Part of the fun and mystique of owning collector cars whether they are muscle cars, sports cars, hot rods or rat rods are the stories behind them. The stories about how they were acquired, about the breakdowns, about the special trips and especially about the people encountered along the way. The Mission of our site is about helping you make your car a Legend.

Craig Breedlove and AMX Set World 24 Hour Speed Record

Since we are about to have our Barn Find Project AMX back on the road I thought is might be time for a little history lesson.

1971 AMC Javelin Road Test

AMX Photo Archive; Book Review

Since we are doing an AMX Project Car I thought it would be good to take a look back at the historical beginning of the AMX. One of the most famous cars was this pink 1968 AMX given to Playboy Playmate Angela Dorian. Every AMX has a dash plaque with the cars number on it. [...]
