Why it matters
The Breedlove edition honours the record-setting driver Craig Breedlove, whom AMC hired to prove the AMX with speed and endurance runs. He broke more than 100 records in the cars, including a 24-hour average speed of 130 mph, against an earlier record of 103 mph.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colour productionestimated Breedlove AMXs sold | 501 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
AMC hired Craig Breedlove to set speed and endurance records in the cars at places such as the Bonneville Salt Flats, and he broke over 100 records. Conceptcarz lists a Craig Breedlove options package in its Javelin entry for 1969 with simulated exhaust rocker mountings and a rooftop spoiler.
