NATIONAL '74 AMC AMX REGISTRY

Growing daily, updated often, and founded in June 2006, this is the homepage of the '74 AMC AMX Registry. It focuses on the American Motors Corporation 1974 Javelin AMX, of which over 4,980 were built (1884 304's, 2320 360's, and 776 401's).

Listing pages are set up so that you can view all of the '74 AMX’s in the registry, including paint codes, build dates, options, pictures, engine and trans, etc. Complete VINs and personal information is not and will not be made public (although some members choose to allow their first name, last initial and email to be displayed).

What can be registered? Almost anything. This includes active AMX’s along with parts cars and previously owned vehicles. In the future we will also include build sheets and window stickers. If it has to do with a '74 AMX and it has a V.I.N. or build information on it, then it can be registered.

So most importantly, come on in, have a look around, and enjoy the site!
