Widely raced (it is currently second in nationwide stock-car standings, after General Motors' Camaro and ahead of Ford's Mustang), the Javelin has drawn younger crowds into A.M.C. showrooms. Next year, the company will race the new $3,245 AMX, a 150-m.p.h. souped-up Javelin that competes with the $4,663 Chevrolet Corvette...

American Motors' AMX Dream Car uses a cantilevered roof to do away with corner posts, boasts 240° visibility, and makes a stab at bringing back the old rumble seat with a back bench that uses the swing-up rear window as a windscreen.
