INTRODUCTION: A true American Motors icon, this 1969 AMX delivers bold styling, 390 performance, and a unique two-seat design that sets it apart from the crowd. It's a beautifully preserved example with excellent fit, finish, and attention to detail throughout. This AMX is ready to impress wherever it goes.
EXTERIOR: It has an unmistakable look, with its short wheelbase giving it a compact, aggressive stance. The long hood, fastback profile, and sculpted body lines deliver classic muscle car proportions with a sporty edge. Claimed to retain its original metal, the body is in amazing condition-laser straight with no rust or damage, and the fit is spot-on. It's a factory yellow car, refinished in a richer shade that looks even better, topped with a smooth, high-gloss finish. The white racing stripes really set it off. The chrome and trim add the perfect contrast-the stainless is straight and polished, and the chrome has been redone. The door handles look fresh and it has optional dual mirrors. The windshield appears new, the rear window is one of the best originals you'll find. It sits proudly on chrome Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in reproduction redline tires for the perfect finishing touch.
INTERIOR: The two-seater interior looks practically new. The carpet is fresh and fits beautifully front to back. The dash area is exceptionally clean with no splits in the pad, and it features a factory optional tachometer and AM/FM radio. The door panels and armrests are in great shape. The seats have been re-cushioned and upholstered, and both recline as they should. The plastic trim, headliner, and visors all present very well. The original steering wheel is showing just a couple cracks in the rim. The best feature? The Hurst 4-speed shifter rising from the floor-pure muscle car attitude.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine compartment presents very nicely with a clean painted bay. At the heart of it is the correct 390 rated at 315 horsepower. It's proper with correct components, including valve covers with correct tag and the factory-style air cleaner with snorkel. It's also well equipped with power steering and power brakes, making it a pleasure to drive. Details like the washer fluid bag, Autolite battery topper, hood insulation, and electric wipers (part of the convenience group) are all in place. The 7-blade fan, included with the Go Pack, helps keep the engine running cool.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the trunk presents real well- it's clean and has reproduction weatherstrip, sticker and mat. The car has the convenience group which includes a working trunk light!
UNDERSIDE: It appears to be very solid and well sorted. Our shop has inspected and serviced the car, including underneath. It's equipped with optional front disc brakes, and the emergency brake is properly hooked up and functioning. The steering and suspension have been gone through to ensure it drives tight and confidently. A new dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers gives it a strong, healthy sound. Looking up at the engine, it's clean and detailed, featuring a high-torque starter for reliable cranking. It's paired to a correct 1968 T10 4-speed trans, and out back it retains its 3.15 posi rear end. The floors and frame rails appear rock solid. They've been treated with fresh undercoating, giving the underside a clean, uniform black appearance while adding protection.
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 service the essentials on every car we sell.
CONCLUSION: This AMX is a standout example that checks all the boxes-looks, and performance! It's the kind of car that turns heads, sparks conversations, and delivers a driving experience you don't forget.
