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.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1969 AMC AMX Coupe has been newly repainted in the car’s original Pompeii Yellow, a distinctive shade that perfectly complements this era of muscle car design. But unlike other designs of the period, the AMC AMX Coupe is restrained in its styling. While it features bold lines and a distinctive fastback-like silhouette, there are no over-the-top flourishes, lending an almost sleeper-like vibe to the overall appearance. Look closely, though, and you'll see all-new chrome mag wheels wrapped in brand-new tires. The AMX Coupe, though, was a dedicated two-seater, giving the car a smaller and more agile appearance. Inside our restored specimen, you’ll find a brown interior that is highlighted by a plaid pattern applied to the seats. The dashboard comprises of two large meter binnacles for the speedometer (which reads up to 140 mph) and tachometer, while engine temperature and fuel levels lie as sub-dials within the tach. To the left of the main dials, you’ll find a clock and controls for the wipers and lights. An American Motors-branded radio receiver is also present in the center of the console.
Engine
Under the hood of this 1969 AMC AMX Coupe is where the majority of the work has been carried out. The car features a 390ci V8 engine that the owner reports has been driven just 300 miles since it was rebuilt. The rebuild included an overbore of 0.030, with new DSS Racing forged pistons installed. Other work that was carried out includes new cam bearings, a new competition cam, and new Harland Sharp rocker arms. That’s not all, as you’ll also find a new Schaefer roller lifter and Cloyes timing gear & chain. As you’d expect during an all-out rebuild of this nature, all seals and gaskets have been replaced, along with new hoses. The engine is fed via a new Demon carburetor, while Patriot Headers provide improved airflow and Edelbrock cylinder heads add to the compression. Finally, a new MSD distributor and plug wires handle ignition. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission, and you’ll also find new wheel cylinders for optimized and reliable braking performance.
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 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.

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.
