They checked all the boxes on this one! It literally has almost
every option offered from air conditioning, tilt, Am-Fm to the Go
Pac, ps, pdb, and more. It even has the dealer upgraded Group 19
performance package. This gem has been collector owned most of its
life. Completely restored in 1992 and has only 4,000 miles since.
It looks like it was restored last week! It was given the cover
shot and 5 page spread in Muscle Cars magazine.
EXTERIOR: What a great looking car! The bold grill, dual bulged
hood and a fastback roof line gave it an aggressive look. It was
designed to attract sports car and muscle car lovers. It was
stripped to bare metal, it's a rust free body. It's straight with
no damage and it fits right. Repainted its original Matador Red
color. It is polished to a smooth glossy finish. The Go Pac
includes the over the top stripes and Wide Oval redline tires. The
tires are new and are wrapped around chrome Magnum wheels. All the
chrome and trim are straight and shiny. The grill and taillight are
in in great shape.
INTERIOR: I feel the nostalgia while sitting in the interior. It is
in excellent shape and mostly still original! It's decked out with
options: rally pack which includes a tachometer and gauges, it also
has factory AM/FM radio, a tilt wheel and a convenience group
including a remote mirror and electric wipers. The dash area is in
great unabused condition: the knobs, dash pad, lenses, vents still
look great. The carpet down on the floor is in excellent shape and
fits really well. Of course, the best part is the Hurst 4-speed
shifter sticking out of the floor. It has reclining bucket seats;
the upholstery is in excellent shape. The original door panels look
to be really nice as well as the original waffle print headliner.
There is no back seat, does it qualify as a sports car?
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is loaded with options making it
extremely desirable! It has its original 390-315 hp motor, the
biggest powerplant AMC offered. It also features dealer installed
Group 19 performance upgrades: Edelbrock R4B aluminum intake,
hotter cam, chrome air cleaner and a flex fan. This motor was
completely rebuilt and Dyno tuned. The motor is also decked out
with factory chrome valve covers which still has the tag attached
that connects this motor to this car. It also has a new 650
Edelbrock carb with electric choke, electronic ignition and date
coded reproduction wires. The factory air conditioning which is
rare with a 4-speed in any muscle car. It also has power steering
and power brakes which makes driving so much easier. Upgraded
aluminum radiator. All the components look clean and proper. It has
the washer fluid bag, optional electric wipers and the squirters
are hooked up. The underside of the hood, fender wells and firewall
are all nicely painted to body color. This engine compartment is
well appointed, looks absolutely fantastic and performs even better
than it looks!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: When opening the trunk, you will notice that the
light is working, that's part of the optional lamp group. The
underside of the trunk lid has been painted to the same quality as
the body. It has a reproduction sticker, weatherstrip and mat.
Inside is clean metal painted red. It still has its original
collapsible spare with the AMC air bottle!
UNDERSIDE: This car looks great underneath! It does have an older
ground up restoration that was very thorough! It has been
maintained as needed since the restoration was completed. All the
steering components have been rebuilt or replaced and the car
handles very nicely. The suspension looks great all the way around.
The shocks and springs have all been replaced with heavy duty
units. The brakes were rebuilt during the restoration and have been
maintained appropriately since then. The e-brake is hooked up, it
has disc in front. The dual exhaust system has been redone. The
Thrush mufflers and polished chrome tips have this 390 sounding
sweet. Looking up at the motor it appears fresh. The original T-10
4-speed was gone through and has a Hurst linkage. It has the Twin
Grip rear end with 3.54 gearing. The floors underneath appear rust
free and have been painted over during restoration. This is a great
undercarriage overall. It performs as good or even better than it
looks.
SERVICE: Our team of professional mechanics has thoroughly
inspected this vehicle and repaired or replaced the following
items: replaced the AC compressor then put on a new belt and
recharged the system. They rewired the turn signal indicators. This
car was very "dialed in" when we purchased it and is absolutely
ready to cruise now.
This is the ultimate 68 AMX! It checks all the option boxes, it is
exceptionally clean, and it's red! The older restoration has proven
itself; it looks and performs like it was just done. Only 4,000
miles have been put on the car since it was restored. Extremely
rare vehicle here that has been featured in a muscle car
magazine!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
