Car is sure to impress any car enthusiast and turns heads like crazy. This car is a T1 survivor. 100% bone stock and original. It is set to roll the red carpet at Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction at Mohegan Sun later this month if it isn't purchased here on eBay, now is your chance to steal it for less than live auction pricing! This near mint condition survivor has had only two owners in its life and both were avid car enthusiasts. Entered into and won best of show over a dozen times, this car has only been driven on sunny days for the last 48 years or sat in the garage, under a car cover! It was truly babied and is 100% original down to the paint job. There is not a single spec of rust on the entire vehicle ANYWHERE. You could almost eat off the engine compartment. This car has never been restored or painted it is 100% original besides new exhaust and a toggle switch to repair the fan controls. This car was one of only 484 AMC AMX's made with the stout 290cid V8 which pushes out a respectable 225 horse power for this small coupe. The throttle is still extremely responsive with zero lag and plenty of power and begs to have the driver mash down hard on the accelerator to feel the tremendous power this car / engine combination offers. Truly a muscle car of muscle cars. American Motors historians speculate to this being one of only 70, 1968 1/2 AMX's with the 290 cid paired to the automatic transmission that still remain.
