Description:

1969 AMC AMX - Built by AMC enthusiast who has built award winning AMC’s but this was not built as a trailer queen as his others; this was built for fun. Just like the good old days, you can have fun rippin' down the road with a Hurst Competition shifter under your knuckles, banging’ on your T-10 4-speed, with a 390 gulping’ air and fuel from a dual-quad intake and Flowmasters barkin’ out the rear with a rumpity-rump-rump cam! This should be on a Rat Fink T-Shirt!
This AMX drives smooth and is a pleasure to just cruise around in, take to the weekly car show or Cars and Coffee get together. The carbs are finely tuned and the progressive linkage insures a smooth transition to all eight barrels of fun. The 3.15 gears allow easy freeway cruising.
Starting with an original “X” code (390 factory equipped), “M” code (factory 4-speed) from Southern California / Arizona that is absolutely RUST FREE and retains ALL ORIGINAL PANELS, this original Beal Street Blue AMX which was factory equipped with Charcoal Leather interior was transformed into this beautiful AMX. Driven almost 350 miles, all new-build bugs have been worked out for your driving pleasure. Car is being sold to help finance the complete resto-mod of a Pierre Cardin Javelin. Following is a description of all work performed:
