The American Motors AMX, or AMC AMX, was a short-lived two-seat muscle car produced by American Motors. It was aimed at being a Corvette competitor, offering performance and value to younger buyers. However, the AMX didn't sell well and was merged with the larger Javelin. That means finding an AMX can be a bit challenging since less than 20,000 were made. Thankfully, we've got a first-year 1968 American Motors AMX up for sale right now with a mere 35,000 miles on the odometer. What's even more pleasant is that we're told that the engine is a numbers-matching unit.
Exterior and Interior
Sporting a very appropriate red paint job for a short and squat muscle car, this 1968 American Motors AMX appears in pristine order for its age. The car cuts a lithe stance and sports twin white stripes in an over-the-top style. It's also got a lovely set of alloy wheels wrapped in meaty Firestone tires. Step aboard, and you'll enter a black interior with two sports bucket seats. Highlights include a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a full gauge pack, and a Weather Eye ventilation system, the controls of which live to the left-hand side of the steering column. Meanwhile, the center console includes an American Motors-branded push-button AM radio, as well as a cigarette lighter plus a marked ash receiver. Yes, smoking in cars was mainstream in those days. There's also a floor-mounted shifter for the automatic gearbox, in true muscle car style. You can imagine yourself lined up at a stoplight, waiting for it to turn green. Pull the shifter into Drive, stomp on the gas, and watch the tachometer shoot up as the car rockets down the road. Alternatively, you can change gears yourself, as this is a Shift Command unit with automatic and manual shifting options.
Engine
This 1968 American Motors AMX comes with a larger (6.6L) V8 under the hood. This car also features the three-speed Shift Command automatic transmission, which includes manual shifting capabilities. Drive goes to the rear wheels in true muscle car fashion. Meanwhile, you've also got front and rear coil spring suspension for better handling.
AMC, or American Motors Corporation is one of those defunct automakers who gave us a bevy of interesting cars during their lifetime. One of their key models of the Sixties was their two-seat muscle car called the AMX. Produced from 1968 to 1970, less than 20,000 were made in total. Today, we have one of those cars and it’s highly upgraded. Say hello to this black 1969 AMC AMX Restomod from Fairmount, Illinois. It’s got a fearsome 401ci supercharged V8 under the hood with twin TorqStorm superchargers, hooked up to a Tremec 6-speed manual box and, naturally, rear-wheel drive. The car has under 1,500 miles since its comprehensive makeover and is your ticket to owning a formidable Sixties muscle icon that’s been given even more performance.
The ‘60s and ‘70s were great times for muscle car enthusiasts. They provided a time of excess that hasn’t been seen since, with healthy competition among manufacturers, meaning that consumers got some of the most interesting cars around. The 1969 AMC AMX Coupe was no different, featuring a range of engines that, at the top end, included a rather tasty 390ci V8. Our featured 1969 AMC AMX Coupe is exactly that, with a completely overhauled 390 ci / 6.4-liter V8 engine and a range of upgrades designed to make this classic muscle car even more potent.

Introduced in 1968, the AMC Javelin was American Motors Corporation’s entry into the growing pony car segment dominated by the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. By 1969, the Javelin had established a reputation for combining sporty styling with strong V8 performance while offering a slightly more refined driving experience than many of its competitors. This 1969 AMC Javelin SST represents the more upscale trim level of the model lineup, offering additional comfort features and interior enhancements. Finished in an attractive shade of green and riding on period-style wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires, this classic AMC coupe captures the bold styling and muscle-era attitude that defined late-1960s American performance cars.
The Rambler American, subsequently called the AMC Rambler was a compact car made by American Motors Corporation. Three generations of Rambler were made between 1958 and 1969 before the Hornet took over. Ah, these nostalgic names from a brand that’s sadly, no more, is enough to create warmth in the heart of any American classic car lover. Today’s 1969 AMC Hurst/SC Rambler is even more special, because it’s an example of a special produced in 1969 in collaboration with Hurst Performance. Now, this 44,631-mile limited production machine from Montello could be yours. Even more impressively is that it’s been owned by the same person for around 56 years! Furthermore, the Hurst/SC Rambler was considered to be one of the most under-rated muscle cars of the time, given that its 315-horsepower V8 and compact dimensions meant that low 12-second quarter mile times were possible on merely street tires.
