The "Big Bad AMX" was available in orange green and blue. Another available option was a Hurst Competition Plus shifter for the Borg-Warner four speed manual transmission. An interesting option was the AMX SS. It was basically a legalized drag racing car built by Hurst. The 390 engine was topped by a pair of 650 cfm Holley four-barrels on an Edelbrock aluminum cross-ram intake. Doug's headers and other modifications. Horsepower was conservative advertised at 340 bhp. The Hurst version cost $5994 or nearly twice the regular sticker price of the base AMX.
