THE EXTERIORThe exterior of this AMX is in FAIR but QUITE ORIGINAL condition overall with decent original chrome and badging with LOTS of fading, nicks, scratches, dings, and a few light corrosion spots! This is a great foundation to do a restomod with clear coat over the patina OR a full restoration!
THE INTERIORAs is articulated here in the photos, the cockpit of this this two-seater fastback is in VERY original condition overall with working five-digit odometer, tattered carpet and slightly worn and torn upholstery, solid headliner and original steering wheel along with the console mounted "AMX4880" plate. The factory radio powers up with little to no reception, the door panels show some wear, the tachometer and speedo work though the gas gauge is inop. THE DRIVING EXPERIENCEThis '68 AMX starts easily and runs VERY well with good torquey power, nice exhaust note and strong acceleration, buttery smooth shifting transmission, solid straight braking and smooth one-finger power steering! The suspension and tires are old and suggested for replacement on this super rare and groovy cruiser.
