Highly optioned AMX with 390ci V8, 4-speed transmission, Go Package equipment with Twin Grip differential, factory air conditioning, power disc brakes, power steering, reclining seats, tilt column, and more! An awesome, rust free body receiving a high quality restoration! The original sleeper winning pink slips on American main drags in 1968-69 was the American Motor Company 390 V8 AMX. Already famous in racing circles prior to its introduction in 1968 for 100 land speed records, the AMX was a potent...and low-profile alternative to big-block rivals from GM, and in fact many notable racers jettisoned their more conventional domestic metal for the unprecedented performance of this AMC contender. A terrific opportunity to own a 1968 AMC AMX Sport Coupe sporting a very well executed restoration. Finished in code correct 52A- Scarab Gold Metallic and 832A- code Tan interior with reclining front seats. Under the hood lies the original 390ci V8 still motivating this compact uni-body rocket down the road through a factory V-code 4-speed Borg Warner close-ratio manual transmission and 3.15:1 Twin Grip limited slip differential! The paint was professionally refinished in base coat/clear coat fashion and remains gorgeous! The interior although still having much of its hard to find original parts has also been treated to new carpets, head liner, weather stripping, door panels, seat covers, by Legendary Interiors Inc.
