The AMC AMX debuted on Feb. 24, 1968, as a mid-1968 model. It was the first steel-bodied, two-seat American production model since the 1957 Ford Thunderbird. American Motors created the AMX (American Motors Experimental) by cuting approximately a foot out of its Javelin body, eliminating the rear seat, and making it a proper two-seat sports car.

Its short 97-inch wheelbase cut the AMX curb weight. At around 3,100 pounds, a stock AMX was capable of 0- to 60-mph times below seven seconds, with quarter-mile times under 15 seconds. Optional twin racing stripes down the hood, roof and trunk even made the AMX look fast. In February 1968, then world land-speed record holder, Craig Breedlove, set 106 class-based world speed records with an AMX. According to sourced material, 6,725 AMX’s were built in the 1968 model year.

This AMC AMX sport coupe displays the correct Frost White finish with red accents. It is reported to be a rust-free, vehicle from the private collection of a former AMC dealer. This electrifying machine is further stated to be an original vehicle; including the seats, carpet, headliner, trunk liner and dash; as well as having fully-functioning gauges. Mechanical restoration of the 390-cid V-8 engine, four-speed transmission and limited-slip differential; as well as front suspension and rear suspension, were completed in 1988 with surprisingly few miles added to the car since that date. Slight modifications from stock include chrome Magnum 500-style wheels, redline tires, chrome air cleaner and upgraded ignition.
