For Sale: 1968 AMC AMX in Lutz, Florida

This 1968 AMC AMX represents the first year of a performance car revolution at AMC. So it's great to find an example that keeps the vintage details and a terrific driver attitude. And the affordable price is just the cherry on top.


The AMX was an individual sports car on a shortened Javelin platform, and the rare bespoke bodywork from the A-pillar back is looking straight and sporty. Plus, these had the best details around with ribbed power bulges in the hood, flared fenders, mag wheels, ribbed rockers, and a hint of flying buttress in the rear to draw added attention to the fastback-like profile. It's truly a classic presentation where the color was even upgraded to a year-correct Calcutta Russet later in life. It has the right look of aged-in maturity. So while you may want to invest in a modern respray, we already kind of like how many people will assume this is a factory/survivor. Part of that feeling also comes from the completeness with form-hugging chrome bumpers, wide grille, and all the correct badging.


The interior continues the look of a true classic machine. The full tan package looks good against the exterior brown. And there are nice details, including the wood-like trim on the doors and working courtesy lights. It's such an authentic vintage machine that you still have a working AM radio with 8-track! But the real attraction is that the AMX was specifically built to be a driver's car. That's why there's only room for two, and you each get a bucket seat. The center console, three-spoke steering wheel, and full gauge package is both stock and sporty.


Under the hood is the correct-style 290 cubic-inch motor for this N-code coupe. AMC's V8 has earned a reputation for being both trusty and powerful. And while the setup is quite stock, underneath the air grabber is an upgraded Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor to let this V8 inhale deeper. It fires up readily, idles well, and makes a sweet tune out of the dual exhaust. It's a cool classic that you'll want to show off, and so this has nice anytime driving features such as the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs.


Unique muscle cars that are this complete don't come around very often, and they are rarely this affordable. Don't miss your opportunity, call today!
