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.
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.
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.

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.
One of the pioneers of American muscle cars was American Motors Corporation, or AMC, widely known. AMC was founded in 1954 and has sadly become discontinued in 1988. While AMC is no more, their legacy still stands with the vehicles they built. A direct competition to the Chevrolet Corvette was the two-seater GT-style muscle car called the AMX. The AMX was produced from 1968 till 1970, making it quite rare. Up for grabs is a 1968 AMC AMX with the Go Package and just 40,000 miles on the clock. This car is available to be seen in the Flickertail State, North Dakota.
Now here’s an American classic that’s a little different from the herd! The Rambler American by American Motors Corporation, or AMC to most of us. Produced between 1958 and 1969, the Rambler American is a compact car that builds on the Nash Rambler that preceded it. The Rambler American would go on to become a success not just in North America, but many other parts of the world as well. The car was assembled in Wisconsin, as well as Brampton for the Continent, but overseas operations included Iran, Mexico, South Africa and Australia. If you’d like to become a custodian of a Rambler American, here’s one from Abilene, Texas. This 1958 Rambler American has traveled around 68,557 miles and features a repaint in blue, as well as re-upholstered bench seating.
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
