Mustangs and Camaros may get all the press but this cool 1968 AMX fully lives up to the look of a muscle car. The car just has that tough look that the phrase muscle car is all about. The wide open front grill gives it a mean look cruising down the road and is framed by the inset headlights. The large chrome front bumper has a great shine as well as all of the rest of the trim. The car is coated in Silver with thin Black racing stripes. It has an amazing shine and was buffed out to a great finish. The car has great bodylines like the accents you see around each side window. This is an all numbers matching car with all of the right parts in there correct location. The car is currently with its 3rd owner and was extremely well cared for its entire life. From top to bottom it is very clean and needs nothing. The car rides on 15" polished American Racing Torque Thrust wheels and it has an awesome stance. The car also comes with the original Mag wheels, original steering wheel, and original valve covers.

In a car like this you want to have the original style motor. Well roaring to life in this muscle car is a 390 Go Pack V8 that runs extremely well. It is tuned out for a nice smooth idle and needs nothing. It is done in the original style being painted a Turquoise color but aftermarket chrome valve covers and air cleaner have been added. Everything under the hood of this classic is painted and finished off very well. All of the wiring and hoses are cleanly mounted and routed nicely throughout the engine compartment. The car has an awesome sound and roars through dual straight exhaust into Chrysler square box tips. The engine was all gone through only three years ago and is still in great condition. It has only been 3,200 miles since completed and runs extremely well. In true muscle car style a 4 speed manual transmission is in place and shifts very smoothly. The rear end is fitted with 3:23 gears which allow plenty of room to take off quick while still being able to run down the highway comfortably.

The interior of the car is done in an original style and is extremely clean. It has the correct wood accents on the door panels and all of the correct hardware. The only customization found in here is the added 3 gauge pod mounted under the dash. The car has the original American Motors am radio that still works like new. In fact the entire electrical system is in great condition with all of the gauges, dome lights, gauges lights, etc. operating with no problems.

This is a smooth running classic that would make a great addition to any collection. Think back and can you honestly remember the last time you even saw one of these muscle cars? This isn't the type of classic where you will pull up next to a matching one at your local car show. The AMX was only produced for 2 years and is actually the only short bodied steel cars of its time. It is very unique and never fails to draw a crowd.
