Why it matters
The Super Stock AMX was a purpose-built drag racing car made by Hurst for AMC in 1969, the factory's answer to Hurst-built Super Stock Darts and Barracudas. It was sold to racing-minded dealers and was never intended for the street.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionSuper Stock AMXs sent to Hurst | 521,2 | Factory production | Registry reported |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
AMC contracted Hurst to build two special cars, the SC/Rambler and the SS/AMX. AMC approached dealers known for racing to see if they would commit to buying a car built only for the strip. Production is given as 52 cars, though conceptcarz elsewhere says just 55 are believed built.
One car, number 18 of 52, won the AHRA Summer Drag Nationals in 1969 and was runner-up in S/S Eliminator with a world record of 11.08 seconds at 127.11 mph.

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
All cars were built the same way from a bare-bones 1969 AMX with a 390 cubic-inch engine: a large hood scoop, dual quad induction on a special manifold, heavy-duty clutch and bellhousing, modified cylinder heads, relocated battery, modified suspension and an altered wheelbase. The example documented here has a red, white and blue paint scheme. They are not street legal.
