This all original, beautifully restored AMX is 1 of 8,296 produced in 1969, and 1 of 843 with the 343ci Typhoon V-8 engine, Borg Warner T-10 four-speed manual transmission, and popular "Go-Package" option, which included:
- Power assisted front disk brakes
- Heavy-duty suspension, thick sway-bars
- Twin-Grip differential (posi trac)
- Heavy-duty cooling system & fan shroud
- Large face 140mph speedometer
- 8000rpm tachometer
- Wide performance tires
- Magnum 500 styled steel wheels
- Over the top twin roof stripes
- Hurst 4-speed manual floor shifter
- Dual exhaust system
For starters, the original 343 Typhoon engine was completely rebuild and balanced, it runs and sounds perfect, and has no leaks or issues at all. The rebuilt manual 4-speed transmission shifts great and the feel of the new clutch is perfect. This car has been driven less than 3,500 miles sense its restoration, and performs very well. It drives down the road straight and solid, and it brakes and stops as it should. The bodylines are very straight, the panels & doors are correctly spaced, and the doors open/close with ease.

I’m selling this wonderful AMX because I’m now at a point in my life where I need to downsize my classic car collection. Drive this rare AMX in confidence, because it looks, starts, runs, drives, and stops great. It fires right up, drives nice, and always runs cool. This car has won several local car show awards, always receives smiles and thumbs-up when it’s out on a cruise, and would be an excellent car to add to any collection!
