Who ever made this video and the AI voice had no idea about anything AMERICAN Motors

[@MrTheHillfolk]

6:32 Thats amazing on that Javelin sst,how fast it goes. 80mph is really haulin the mail!!

[@ottodetroit]

great example of how/why AI will never really take over the world. lmao

[@keithclark3079]

Beyond silliness😅

[@markpalmer7832]

I loved AMC.

[@user-pn3gl5jf5d]

Is my opinion they were the best car company ever for reasons a lot of people just wouldn't understand or agree with but at the same time the reasons are very very good

[@TheRealBobBasher]

Your stock footage is all wrong...at least get that part right.

[@davidcantwell2489]

This is what you wind up with when your creator is from a defunked home improvement show and images came from clip art, editor only has done fashion shows.

[@Sabe53]

Talking about a powerful V8 and showing an inline six. Talking about one model and showing something else, some not even AMCs

[@ronaldmartino2610]

Javelin! Didn't know what I had back then. Collapsing lifters and all.

[@dougjohns5115]

video is messed up but it reminds me of when my mother bought a Pacer when I was in high school...with me wishing she had bought the Javlin...

[@Brucekrueger-nc8lk]

It was the my most favorite car I've ever owned, bought it when was 16 used 58 k miles 500 bucks

[@TrentmanX]

The information on the Pacer X in this video came from the MEXICAN version of the Pacer X (the VAM Pacer X). The Mexican Pacer Xs were the ones with the special 150 net HP version of the 4.6 Liter straight six engine (282 cid), which was NEVER available in the United States and Canada. This video is supposed to be about the original AMC versions of the cars mentioned here, not the overseas ones. The research done for this video was very poor.

[@falconeye577]

Javelin is SO HARD TO FIND today - Wish I had one but I would be happy with the AMX The Two Seat Model is SUPER RARE

[@user-pn3gl5jf5d]

I have a javelin builder for sale 1968 v8 car

[@ronaldbrouhard1247]

I'm sick of BOTS narrating stuff. Get back to a Human that can talk.I had a 1963 Ambassador with 327 (AMCs) Stick & .<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2641">44:1</a> posi. 14.9 in 1/4 mile, 92 mph, & one mighty quick street racer. THAT was fun, putting down many hot cars.

[@CarCommentator]

The care and precision in your restoration work are truly extraordinary. You've breathed new life into this car, turning it into a magnificent blend of history and beauty

[@karldoerr9456]

Done with this video! Showing R/T's, gto's, old buicks

[@chuniquepaceno470]

Great video, coming from a former Gremlin owner...but you did reverse the names at the start of the video when introducing the Javelin and AMX.

[@davidcantwell2489]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="11">0:11</a> ..... why are you showing Dodge Chargers? <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="80">1:20</a> ..... Oh wow, there's a AMC GTO! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="90">1:30</a> ...... An AMC BUICK. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="149">2:29</a> ...... Cool!!!! You could get a Javelin with a blown Toyota engine? <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="181">3:01</a> ......

Hot Damn looky here, we done got ourselves a AMC Challenger. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="612">10:12</a> .... another one of them AMC Challengers. The other mixed mashed images were just to numerous to mention. This has to be the worse editing job I have ever seen.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

7:26 that Javelin being able to do 80mph , why thats just unheard of! They werent messing around, they wanted it all!

[@CarmieThompson]

0:19 Showed a pic of the '68 AMX & titled it as a Javelin. Then showed a '71 Javelin & titled it an AMX. After that I knew I was going to be watching $**t. So I quit, stopped the video, gave it a dislike & went somewhere else.

[@ripwreckraceway]

had to share this cool muscle car history

[@TrentmanX]

This video is so terribly made and edited, so low on quality and full of data errors that the creator should delete it out of dignity. They should remake the video, remove all those pictures of non-AMC cars that have nothing to do, get the data corrected, not mix up models like the Javelin and AMX, to mention just a few issues.

