Spotsbimmer, essentially you're corrrect, of course. But the 1968/69 AMX (besides being 12" shorter than the Javelin) also had a different hood, grill, and rear 1/4 panel (including "C" pillar). Along with standard torque links aka "traction bars".
That being said, the difference between the ride and handling (and general performance) between the two cars would very nearly be like comparing a Limited Crossfire to a Sebring.
Your analogy is one that would probably be made by many, and one that would rub the "average" AMX owner the wrong way. (good thing all the Crossfire/AMX owners on this forum are anything but average).
