Description

This 1968 AMC AMX has been with the current owner for five years and is equipped with a 390ci V8 and an automatic transmission. The car is one of 2,287 first-year AMX models equipped with this powertrain, and it previously spent time in Minnesota and Michigan before it was imported to France. A repaint was performed in the late 1980s, and a in 2014 an engine rebuild was done involved installing an Edelbrock carburetor and intake. A dyno test performed soon after yielded 375 horsepower and 454 lb-ft of torque as shown below. An oil change and grease service were performed last year, and the gearbox was rebuilt by the previous owner. This AMX is now being offered on the current owner’s behalf with its original steering wheel, some service records dating back to 1988, a clean Wisconsin title and European import papers stating all import duties are paid.

According to the seller, the car was repainted in 1988 and wears twin black strips. Imperfections detailed in the gallery include touch ups, minor chips, and scratches in the finish. Badging and brightwork appear intact, though the seller notes that the front bumper requires adjustment.

Magnum 500-style wheels are said to be new and are fitted with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. The door locks are stuck and will not work with the keys, but the trunk lock is reported to function properly.

The seller reports that the interior might have been re-done at the same time as the repaint in 1988. The black vinyl upholstery looks well-kept, with some minor wrinkling of the driver’s seat cushion.

Factory switchgear and instrumentation includes an AM stereo, a Shift-Command automatic floor shifter, and a 120 mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 72k miles, with approximately 4k miles added by the current owner. An aftermarket three-spoke steering wheel has been installed, and the original unit is included in the sale. The door windows are reported not to seal tightly.

The 390ci V8 was rebuilt in 2008 and is fitted with an Edelbrock carburetor and intake. An oil change and chassis grease service were performed in 2016, and the automatic gearbox was rebuilt by the previous owner. Service records reportedly date back to 1988.

Dyno test results from 2014 are viewable above, indicating 375.8 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and 454.5 lb-ft of torque at 3,700 rpm following the engine rebuild.