[@DavidHall-d8q]

In 1970 my Dad went out to buy a new car . He said he was going to buy a Mustang Mach 1... he came home with a yellow Javelin with a green vinyl top . I was so mad I wouldn't talk to him for 3 days ! But I finally got a ride in the Javelin and I saw what sold him that car . We were going down an on ramp doing about 45 miles per hour and he FLOORED IT ! It SPUN THE TIRES until it shifted into 3rd gear ! It was kinda ugly but it was FAST ! We went to my Grandparents house in it and we were asleep on the interstate except my Mom and woke me up when she floored it . We were doing 105 Mph . Mom had a lead foot . The car was FAST ! PK

[@tedroesch9133]

Someone with an sc used to show up at a little drag strip in Southwest Missouri. Never mind the sweltering heat it always ran "as advertised" times I wanted one.

[@theviking363]

My favorite,401, second choice is the 360 and both I installed in the best AMC model. The AMC CJ5 JEEP. These are nuclear muscle off road. Michigan snow and mud and sand dunes, don't forget the cedar swamp's!..

[@funny0000000]

What is a coor tile mile?

[@ronaldrose6885]

Nice info, but amc and Mopar use the same lifter bore sizes...food for thought.

[@guyhummel2847]

I'm sorry, but the gremlin to me is a sexy car!!😊

[@michaelbyrne8860]

A Good Friends Father had a AMC Dealership in "73" in Elgin Illinois, in "74" they just started selling The Bricklen, a neat car but I think it had a Ford engine and other problems! But unfortunately Nixon took the US off the Gold Standard and the economy blew up! AMC stopped the 2% pledge, based on the value of the new cars on the lot! That most dealerships depended on as operating cash! It was an incentive for dealerships to take as many new car models as possible! Forcing a better sale deal at the end of the year! (August) Never owned the faster AMC's but I did buy my ex bosses wife DL Pacer for $500.00 it was the best used car I've ever bought for $500! It had a 253 good on gas and okay power! The only thing I replaced was the rack & pinion which I bought at a junkyard for $50.00. it was a great car! It shined at drive-ins! You could back it in! And lay the back seat down a couple of pillows and blankets leave it running with AC on in Texas, with the FM Radio modulators it had great sound! TMI! The American Motors made good cars! But they didn't? Or couldn't stay up with the Big 3! And the "70's" was AMC's last gasp! RIP......!

[@RareAutos100]

good video

[@donaldcurtis9229]

Restore it for the second time.I let it sit too long beautiful car

[@robertconklin4657]

All AMC vehicles had fantastic motors. The only real pain Chrysler bought them. Never good at marketing.

[@libertyman3729]

69 Plymouth Roadrunner came with 383cu.in. v-8 and 335 H.P. but the 390 Rebel came with 411 rear gears and positraction which made it faster than the R/R. They are reporting here high 1/4 mile times. Real times were in the 11's. weak point were its rear hubs, they should have put beefed up ones.

[@Mst-bh9ti]

A factory 390 Rebel couldn't run 11s down a Cliff. Come back from delusion land, fanboy.

[@ottodetroit]

i love how the announcer talks about weight in metric terms. I doubt he was even alive in the 60s & 70s

[@nicofouche8876]

Getting the footage off the cars is confusing....you even shove a Pontiac in between the footage as well as some modern car footage as well....

[@rickyriner1226]

Wheres the amx with 401 4spd 410 rear

[@kingfishstevens2087]

11 seconds from 0 to 60 and a 17 second quarter mile is NOT impressive by any means. Unless you’re on a bicycle.

