(Please note: If you happen to be viewing this vehicle on a website
other than our main website, it's possible that only some of our
many photographs of this car are not presented due to website
limitations. To be sure you access all the photographs, please go

honored to bring this rare, original, and sought-after AMX to
market. American Motors only produced the AMX as a 2-seater muscle
car from 1968 to 1970. Compared to its rivals of the day, it was a
smaller car but was offered with a big, 315 horsepower, 390 cubic
inch motor. Let's just say it was hard to keep up with one in any
other vehicle. The example offered here is an award winner, the
staple of a local collection, and has just 5,279 original miles and
remains all original. This 1969 AMC AMX is finished in factory
original Bittersweet Orange (code 79A) paint over the original
Saddle (code 936F) interior. It remains original from top to
bottom. The paint, which appears like a Copper color, shows
characteristics of factory paint of that time period. It is a non
clear coat metallic and shows typical factory orange peel, but
overall remains in excellent original condition. The fit and finish
on the body panels are clean and accident free. Original chrome and
trim are also flawless. On the inside you'll find a time capsule.
Highlights include all original upholstery, original carpeting,
original headliner, original headrests, AM radio, 8000rpm
tachometer, floor stick shift with reverse lock out, and a 140mph
speedometer. The dashboard is mint with wood accents and the AMX
badge down the middle, stating this car is number 8,212. Under the
hood, we find the heartbeat of this AMX. This car was ordered with
the X Code 390ci/315hp 4bbl V8, AMC's most powerful engine, and it
has only 5,279 miles recorded on it. According to the paperwork we
have, the motor was mechanically gone through in 2006. The
underside is also original and consistent with the car's low
mileage. All together, you won't find a cleaner AMX. This is a true
collector car. This vehicle was the pride and joy of a high end
collection here in West Michigan. This car was the clear favorite,
stored with two car covers. It is a low-mileage, original AMX with
limited numbers produced. It has been judged and has taken home
several trophies for originality. You will be hard pressed to find
another one like it. Be sure to check out all the photos and video
