1968 AMC AMX - Short-lived and memorable

It was a pony car -era two-seater that only lasted three model years - the AMX from AMC. Stephen Shay of New Milford, CT had one as a teenager, and has restored a second one as an adult.

As an AMC enthusiast - congratulations! All hail🙌🏼

Longtime AMC fan here. We had a few AMCs ourselves: a '62 Rambler Classic station wagon that my mother learned to drive on, a '68 Ambassador that I learned to drive on, a '74 Hornet that my sister learned to drive on, and we traded in the Ambassador for a '78 Gremlin that I drove for ten years. I still have two 1968 dealer brochures, one with the AMX and one without, so I knew about them even back then. I'd always dreamed about getting my hands on an AMX, and five years ago, that dream came true. It's a '69, Beale St. Blue with white go-pack stripes, 390 4-speed with Flowmaster mufflers. Lots of fun to drive and it turns heads. P. S. I used to live in Connecticut and am a UConn alum.

I had a friend back in 1974 that had a 69 AMC AMX with a 390 c.i. engine, 4bbl carb and a 3spd automatic console shift. It was crazy fast. Just like this one, black with white stripes. Burn rubber all day long😎

I paid 1600 for my 68 Amx 390 4 speed hurst in 1978. Car handled like a big go kart.

They are definitely different and something special. I can tell you though (you can check me if you like) the number badges they put on the dash were put on at random. It could have been the 5th off the line or the last.
