The AMX is a TRUE American Sports Car that is also has low production numbers. Only 6,725 1968 AMX’s were built, and the 2-seater version was only produced from 1968 to 1970 with total production of 19,134 cars. This was the height of the Performance car era and the AMX was a standout being called by journalist one of the best looking, if not the best looking car made in the USA. Being introduced at the Daytona International Speedway in February 1968 and also partnered with Playboy enterprises to introduce the AMX to dealers. This AMX is number 860 of the 6,725 AMX’s built; just think this is one of the FIRST AMX’s off the assembly line.
This AMX originated from sunny California and the body was stripped to bare metal (see pic) during the restoration. Added touches were the Front and Rear Mark Donahue Spoilers. The paint color is as unique as the AMX and is from the Dave Kendig Akzo Nobel Line and the color is officially called “Bruised”. The color looks like a pearl color, but is easy to refinish if there is a blemish.
The interior on the AMX is in good condition and appears to be completely original. The only defects are some cracking on the steering wheel and a crack in the center of the dash. The miles showing are 83,835 and could easily be actual, but cannot be verified and sold as exempt. The only items that we want to mention that are not working properly are the gas
gauge
(the gauge itself needs replaced) and the horn is not working.
The original engine in the AMX was replaced with a rebuilt 390 CU IN engine that is mated to the very popular 4-speed manual transmission. The engine runs out strong and the AMX performs excellent. Power gets to the ground VIA a Posi-Trac rear end. The OEM 14” Rallye Wheels with white lettered tires complete the Factory Performance appeal.
