Vehicle Description
One look at this 1970 AMC AMX, and you can tell it was restored by
an enthusiast. It has a slick appearance, ultra-desirable Go
Package, and it's original 360 V8 under the hood. So while any AMC
product will standout at the car show, this amazing and affordable
coupe is a pure stunner, too.
This was the final year for the AMX as a separate model on its
sporty short wheelbase. And of the short three-year production run,
1970 has its own distinct style. So you're already looking at quite
a desirable machine for its history, and that's even before you dig
into the details. This car was actually hidden away for nearly half
its life, sitting in a barn for 23 years. It was resurrected in
2006, and because there was plenty of paperwork to go with it, a
thorough and correct restoration began. The Commodore Blue Metallic
paint has a great level of luster from the modern clearcoat. Plus,
the unique rear end treatment of the shorter wheelbase is
highlighted further by the C-channel stripe that runs up the
fastback profile. And you'll love the details, too, with bright
chrome bumpers, crisp AMX emblems on the sail panels, and Magnum
500 wheels with American Motors center caps.
The appealing blue continues on the inside to give this whole coupe
the appeal of a deep blue ocean. Most AMXs are known to be
two-person sports cars, so you'll want to pay special attention to
those seats. Because if you fold up the armrest, you'll discover
that in-between those individual buckets is a rare middle seat.
This AMX has a nice air of '70s-style sophistication with plenty of
wood paneling on the doors, dash, and steering wheel. Plus, the
instruments are housed in deep individual pods that give the large
speedo and tach a hint of European sophistication. And we know
you'll love how everything looks correct, right down to the floor
shifter and AM radio that's still on display. Even the space-saver
tire in the trunk is correct!
When you pop the hood, you'll see AMC's big 360 cubic-inch V8.
According to the consignor, this is the original motor, and you can
tell they took their time during restoration to really make it look
terrific. That's why the paint is so bold, you have all the correct
decals, and even the American Motors washer fluid bag is present.
And yes, this is a true Go Package machine with the scoops in the
hood force-feeding the special air intake that seals to the hood.
And more than just authenticity, according to the consignor, this
V8 was rebuilt in 2010 and includes ported & polished heads, roller
rockers, and a mild camshaft. It has only gone about 3,000 miles
since then, so you have an ideal mix of power and freshness. The
large Edelbrock 600 CFM four-barrel carburetor lets this AMX inhale
deeply, and it exhales with authority out of the Flowmaster dual
exhaust. And you have complete control over this powerful V8 and
its thunderous soundtrack thanks to the stout "Rock Crusher"
transmission - a Muncie M22 four-speed manual. Plus, wide Bf
Goodrich T/As and front disc brakes keep this muscular AMC under
your control.
This is quite a rare machine (possibly less than 1,000 optioned
like this.) So it comes with terrific paperwork like the original
warranty card, owner's manual, reproduction window sticker, and
restoration photos. So when you get this much power, rarity, and
investment all offered for such a nice price, you know you need to
hurry on this deal. Call today!!!
