Vehicle Description
AMC was quite a corporate automotive rebel during its time on the
scene, and while some of their offerings may have veered a little
too far from the norm for many buyers' tastes, their muscle cars
were distinctive as opposed to flat out eccentric and have come
through the years with perennially appealing designs and an
unflagging legion of admirers. Case in point is this 1969 AMC AMX
with the Go Package. It's looking sharp, running with plenty of
vitality and carries its original colors both inside and outside to
go along with a numbers-matching drivetrain.
AMC's flair for the unique extended even to the naming of its
colors, and the very magnetic shade spread over its exterior was
referred to as Big Bad Blue on the AMC color chart back when this
'69 debuted. Its Go Package status brings with it the dual striped
decals running over its hood, roof and deck lid, as well as the
aluminum air dam positioned below its front end, both of which have
come through the years in good condition. With its solid exterior
alignment, wide set headlights bracketing a fresh-looking black
front grille and a distinctive semi-fastback rear roofline, this
'60s muscle car cuts a commanding presence just as it is, but a
freshening up of its paint, as well as some well-placed attention
on its brightwork, would make it even more so.
The black vinyl interior offers just the vintage driving atmosphere
you'd want in a classic like this, while also featuring some of the
individuality AMC became known for over the years. The front
buckets are accented by a diagonal stitching and are well padded
and in good condition, with the exception of a very small hole in
the driver's seat. The black carpeting running the length of the
floor, as well as the door panels to each side, are in very solid
condition. The unmistakable sight of the Hurst shifter sitting
between the buckets makes you want to take your position in the
driver's seat and run through the gears to see what this unique
looking muscle car can do. In front of the woodgrain, AMC-branded
steering wheel, the factory gauges in the instrument cluster are
clear and very readable and the commanding woodgrain accent in the
middle of the clean-looking dash looks fresh and well-maintained.
The trunk area in back looks to be in good order and well-detailed
with a vinyl liner on its floor and a space saver spare on hand
inside.
This AMX is very much ready to hit the road just as soon as you get
it home, as it's running great. The numbers matching 343 cubic inch
Typhoon engine under the hood still carries its original Carter
4-barrel carb and acquits itself well - when you step down on the
accelerator it even seems to possess more than its advertised 285
horsepower. It sounds great through its Flowtech mufflers, and
teams with an also-original 4-speed manual transmission that shifts
securely and puts maximum control in the hands of the driver. Front
disc brakes offer increased fade resistance, the 4.10 Twin Grip
posi provides blazing, sure footed off the line acceleration, while
the featured handling package improves corner carving ability. This
sharp looking classic rolls on a set of 14" stock AMC wheels
wrapped with bias ply Firestone tires. The underside has been
painted and its components look very solid and well-prepped.
