"1969 AMC AMX
When you see an ""X"" in the name of a car, it can mean a variety of things. First, it could simply be an X, the letter. It could also indicate all wheel drive such a BMW X5, or it might signify 10 as in the Mitsubishi Evolution X and Touareg X, or Experimental as in the case of the Pontiac GXP, the Buick GNX and the AMC AMX.��
For consignment, a 1969 AMC AMX showing 26,944 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This one sports the 390ci V8, a 750 cfm Holley carb and Group 19 components that include a Mallory distributor, and Edelbrock valve covers.��
Exterior
Sitting on American Racing Torque Thrust 5 spoke wheels, this racy car with its long front hood and beautiful long sloping back has its luster on the Frost White paint from just over 20 years ago. Just a few cosmetic pimples of rust showing mostly on the lower doors. Gaps are decent and badging is kept to a minimum with a simple circular AMX on the wide B pillar. Chrome is minimal as well with just the bumpers which are inset into the body on the front and rear. A ribbed stainless rocker trim is also seen grounding the white along with the wheels. Looking at this design it was really ahead of its time with the inset door handles, and the flush mounted bumpers. Dual chrome tipped exhaust pipes peek out from underneath the rear bumper.�
Interior
Grabbing onto the inset door handle and giving it a swing, we see a clean black vinyl smooth panel covering the door, a large rectangle of wood appliqu� is framed by thin chrome and houses the window crank. A big armrest and door actuator for the inside is also hung on the middle of the interior doors. Moving inside dual high back buckets with tuck and roll inserts and smooth bolsters and headrests all in black vinyl and all looking fab. A wood appliqu� center console races from front to back and houses the shifter as well as camouflages the center hump. In the center of the dash rising out of the center console is a lighter and ""ash "" receiver, AM/FM radio and another large wood appliqu� panel with 2 round vents and a hidden speaker which curves itself on to the dash top. In front of the tri-pointed star center�wood rimmed steering wheel is the original dash with a trio of inserts circular gauges with white centers and black ringed outers. Temp and fan controls are deeply inset to drivers left as are the headlight and wiper knobs. Very nice black carpet covers the floors and with no rear seat, there is plenty of storage and black carpet covering the ""hatchback"" rear interior. A seam free, smooth black headliner hovers above all this 1969 design interior.�
Drivetrain
With being the beneficiary of a complete engine rebuild, the original 390ci V8 which still pumps out 315hp is topped with a 4-barrel Holley 750cfm carburetor. On the back is a 3-speed M-12 automatic transmission and this throws power rearward to an AMC Twin Grip 3.15 rear axle. There is a rebuilt correct fuel pump with a vacuum pump, a K&N air filter within a shiny round air filter holder with a blue and red surrounding stripe. This is all within a highly detailed engine bay, with no corrosion and supple hoses and aluminum ribbed Edelbrock valve covers. Wilwood disc brakes are employed in the front and drums bring up the rear.��
Undercarriage
Underneath is rust free with white unibody rockers, floor pans and toe kicks. A black painted rust free driveshaft and rear pumpkin are seen as well as black painted drum brakes and suspension all around. The bottom end of the engine is drip free with a nice transmission bell housing. Newer trunnions, ball joints, tie rod ends, bushings, idler arm and bearings are seen on the suspension and steering, and the consigner stated the drive shaft has been balanced. A Dynomax dual muffler system is installed.�
Drive-Ability
She fired right up and hit the test loop with obvious power underfoot. The interior is clean and comfortable and the ride provides smooth acceleration, good handling, solid stopping, and quiet shifting for the automatic were experienced. The A/C is inoperable, and the reverse lights do not illuminate, but all other functions operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
AMX's have quietly gained a new audience and both values and desirability reflect the renewed interest in this somewhat rare and certainly unique pony car. When we have the honor to represent them at the mall, they generally race out of here in short order. Without the racing stripes, this one is a virtual sleeper, but if you know, you know. It checks all the boxes!
