That's a bbaadd AMX! =)
That's some bbaadd information.
It's a Javelin, not an AMX. (Common confusion). AMX was 12 inches shorter in the wheelbase, had a completely different roof line, different hood, different grill, and only two seats. HOWEVER, they shared enough components to be confusing to the those who were not particularly interested in what AMC was up to in their greasy back-alley garages, so you're forgiven.
AMC sales suffered from a lack of direction in the marketing department, and they foolishly contributed to the problem by attaching the AMX badge to the top-of-the-line Javelin for 1971, when the two seat AMX was dropped.
This was THE BEST AMC AD EVER. Unfortunately, it seems to be lost to history, as I have scoured the web for years trying to find it with no luck. If any samples of the original existed anywhere, it would certainly be posted somewhere. For that reason, the OP is forgiven for getting the story wrong. The son returns home (presumably from college, since he didn't do all of these mods in an afternoon) and the father asks what happened to the Javelin he and his wife had bought for the boy. When the son explains that it IS the Javelin they gave him, dad goes ballistic, calls for mom to come outside, and declares, "I want your mother to see how you butchered your car." The son replies, "Butchered?!?!? Dad, it's a great car, I just made it better!" The announcer comes in with the tag line, "The Javelin. Some love it for what it is. Some love it for what it can be." By the way, all of the mods on the car were available from AMC's 'Group 19' performance catalog.
