Vehicle Description
In the annals of automotive history, certain models stand as icons
of their era, encapsulating the spirit and innovation of their
time. The 1968 AMC AMX is one such legendary creation, a testament
to American engineering prowess and raw driving excitement. Crafted
in limited numbers, with only 6,725 examples gracing the roads
during its inaugural year, each AMX emerged from the factory as a
unique masterpiece, bearing its own distinctive production number
and dash plaque.
This particular specimen, a marvel of automotive heritage, is a
Factory Ordered 390 4V Go Pack, a designation that sets it apart as
a true enthusiast's dream. The Go Pack configuration encompasses a
host of performance-enhancing features, including a Twin Grip rear
differential, dual exhaust system, disc brakes for commanding
stopping power, and a striking ensemble of racing stripes that
accentuates its sleek lines. Nestled beneath the hood lies a potent
powerplant, ready to unleash its formidable prowess at the
slightest provocation.
Originally equipped with a floor shift automatic transmission, this
AMX has been lovingly transformed into a 4-speed manual, amplifying
the connection between driver and machine for an unparalleled
driving experience. The purr of its dual exhaust, punctuated by
chrome tips, serves as a symphony to enthusiasts' ears, a melodic
reminder of its untamed potential awaiting on open roads.
Adorned with American Motors Chrome Rally Wheels, this AMX exudes
an aura of timeless elegance, while its Matador Red paint,
resplendent in the sunlight, evokes a sense of nostalgia for a
bygone era of automotive excellence. The addition of white racing
stripes adds a touch of aggression, hinting at the untamed spirit
that lies beneath its polished exterior.
Inside, the black interior upholstery provides a striking contrast
to the vibrant exterior, offering a sanctuary for driver and
passengers alike. Despite the passage of time, the mostly original
interior presents itself with pride, a testament to the care and
attention lavished upon this rare gem.
Equipped with power steering and power brakes, this AMX
effortlessly navigates the twists and turns of the open road,
offering a driving experience that is both exhilarating and
refined. Whether carving through winding mountain passes or
cruising along sun-dappled highways, the AMX delivers a symphony of
sensory delights that captivates the soul.
With its original trunk mat and space-saving spare tire intact,
this AMX stands as a paragon of authenticity, a time capsule of
automotive history preserved for future generations to admire.
Impeccably maintained and meticulously cared for, it stands as a
testament to the enduring legacy of American Motors and the
timeless allure of the AMX marque.
In conclusion, this 1968 American Motors AMX represents more than
