Vehicle Description
Big V8 power, low production numbers, and true muscle car fun is
the calling card for the 1970 AMC AMX. And this example really
maximizes your nostalgia by being a highly original example that
even has exceptionally low actual miles and single family
ownership.
This was the final year for the AMX as a separate model on its
sporty short wheelbase. And of the short three-year production run,
1970 has its own distinct style. So you're already looking at quite
a desirable machine for its history, and that's even before you dig
into the details. This car is on an actual miles title. That's
exceptionally rare to see over half a century later, but it does
mean you get to showcase how this one has less mileage than some
cars that are only a few years old. This is part of a larger
package that impresses with its originality. The Golden Lime
Metallic shows all the right signs of being the original applied by
the Kenosha factory. It still has a good gloss and a metallic
radiance, but the overall body is not perfect... and you don't
really want it to be. Part of this car's charm is the areas that
have earned respect over the years. And all the best sporty details
are still in place. This includes the hood scoop, form-hugging
chrome bumpers, crisp AMX emblems on the sail panels, bright dual
exhaust tips, ribbed rockers, and Magnum 500 wheels with American
Motors center caps. Plus, the unique rear end treatment of the
shorter wheelbase is highlighted further by the black C-channel
stripe that runs up the fastback profile.
The black stripe is also a preview of the black interior. As an
original AMX, there's only room for two people, but they get plenty
of space and comfort. Bucket seats, a center console, crisp door
panels, and plush carpeting make this inviting. And details like
the working courtesy lights and plenty of wood-like trim really
make this a nice time capsule. Even the space-saver tire in the
trunk is correct! So just like the exterior, it's not perfect
inside, but it impresses with its vintage charm. And because
originality is a high priority, the sale even comes with a proper
factory panel to replace the AM/FM/CD stereo if you want to add a
stock unit. Best of all, this AMX is a true driver's car. That's
why you have great features like the classic sports steering wheel,
a large speedo/tach, and Shift Command great selector that lets you
take full control when you want.
Under the hood is AMC's big 360 cubic-inch V8. This has the right
production date to be the original powerhouse for this low-mileage
car. You can tell there have been some nice investments here, but
nothing that takes it away from a stock style. You just have
radiant blue block paint, tidy plug wires, and a clean overall
presentation. Even the American Motors washer fluid bag is present.
There is an updated Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and that's
part of the upgrading that keeps this a strong-running coupe, but
the included components also have a stock carb for those who
cherish originality. This is a true classic muscle car that likes
you to feel the road. Still, features like the three-speed
automatic transmission, power brakes, and wide Goodyear tires help
keep this classic a proper cruiser.
This is the rare 1970 AMX that also has a cool sweepstakes history,
and we even have photos, title documentation, and maintenance
records to help tell that part of the story. So when you get this
much power, rarity, and originality all offered for such a nice
price, you know you need to hurry on this deal. Call today!!!
