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
