Vehicle Description
This 1968 AMC AMX is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. The
AMX was introduced in 1968 to huge acclaim. Its small stature
compared to the other cars of the day gave it quite an advantage in
the weight department. With the rear seats being deleted it would
place the AMX up against the now almighty Corvette. This AMX was
found in a warehouse which was the same place it set for over 20
years before being rescued and brought back to its former glory.
The body was taken down to bare metal with no signs of major rust
or rot this was a nice car from day one. The red stripes going down
this model specific hood break up the white paint nicely and look
great. The side pipes are a great touch and though they are period
correct no AMX left the factory with them but you could get them
installed prior to taking possession from the dealership. The
interior on this AMX is in just as good shape with the red being
one of the most sought after interiors of the bunch. The plate in
the middle signifies this is number 6715 out of only 6725 built.
This car just went from being super cool to super cool and
collectible. Ofcourse the AMX was never really about the sleek
interior or short exterior stature, it was all about the optional
390 Big Block. The 390 was what you got in the AMX when you wanted
to not only crush the competition at the red light but carve up a
back country road afterwards. This 390 is the original one that
came in the car. After being disassembled for a closer look it is
believed that the 30k miles shown on the odometer are original. The
compression, cylinder walls as well as the heads all checked out so
unless the guy rebuilt the motor before storing it for 20 years the
mileage is actual. Reassembled and placed back under the hood the
car was ready to be unleashed onto the world. The original Borg &
Warner 4 speed keeps everything moving and is an absolute blast to
drive. If you have wanted a car that is fun to drive, rare, and
ofcourse different look no further. Options on this 1968 AMC AMX
include; AC, AM/FM, Vinyl Interior, Power Steering, Power Brakes,
AM/FM Radio, and Mag Wheels wrapped in Radial Tires. This 1968 AMC
AMX W/Go Pac for sale can be seen at our Louisville showroom,
