FYI:
Some AMX history.
The AMX, which stands for American Motors Experimental. It was the first all metal two seat American Sports car since the Ford Thunderbird. Only a mere 6,725 cars were built for it's first year in 1968 with a base price of $3,245.
Each AMX was built with a special metal dashboard plate bearing the serial numbers from 000001 to 006175. Although, the first 550 cars did not have the special dash plate.
There were minor changes for 1969 but the sales of the AMX did increase to 8,293. Engine options were the same as 1968 with the 290cid/225hp, 343cid/280hp and 390cid/315hp.
Midyear of 1969, the new "Big Bad" AMX option package was introduced with a selection of three wild colors. For 1968-69 an optional "Go Package" was also offered which consisted of the potent 343cid or 390cid engines, 70 series tires, twin grip rear end, front disc brakes, and twin racing stripes and rally chrome wheels. The Hurst Competition Plus shifter was introduced for the Borg Warner 4 speed transmission. The Javelin models also got the same treatment package.
One of the most valued by collectors of the AMXs was the "Super Stocks" sent to Hurst for legalization as drag racers. The Big 390cid was topped off with a pair of Holley 360cfm 4 barrel carburetors on top of an Edelbrock aluminum cross ram intake manifold and a pair of Doug's Headers with an advertised horsepower rating of 340.
Sales figures decreased to only 4,116 cars for 1970. The factory base price jumped to $3,395. A restyled front end and cold air ram induction hood was offered for 1970. The standard engine offered for that year was a 360cid/290hp motor.
For 1970 the numbers 014469 to 018584 appeared on the serial number dash plate and 1970 was the last of the two seat AMX.
