INTRODUCTION: This AMX is killer! Extremely rare factory blue with
platinum interior, stunning! It is full of highly desirable options
from air conditioning to the Sidewinder exhaust. It is very nicely
restored, a pile of docs are included. It even earned an American
Motors Owner's Senior Division plaque.
In the late 60s American Motors jumped into the performance car
market with a daring model called the AMX. AMX refers to American
Motors eXperimental. Other than the Corvette it was America's only
2 seater sports car and it was $1,000 less. Known for its short
wheelbase, shorter than the Corvette, and impressive handling. When
ordered with the 390 it was no slouch in the � mile either!
EXTERIOR: The unique design was advanced for its time, it featured
assertive lines and a sharp profile. This body is exceptionally
clean, it was a California /Arizona car in its early years. It's
arrow straight and fits right, doors shut like new. The factory
Regatta Blue has a slick finish. The actual paint formula will be
included in case you need touch up down the road. The metallic is
laid out evenly and the clear is polished smooth. Taking it one
step further are the silver stripes and color matched bumpers! Good
original glass. I love the Sidewinder exhaust!
The wheels are painted body color with argent silver spokes and
they are wearing BFG sneakers.
INTERIOR: Factory Platinum interior, 1 of only 733 made! It looks
amazing with the blue accents. It's a reproduction Legendary
interior and overall everything looks very good. It has a correct
headliner in very nice shape too. The dash area is clean, it has an
AMX embroidered dash cover preserving the nice dash pad. The
steering wheel is in excellent shape. The carpet front to back was
replaced and it has embroidered mats. It has a full set of gauges
including a tachometer, Rally Pack (oil, amp & clock) and a vacuum
gauge. It also features an AM/FM stereo, deluxe wheel on a tilt
column and a center console. All the interior lights work.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Detailed motor compartment and it's packed full
of goodies! At the heart of it is its correct and rebuilt 390
motor. The casting code and tag on the valve cover match it to this
car. It was rebuilt with a Reed cam and it has the rare dealer
installed Edelbrock R4B intake, upgraded with a Demon carb. It also
features factory air conditioning, the compressor has been replaced
and we recently charged the system. It also features optional power
steering and power brakes. The motor is detailed real nice, the
valve covers are rechromed, the air cleaner was restored and still
has the heat riser tube. It's complete with a restored wiper motor,
windshield washer bag, hood insulation, battery hold down etc. The
engine bay is all clean metal painted very nicely.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid, the jamb and inside the
trunk is all painted beautiful blue. The mat, weatherstrip and
decals have been replaced. It includes the collapsible spare with
the inflator bottle and jack. It also includes a car cover.
UNDERSIDE: It is very clean and proper under this car. I'm most
impressed with the metal floors and frame rails, they look to be
100% original and rust free. They've been cleaned and dusted with
some black paint to look fresh. The steering and suspension has
been rebuilt as needed and in excellent shape, it has upgraded
quick ratio steering, front and rear sway bars. The brake lines and
hoses have been replaced, e-brake is hooked up and it has disc in
front. Looking up at the motor and the starter they are both clean.
It has the correct correct Shift Command automatic transmission.
The rear end has been serviced.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
CONCLUSION: This AMX checks the boxes! It's rare, it's clean, it's
loaded, and it's gorgeous!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
