Vehicle Description
With big V8 power, four-on-the-floor, upgraded four-wheel disc
brakes, a super-sleek style, and absolute rarity, this 1968 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 look - it's a very elegant car. But this also
has an unmistakable sporty side. The factory-correct Matador Red
paint has a glossy finish from a clearcoat respray later in life,
and so it takes an aggressive tone to show off some of the details.
The full-length dual racing stripes painted over the top, double
power bulges in the hood, flared fenders, and iconic set of
Keystone Klassic wheels make this a classic that instantly
announces it's a muscle machine.
Those black racing stripes are also a preview of the full black
interior. As an original first-year AMX, there's only seating for
two people, but they get plenty of space and comfort. There are
very vintage features, like the factory door panels with wood-like
trim and classic AMC dash with factory AM radio still on display.
But what you'll really like is how this remains a muscle car that
speaks to the driver. A grippy three-poke sports steering, full
gauges w/tach, and B&M T-handle floor shifter are all there to
get your enthusiast heart pumping a little faster.
When you pop the hood, you see AMC's big 390 cubic-inch V8. As a
true X-code car, it's great to see the largest available AMX motor
still in the engine bay. You can tell they put some serious
investment in this powerhouse so that the correct turquoise had an
extra-glossy presentation that's ready to show off. And if you look
a little closer, you'll also see that they upgraded the power with
a Edelbrock Torker intake painted to match and a Holley four-barrel
carburetor on top. This V8 is a strong runner that makes a nice
tune out of the Flowmaster dual exhaust. And you have proper
control over it with the four-speed manual transmission. And
speaking of control, this has upgraded stopping power of four-wheel
power disc brakes.
AMC only produced around 6,725 AMXs this inaugural model year, 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
