is a subcompact car sold by American Motors Corporation (AMC) from 1979 through 1983. Replacing the AMC Gremlin, the Spirit was available in two different body styles, both were two-door hatchbacks – but neither was marketed as such. Instead, AMC offered a restyled Gremlin either as a "Spirit Kammback" or "sedan", while an additional model with a more gently sloping rear was introduced as the "Spirit Liftback" or "coupe". Due to budget constraints, the Spirit shared the Gremlin's platform – its floorpan, powertrains, and many other parts were carried over.
As a restyled variant of the previous Gremlin, the Spirit featured distinctly larger rear quarter windows while retaining the instrument panel introduced on the 1978 Gremlin, with a wood grain overlay on DL and Limited models.
The standard engine on all models except the AMX was a 121 cu in (2.0 L) EA831 inline-four supplied by Audi. Optional were AMC's 232 cu in (3.8 L) and 258 cu in (4.2 L) inline-sixes (the latter standard on the AMX). The 304 cu in (5.0 L) AMC V8 engine was offered as an option only on the liftback.
I can't decide if these are growing on me or not.
Tip... AMC had some mean looking concept cars in the muscle car era.
It's been several years since I've seen any AMC car, and the very first time I've seen one in NC. Salisbury

For years, AMC (American Motors Corporation) had built their reputation, their brand, on 'economy'. So when the 'muscle car' phenomenon came along a bit later, in the mid-1960s, AMC had to 'scramble' to get in on the act. Thus, the Javelin became the company's answer to the wildly popular Ford Mustang. Problem was, it arrived four years too late. The Javelin was certainly a neat-looking car, especially the original 1968-70 series, but it never really caught on, and AMC discontinued it after the 1974 model year. Shown above is one of the second (1971-74) series cars.
At first, from across the street, I wasn't sure what I was looking at-----I had to cross over to verify my suspicions. But now that all Javelins are fifty-plus years of age, I'm guessing that they're pretty scarce on the ground. They've got to be-----I mean, there weren't a lot of them to begin with!
