Legacy
The AMX GT provided several clues to future production models and options. The most immediate were the optional side pipes for 1969 Javelins and AMXs. A slightly modified version of the show car's hood scoop became part of the factory production 1970 "GO Package" option on Javelins and AMXs in 1970. The flat black "shadow mask" paint also became an option on the 1970 AMXs. The AMX GT's truncated tail treatment reappeared in 1970 on the Gremlin subcompact. The design, an example of Teague's approach to maximizing AMC's limited resources, resulted in a new version from an existing automobile platform.
