This car underwent a bare-metal repaint in original Bittersweet Orange/Frost, nd the 2008 paint looks as new.

The chrome is very nice as is the stainless trim.

· Interior

The seat upholstery was redone in the correct pattern in white and black and looks like new. The door panels are very good as is the carpeting. The dash and instruments are in good cosmetic condition and the instrument package includes a tachometer. The interior wood-graining looks a bit tired. The headliner is as new, aving been replaced during the restoration.

· Engine

The AMX has functional air scoops. These cars were known for their power and this particular car doesn't disappoint in that regard.

· Transmission

The 3-speed automatic transmission was rebuilt and operates correctly, aking this sports/muscle car a pleasure to drive.

· Chassis

The underside of this AMX is remarkably clean for a driver, uggesting that it has seen little bad weather. During restoration, he frame portion was sandblasted (on the car) and repainted. It appears to be free of any visible rust or corrosion other than light surface rust (see pictures).

· Safety and Comfort features

The car's front end was rebuilt (tie rods ends and ball joints) which contributes to this AMX's stability. Seat belts provide for additional passenger safety.

All of the safety and accessory features work—lights, urn signals, ipers, xcept for the horn, icense light and dash lights which will need attention. All of the instruments are in good cosmetic condition and work but the "idiot" lights do not. The instrument package includes a tachometer which works.

The factory air conditioning, onverted to 134A, orks but could use a recharge. There is also a CD changer mounted in the trunk.

The rear window louvers add a nice touch to the car's looks.

An Nice Example of the Last and Best Year for the AMX

After a 3-year production run, merican Motors retired the AMX in favor of the larger Javelin. The last year—1970—represented the high-water mark for this two-seater, aking it a highly collectible performance car. With great paint, new interior and a large displacement engine, his fully restored AMX is a rarity. If you've wanted an AMX at a reasonable price, his car is the one to have!
