You're right Tony, the AMX was basically a Javelin with a 12" section removed just behind the B pillar, where the rear seat would be. Different 1/4 panels, roof line, grill, and hood. The AMX "scooped" hood was an option on the 70 Javelin.
With a wheel base a foot shorter than the Javelin, its handling and manuverability was completely different. Nearly as different as your Crossfire is compared to your Firebird. Of course the Crossfire with its IRS is more refined than the AMX could ever be with a solid axle.
