Vehicle Description
With big power, four-on-the-floor, a super-sleek style, and
absolute rarity, this 1969 AMC AMX is the kind of classic muscle
machine that will always have distinction and desirability.
Those initial few years when the AMX was its smaller wheelbase was
truly magical. They created an American grand touring coupe with a
long hood and an elegant fastback style. And this also shows off
one of the most thoughtful designs from Dick Teague. Crisp fender
lines, a flying buttress rear, and chrome bumpers that are
integrated into the overall design - this is a very elegant car. In
fact, the Copper Metallic paint seems to really enhance the
sophistication while also showing off the straight and complete
sheetmetal. But this elegance also has an immediate sense of speed.
The sports car chin spoiler, double power bulges in the hood, dual
racing stripes, flared fenders, and iconic Cragar Eliminator wheels
make this a classic that instantly announces it's a muscle
machine.
As an original AMX, there's only seating for two people, but they
get plenty of space and comfort. In fact, these have high-back
bucket seats borrowed from a later model car. So you get terrific
bolstering and even a driver's fold-down armrest. There are very
vintage features, like the factory door panels with wood-like trim
and classic AMC dash. Even the factory A/C controls are still in
place (it will need components and serving to return the function.)
There's an old-school AM/FM/cassette stereo that continues the
vintage vibe. But what you'll really like is how this has been
upgraded to better speak to the driver. That means a wood-rimmed
sports steering wheel, Hurst T-handle shifter, and upgraded gauge
package with auxiliary readout trio and handy column-mounted
AutoMeter tach.
When you pop the hood, you see AMC's big 390 cubic-inch V8. This
was the largest displacement to go in the AMX, and so it's great to
see this one correctly upgraded here. And since they were in the
mood for upgrading, they also gave it go-fast goodies like a Holley
four-barrel carburetor, Offenhauser intake, and a set of long tube
headers feeding the rumbling dual exhaust. They even have nice
supporting components, like the Accel distributor, ribbed Edelbrock
valve covers, and a large aluminum radiator. It all makes for a big
motor that's also a strong runner. Best of all, you get full
control over this V8 and its powerful soundtrack thanks to the
four-speed manual transmission. And while this is a great muscle
car, you'll also enjoy nice anytime driving features such as the
power steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide Cooper Cobra
tires.
AMC only produced around 8,300 AMXs in 1969, and how many do you
think survived to look this good? When something so unique and
powerful is up for grabs, you know you need to hurry on this deal.
