The American Motors AMX, or AMC AMX, was a short-lived two-seat muscle car produced by American Motors. It was aimed at being a Corvette competitor, offering performance and value to younger buyers. However, the AMX didn't sell well and was merged with the larger Javelin. That means finding an AMX can be a bit challenging since less than 20,000 were made. Thankfully, we've got a first-year 1968 American Motors AMX up for sale right now with a mere 35,000 miles on the odometer. What's even more pleasant is that we're told that the engine is a numbers-matching unit.
Sporting a very appropriate red paint job for a short and squat muscle car, this 1968 American Motors AMX appears in pristine order for its age. The car cuts a lithe stance and sports twin white stripes in an over-the-top style. It's also got a lovely set of alloy wheels wrapped in meaty Firestone tires. Step aboard, and you'll enter a black interior with two sports bucket seats. Highlights include a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a full gauge pack, and a Weather Eye ventilation system, the controls of which live to the left-hand side of the steering column. Meanwhile, the center console includes an American Motors-branded push-button AM radio, as well as a cigarette lighter plus a marked ash receiver. Yes, smoking in cars was mainstream in those days. There's also a floor-mounted shifter for the automatic gearbox, in true muscle car style. You can imagine yourself lined up at a stoplight, waiting for it to turn green. Pull the shifter into Drive, stomp on the gas, and watch the tachometer shoot up as the car rockets down the road. Alternatively, you can change gears yourself, as this is a Shift Command unit with automatic and manual shifting options.
This 1968 American Motors AMX comes with a larger (6.6L) V8 under the hood. This car also features the three-speed Shift Command automatic transmission, which includes manual shifting capabilities. Drive goes to the rear wheels in true muscle car fashion. Meanwhile, you've also got front and rear coil spring suspension for better handling.
The ‘60s and ‘70s were great times for muscle car enthusiasts. They provided a time of excess that hasn’t been seen since, with healthy competition among manufacturers, meaning that consumers got some of the most interesting cars around. The 1969 AMC AMX Coupe was no different, featuring a range of engines that, at the top end, included a rather tasty 390ci V8. Our featured 1969 AMC AMX Coupe is exactly that, with a completely overhauled 390 ci / 6.4-liter V8 engine and a range of upgrades designed to make this classic muscle car even more potent.

One of the pioneers of American muscle cars was American Motors Corporation, or AMC, widely known. AMC was founded in 1954 and has sadly become discontinued in 1988. While AMC is no more, their legacy still stands with the vehicles they built. A direct competition to the Chevrolet Corvette was the two-seater GT-style muscle car called the AMX. The AMX was produced from 1968 till 1970, making it quite rare. Up for grabs is a 1968 AMC AMX with the Go Package and just 40,000 miles on the clock. This car is available to be seen in the Flickertail State, North Dakota.
Widely popularized for its role in Smokey and the Bandit, the second-generation Pontiac Firebird is well regarded as a solid ’70s American classic. Never mind that the Malaise Era was in full swing, squeezing those V8s into abysmally low power outputs, there are plenty of avenues today to bring these cars back up to respectable power figures. Therefore, if you’re the kind who likes classic Firebirds, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a fantastic find. It’s got a large V8 under the hood and comes bearing just 28,691 miles to its name. So don’t dilly-dally; pick up this Lubbock, Texas-based muscle car before someone else does.