[@markwilkerson-dz8pe]

most of the muscle cars really didn't have to impressive time or handle it was the design with the beginning of horsepower where cars in the 50s 40s were luxury with improved brakes steering air condition cars made life easier not everyone had one that started a after ww2 mustang and Camreo were originally a sport sedan with v 6 late 69 70 was the real horsepower started early 60s aggressive design then the engine design started with the peck horsepower 1970 then gas crunch started cars got smaller again these videos are always fun I've only seen a scrambler once car show

[@MrTheHillfolk]

I'll accept the challenge in my 91 Jetta coupe, it's got the optional 52hp diesel engine.

[@ianhale4466]

The times where impressive back then, but, you can take the same car they tested back then, fill it up with 87 octane (unless it was factory race motor, you need premium), replace the tires with modern radials and tune the motor to the new fuel you added and the thing will turn 14s into 12s, which still isn't impressive for today, but that's with a factory car. You have yet to modify anything and are getting 4k pounds down the strip in 12 secs

[@paullee7161]

Dude. Your numbers are all over the place. At least get the engine size and performance times right.

[@kotjmf1968]

Lots of incorrect information!

[@FrankStein1]

3 minutes into this .... this is terrible. No real research here. Just a bunch of hooey thrown at a screen for making money. You show pictures that aren't amc... you show 401 while ai yaps about a 390. THE MACHINE should never have been listed as number 15 as it was the fastest production car made at the time. Yes a production car!! Yenko and shelby made aftermarket cars . The machine had all production parts ... the difference and only reason not in record books as such is... the production facility in Kenosha did not have room on production line to fit "service performance package " onto vehicle. With that parts group that had to be installed at dealership THE MACHINE would get 1/4 mile in high 10's. No other car could do that from production untill 2000's. It should be number 1 on list. 68 Javelin had 343 in them with " go pack" it would do the 0-60 you mentioned in 8 seconds or less. Not a slow 11. You have SO much wrong with this people will be ignorant after watching it. You will actually steal peoples i.q. points. Do some real research .. get some archived photos if thats all you can get and put together a better video. Maybe try talking to some people that actually owns one or two . Maybe talk to some older race car drivers. 3 minutes in ... ive had enough.

[@RT22-pb2pp]

Just never try to turn 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@markpalmer7832]

Had a V8 gremlin

[@ianhale4466]

I don't know why but numbers have the fudged somewhere along history. If my stock 74 charger with a 318 can hit 100 before 14 seconds, any car passing the finish line at 14 second at 100mph is slow as hell

[@burningblue1254]

I have a 74 Charger Rallye 440 with the torque flite and the optional 3.55 gears. With a performance tune the car ran 15 flat at 92. There is no way your 318 ran 14 at 100. Box stock 14s at 100 mph is SD 455 territory.

[@ianhale4466]

@burningblue1254 haha sorry to break it to ya, 60 in less than 7 seconds, 100 in 13... I sadly have yet to line up with an old mopar, but I stomp scats amd cobras all day long when I take it to Dallas. When I say stock, I mean "stock 90s 318" the one with fuel injection....it is stock, for a 90s pickup lol. with the A518(727 with .69 overdrive gear), with a 4:10 suregrip

[@ianhale4466]

@burningblue1254 you have to understand a stock 440 from 74 has half the cam profile one from the 60s had. A 318 magnum puts up just 30 less horses and at nearly half the rotation mass

[@burningblue1254]

@ianhale4466 Well, you failed to mention this in your initial post. Didn't you?

[@ianhale4466]

@burningblue1254 still a stock 318 lol, in a car that wants to catch fire half the time. His numbers are off

[@johnrobinson5156]

400 units of torque? Is this AI?

[@alanploetz7100]

Quartile mile? Was it a Wooper, or a Whopper? Send your AI back to grade school English.

[@SK-tr9ii]

Hearst made transmissions...REALLY?

At one point showing an engine with modern fuel injection system. Garbage posting.

[@scottbennett3119]

Kilos?

[@bobbywhiteman9421]

Its CAMARO NOT Camero

[@Meaty-ks3kd]

Showing straight 6's when talking about v8s. Top speed of 80mph. Uuuugh. This may be the worst video I have ever seen. Cool cars though.

