Description
Lot #447 - This 1968 American Motors AMX has been rotisserie restored. It is powered by an AMC 390ci V8 engine with Holley fuel injection, an Edelbrock Torker intake manifold, headers and a custom stainless-steel X-crossover exhaust system. The engine is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Stopping power is provided by Wilwood front disc brakes and the factory power booster, with the 17-inch American Racing aluminum Magnum 500-style wheels stay true to the AMX tradition. The factory traction links and twin-traction Dana rear axle keep the power to the ground. It is finished in high-quality 2-stage metallic red paint with dual painted silver Go-Pak stripes and a restored trunk spoiler. The undercarriage was painted when the car was complete. The chrome and stainless steel are fresh, the weatherstrips are soft and all the trim pieces are as they should be. The doors fit properly, and the windows are operational. The engine bay has been modified, with the battery moved to the trunk and any unsightly brackets and holes smoothed, welded and filled. The chrome valve covers and air cleaner accent the clean, AMC blue engine and the aluminum high-capacity radiator. The interior is finished in black with custom double-stitched bucket seats, a custom 4-speed console, wood-rimmed steering wheel and complete, modern instrumentation, including a GPS speedometer. The 1969-style Hurst 4-speed shifter with a round shifter handle was professionally rebuilt, and the Alpine stereo unit is equipped with Bluetooth, USB and an AM/FM radio.
