2,183 delivered new with 390/4-speed combination number 8293 of the
total run 1969 American Motors AMX It is no secret that AMC always
marched to a different drummer when it came to styling and
innovation. Unfortunately, that drummer's tune wasn't what the
majority of the buying public wanted to dance to. So, a lot of
unique and ingenious ideas and engineering didn't make it into
enough garages to keep the company afloat, too bad. One of those
ideas was the AMX of the late 60's and 70. As performance oriented
two seater there really wasn't the historical provenance to compete
with the Corvette and the styling was just a bit too radical for
mainstream America. With that here is an outstanding example of AMC
performance and style with some great options, colors, and detail.
The engine is a 390 V8 that is channeled through a smooth shifting
4 speed tranny and a Posi rear end. There is power steering and
power disc brakes that make it fun and easy to drive. If you're
looking for something different to use on cruise night or still
remember Mark Donohue and the Red, White, and Blue jackets of AMC
Racing you gotta' own this car. Features 390 V8 that is strong and
smooth Steering Wheel manual 4 speed Transmission with factory
HURST floor Shifter Performance Tuned Dual Exhaust with headers and
flowmaster mufflers with chrome tips, Pedal Ease Power Front Disc
Brakes with Rear Drums in great shape. Finished in Freshly Buffed

Space saver spare with inflator bottle and trunk mat finish out the

with 4 speeds, you just don't see them often. This one is an
excellent example of the daring of AMC during the Muscle Car Era
and is much rarer than most Camaros or Mustangs. Dare to be
different. Interior • Individually adjustable reclining bucket