[@mikeblanchette637]

Why do people make videos like this? It's all wrong. Can't tel the difference between a Charger and a GTO

[@dennislettich4035]

What a truckload of garbage & misinformation! Pictures of cars sprinkled in that make NO SENSE OR HAVE NO RELEVANCE!

[@Sonofaguninmo]

This is an AI hack job. Dont waste your time

[@jeffreymyers3395]

This is a terrible video. 14 second quarter miles was very average to below average. 0 to 60 times of 6 seconds is also very average and was very common with just about every stock 60's super car made by everyone. Lots of aftermarket performance parts were available and needed to make the AMC cars somewhat competitive on a drag strip. Leaf spring rear suspension suffered from excessive wheel hop unless traction bars were installed. It was just easier to order healthy Camaros, Mustangs, Challengers, and Barracudas. Not to mention specialized cars like the Z-28 Camaro, Boss 302 Mustangs, Hemi Dodge and Plymouths, W-31 and W-30 Olds 442s, 396/375 HP Chevelles, Novas, and Camaros. AMC products were slower, handled poorly, rusted, and depreciated at an alarming rate. Most of those competitive supercars ran quarter mile times in the mid 13 to high 12 second range with very little modifications. AMC's were just not that competitve. As a side note, I was born and raised in Kenosha, Wi. and had direct experience with every single AMC product that was talked about in these videos. 3 of 10 super cars on the streets were AMC products, and the staff engineers knew how to modify their cars and produce very impressive horsepower numbers. However, the guys and gals in Kenosha that knew the performance market rarely bought AMC products. This unfortunately was a sign that the company was in trouble going forward.

[@ericchristensen4107]

So incorrect from a Kenosha kid. All the car mags of the time raved about AMC’s handling including Rebel,Hornet,AMX,and Javelin. Any of those cars will run the times you state with similar mods.

[@Mst-bh9ti]

While the times here are often wrong, most muscle cars of the era could not break 14 seconds. Additionally, tests showing ones that did often ran 4:11 or lower rear ends And thus comparatively low top speeds. Exceptions, big block corvettes, Hemi Cuda/Challengers and such.

[@jeffreymyers3395]

@@ericchristensen4107 Eric, This Kenosha kid actually worked on, rode in, and drove many AMC supercars that you read about in car magazines. I'm 74 years young and was very familiar with performance cars of the super car era and I was quite capable of making Javelins, AMX's, Hornets, Rambler Scramblers (Rambler Americans with 390 cu. in engines) run somewhat strong- low 13's and high 12's. It took a lot of cubic money to get a AMC super car into the 11's and high 10's. I had a front row seat to those good old days of performance cars.

[@tom-c1j2p]

WHY ARE THEY SO STUPID GIVING SO MUCH WRONG INFORMATION

[@curtwatters4395]

Stupid video, by an uniformed host. The fastest AMC Drag Car's were the Super Stock AMX's (52 made) The fastest top speed AMC's were the Penske/ Donahue Javelins of Trans Am fame. AMC never made a fast car after 1974, He did not even mention the Randle enterprises 401 Gremlins. All AMC's came with smooth running camshafts (can you say Taxicab) A camshaft change with a set of Headers was worth 50 to 75 Horsepower making the AMC engines competitive with anyone!

[@wendellworth353]

They built nothing but crap.

[@alabamas1373]

Liters? You're talking about American Motors and, of course, American cars that AMC made. You measure torque in liters? What is 430 "Units"? Hey, lets throw in a random shot of a Mustang! You misspelled Camaro. I despise AI narration...

[@anthonynicholich9654]

Ferrari was not only made to go straight it was a track car so just because that thing was lower geared and faster than a Ferrari it was a piece of shit in every other way

[@brunodobia9223]

Any thing is faster than a Ferrari 😂
