“(The AMC Javelin and AMX) were very handsome cars. They look great on the road. They were fine, and they still look today. They’ve held up very well. But I was in Pontiac at that time, and I was worried about what was going on in Chevrolet down the hall. I wanted my Firebirds to beat their Camaros that I didn’t really look at AMX or anybody else that much. I didn’t even take a look at Ford, because, you know, Chevy was right in my face. . . . (M)y problem was the Camaros were out selling Firebirds two-to-one and the Pontiac dealers were screaming and hollering.”
