I remember the Gremlin, Pacer vaguely the Javeline never knew AMC had so many models. Here in the south it was Ford, Chevy

The AMX ultimately became the Javelin, when the raw muscle cars of the 70's weren't selling to the people who had the money to buy cars. All the models, the GTO, the Firebird, the Camero, and even the Corvette were "dumbed" down to a new class of buyer. At the same time EPA emission controls had choked most muscle cars into oblivion. By 1985, muscle cars in the raw form were dead. Ironically, at the same time, NASCAR race cars started to lose their identity as real cars. Today, NASCAR race cars don't even share a single bolt, nut or screw with a civilian car. NASCAR is all just fantasy today, and when you add in 'resrictor plates', it really exposes NASCAR for what it is, for what really attracts fans...WRECKS!
Restrictor plates cause wrecks. Period. This is what draws viewers in...WRECKS. Oh, but NASCAR is a whole other post, now isn't it?
