For Sale: 1969 AMC AMX in Rowlett, Texas for sale in Rowlett, TX
Vehicle Description In an effort to maintain relevancy in a market dominated by the Big Three, American Motors Corporation hired industry veteran Dick Teague to spice up the lineup.
His lob into the muscle car fray was the AMX, and for three glorious years, the other pony car proved its chops against not just Barracuda, Camaro and Mustang but against the Corvette as well.
It's short wheel base and two seat configuration set it apart.
The top engine was the 390 cubic inch 4-barrel that came from the factory with forged parts and thin wall blocks, earning AMC over one hundred world speed endurance records.
This 1969 Model was the subject of a fully documented multi-year six figure restoration that left no screw unturned.
The result is nothing short of extraordinary.
From the fully blueprinted and rebuilt, bored and cammed 390 to the meticulously detailed leather clad interior, this is without doubt one of the very best AMX examples in the world.
Electronic fuel injection is fitted as well as ceramic coated headers and electronically controlled exhaust cutouts give the car a bit of the Jekyll and Hyde treatment.
A 5-speed Tremec gearbox gives the car greater usability on modern roads while still maintaining it's muscle car character.
Front and rear suspension have been updated with coilovers and sway bars riding on 17 x 8 Magnum style alloy wheels with brand new Nitto 555 rubber.
All of the instrumentation and lighting works properly and three point seat belts, tilt wheel and a kick ass stereo are like the cherry on top.
This AMX is sitting on about 3,500 miles since the restoration was completed.
It starts right up with a nice lope.
The fuel injection keeps it smooth and steady at idle.
The leather interior and deep pile carpeting is inviting.
Vintage AC and aluminum radiator keeps it cool inside and under hood.
The shifter and clutch operation is pure American muscle car.
Power assisted steering and front disc brakes make it easy to drive.
The 390 is responsive through the entire rev range.
This is a quick car even by modern standards; open the exhaust cut outs and row through the gears when you're in need of a big grin on your face or just in the mood to irritate your neighbors.
The AMX was not enough to save AMC and its short-lived legacy make it among the rarest model ranges of the original muscle car era.
Today, it is immediately recognizable as a '60's American Muscle Car despite the fact that most people have no idea what it is or who made it, which to most AMX owners is just fine.
This iconic AMX is located in Rowlett, Texas and is offered for sale as is where is with a clean title.
