Mostly original, this is a real 4 spd. V8 Muscle Car. The previous owner of this car bought it in 2003 , regretfully he lost his eye sight about the same time, and the car sat in the driveway under a car cover ever since, hardly being driven more than a handful of times in 7 years. Just a little over 19,000 AMX's were ever produced from 1968-1970. Most of which had a wide variety of engine options from the 199 cubic inch 1V, 232 1v&2V , 290 2V & 4V , 343 2V & 4V , and lastly the 390 2V & 4V . This clearly stated to give those who believe they all came with a 390 V8 a little more knowledge. These cars were even rare during their day. Now they have almost disappeared , and only once in a while do we get a glimpse of an AMX on the road. This car is equipped with the 343 4V , mated too a 4spd. manual transmission and posi rear end. Another highly favorable aspect too this car is that it also has the 8000 RPM tach, 140 MPH speedometer , and full gauge package . The interior is mostly if not entirely original and complete. Showing just a little age. The body is extremely straight and would be an easy restoration. The most significant area that will need attention will be the filler panel between the back window and trunk. Fairly common amongst most cars of the day , which had flat back glass. Rain water and snow run off seemed to collect here making for a damp humid environment. Not horribly bad however. The car makes a great driver even as-is and could be driven home. Only a couple of very minor and I mean minor bubbling has occurred . The car cover it sat under did a job on the clear coat and retained some moisture , causing the coating to flake in spots. I drive this car frequently and it draws a crowd no matter where it's parked. The motor and tranny are very solid. The transmission was rebuilt and has very few miles on it, approx. less than 200. The water pump, radiator, starter, alternator, clutch & throw out bearing, fuel pump and carburetor had all been replaced by the most recent owner . Again with very few miles put on the car. I almost forgot too mention the car is equipped with a Hurst 4 spd shifter. We get a ton of phone calls about this car every week.
