With Magnum 500 style wheels.
The first generation, 1968-70 was based on their Javelin ponycar, shortened into a 2-seater car but with a V8 engine standard. This one had a 360 cubic inch engine. A 390 cubic inch engine was also available.
The 1970 model was the last of the first generation. The following model year and generation, the AMX and the Javelin shared the same body.
Update: The color has been identified as ‘Commodore Blue.’
The AMC AMX is a two-seat GT-style muscle car produced by American Motors Corporation from 1968 through 1970. As one of just two American-built two-seaters, the AMX was in direct competition with the 2.5 cm longer wheelbase Chevrolet Corvette, for substantially less money. It was based on the new-for-1968 Javelin, but with a shorter wheelbase and deletion of the rear seat. In addition, the AMX's rear quarter windows remained fixed, making it a coupé, while the Javelin was a true two-door hardtop.
Fitted with the standard high-compression 4.8 l or optional 5.6 l or 6.4 l AMC V8 engine, the AMX offered sporty performance at an affordable price. Despite this value and enthusiastic initial reception by automotive media and enthusiasts, sales never thrived. However, the automaker's larger objectives to refocus AMC's image on performance and to bring younger customers into its dealer showrooms were achieved. After three model years, the two-seat version was discontinued.
The AMX's signature badging was transferred to a high-performance version of its four-seat sibling, the Javelin, from the 1971 to 1974 model years. American Motors capitalized on the respected reputation of the original two-seat AMXs by reviving the model designation for performance-equipped coupé versions of the compact Hornet in 1977, Concord in 1978, and the subcompact Spirit in 1979 and 1980.

The AMC 35 was a french light tank from 1932 which was used by both french army and belgian army among the "chasseur ardennais" units. It was the best tank belgium had at the time but only a few of them were used in 1940. Its main difference compared to other french tanks was its 2 man turret so the commander wouldn't have to do all firing, reloading, spotting and commanding tasks at the same time.
I decided to make this tank in belgian colours to change a bit so I had to buy and apply belgian decals from the "chasseur" ardennais :)
I managed to put some slight angles on the chassis like the real tank on the front and on the back and I like how it renders but on the other hand I'm not really confident about the turret but I couldn't do better than that.
Nothing more with that tank, It's the first vehicle that is part of my new wave of french 1940 vehicles, other will come later, next week I'll upload a small belgian cavalery canon that I made to go with the tank. Anyway I hope you like it :)
The three AMC cars that I've built so far. Having two of them side-by-side was satisfying, but having three now makes me so happy. The Rambler is still one of my favorite models to date, too. Hm, maybe that should be my next group photo: my top 5 favorites. That would actually be hard to choose!
P.S. Thanks so much to THE LEGO CAR BLOG for featuring The Machine last week.
P.P.S. I have the parts for 1 more car in the mail right now, but once that one's up, expect some downtime, or maybe just some group photos of existing models for a bit. The Coronavirus thing means I can't keep buying bricks and I'll be taking a break on new builds. I worked in a restaurant and am now going onto unemployment, so every penny counts right now.

I saw this AMC Pacer while getting an emissoins test on my Jeep (a $20 donation to the state of CT) on Tuesday. Pretty cool, not many of these around.
AMC sure was a strange company. I had fun designing and building all the different versions. There is a regular sedan, patrol car, wagon, wagon with wood paneling, and two sporty coupes. I hope y'all enjoy making these as much as I did!

This one was a bit of a challenge to make. Especially the red, white, and blue striping on the front grill. Overall I think it turned out pretty good though and I'm pretty happy with alot of the final details on the model.
