This is an award winning AMX that features a nut-and-bolt restoration that utilizes many N.O.S. parts. Among the new old stock parts are rocker moldings, deck lid, rear valance, front fenders, grille, hood molding, headlight bezels, parking lights/turn signal lenses and housings, all side marker lamps, door latches and strikers, door seals, jamb bumpers, trunk seal, outer door handles with correct finish, gas tank, bolts and sending unit, along with many other components and trim details.

This is a very well-equipped example that is finished in Bayshore Blue with a black interior; among the features are tilt steering wheel, center armrest and cushion (“buddy seat”), AM/FM radio, Light Group, Visibility Group, optional 15-inch Machine wheels, tinted glass, air conditioning, front spoiler, black rally stripes, black vinyl bucket seats, Go Package, space-saver spare, dual mirrors with driver’s side remote; power steering and brakes. The engine is a 390-cid, 325-hp V-8 that is mated to a four-speed manual transmission.

This fine AMX has placed first at the Hoosier Auto Show in Indianapolis in both 2003 and 2004. A first place was also won by this AMC at a Cincinnati concours d’elegance in 2005. It has also won the First Junior Award at the AACA spring meet, and that fall, it won the AACA Senior Award at the prestigious and largely attended Hershey meet. In 2012 it won the AACA Grand National Award in Tennessee. As recently as 2013, it obtained the AACA top honor by winning the Senior Grand National Award in Moline, Illinois.

The vendor does state that the original 360-cid engine was replaced with this correct, rebuilt 390-cid version that was optional to the car in 1970. The Bayshore Blue paint is also original spec for this 1970 model; it has been applied to replace the original Glen Green.
