The AMX debuted in 1968 and was the first steel-bodied, two-seat American production
sports car since the 1957 Ford Thunderbird. American Motors created the AMX (American
Motors eXperimental) by slicing a foot out of its Javelin body, eliminating the rear
seat, and making it a true two-seat sports car. In an effort to promote the new AMX to
the high-performance market, American Motors hired five-time world land speed record
holder Craig Breedlove to challenge the existing national and international speed records.
He went on to break 106 records in a modified AMX 290, including an average speed of 141 mph
for 24 hours, compared with the previous record of 102 mph.

This stunning one-of-a-kind vehicle is a one-of-a-kind factory replica of
Breedlove's AMX and it was given away as part of an S.C. Johnson & Son contest
and American Motors Corporation promotion on June 1, 1969 at Mosport Race Track
in Oshawa, Ontario to Mrs. Muriel Sillen of Whitby, Ontario Canada.
