1968 AMC AMX
For consignment, a 1968 AMC AMX with a title verified 39,560 actual miles, owned by our consignor since 2011 and during his ownership, he has replaced the interior, fuel system, rear suspension, brake system, Magnum 500 wheels, rubber seals, as well as restored the trunk, lights, and chrome.
Exterior
Classic Black is augmented by painted red stripes on our car which travel over the hood, across the roof, and down onto the trunk. The front bumper is sculpted and cut to fit around the headlights and form the bottom edge of the grille, and house large, round driving lights. The unique hood bulges rise to the outside and taper back and are enhanced with five faux louvers on each side. The metal door handles are distinctly AMC, flat tabs that are flush with the door, and the side mirrors are beautifully chromed with a ridge design around the perimeter. The car's substantial rear wing rises high above simple horizontal tail lights that flank a red band to complete the bar, and a straight, chrome bumper sits above two protruding straight tailpipes. 14-inch Magnum 500 wheels provide an appropriately sporty look to this 2 seat muscle car. Imperfections are limited to a dent in the lower edge behind a rear wheel, and some body work and underlying bubbling in the driver's lower rear quarter panel.
Interior
Vertical pleats in the insert of the black vinyl door panels where a large armrest and door pull piece as well as metallic hardware and both doors present in clean condition. Turn those pleats sideways and that's the style of the seat inserts on the tall bucket black seats, both also in great shape. The rear of the car is covered in black low pile carpet and speakers are mounted on the upper panel. The 3 spoke steering wheel leads to a textured plastic dash where gauges are inset and in direct sightline to the driver. In the center stack, a perforated panel provides a speaker, while an AMX plate and AM radio live a bit further down on the stack. A T handled Hurst shifter rises from the floor that is covered nicely with black carpet and protected by bright red AMX branded floor mats. A ribbed headliner tops an interior that is in fine condition.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, we find a very clean 290ci V8, rated at 200 horsepower and topped with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor on an Offenhauser intake manifold between chrome valve covers. Colored wire loom tubes dress up the engine bay and along with the red ignition wires, retain some of the AMC brand colors. A Borg Warner T10 4-speed manual transmission sends power to the AMC 20 axle in back while drum brakes on all four wheels slow the momentum. Per our consignor, power steering has been added.
Undercarriage
Clean, dry, minimal surface rust, and dual exhaust that flow from headers to a pair of Flowmaster mufflers before heading out back. Suspension is made up of coil springs in front and leaf springs in back.
Drive-Ability
The 290 announces its vitality through the dual exhaust as soon as it ignites, and off we go onto the test loop. The interior feels almost showroom fresh and the car tracks as well as it probably did in 1968 when the first owner took delivery. Power is good and handling is nice and the drum brakes do their job. We're happy to report that all functions on board including lights, gauges, horn, vents, and others all work as they are intended to. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
If you're not part of the ardent AMC crowd, we encourage you to consider signing up and this AMX is a great way to get initiated! These are interesting cars that were produced for just three years with less than 20,000 units in existence. A two seater from a now orphan American brand with unique lines in a relatively rare model. Sounds like the results of the "experiment" were a success!
