Wrench Report
RestoMods Head Mechanic. 20 year classic car mechanic & builder.
The combination of corrected front suspension geometry, ADDCO sway bars, and fresh power steering makes this two-seater handle tight and flat through the turns, while the front disc brake conversion provides confident stopping power. It's a rare, two-seat American muscle icon backed by detailed frame-off history and fresh mechanical sorting that is completely ready to enjoy.
Description
This 1969 AMC AMX is a short-wheelbase two-seater muscle car that underwent a comprehensive frame-off restoration and a recent mechanical recommissioning. This is a true X-code 390 car, powered by a rebuilt 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. This AMX features a front disc brake conversion, upgraded front and rear sway bars, power steering, and a rebuilt rear end with a limited-slip differential. It is now offered with extensive restoration receipts, rebuild records, and a clean Washington title.
The body was stripped to bare metal on a rotisserie during the restoration, undergoing rust remediation before being refinished in black. Exterior trim highlights include polished stainless trim, bright bumpers, dual exhaust tips, fresh weatherstripping, "390" fender badging, and a blacked-out rear valance. Cracks in the paint near the rear window and C-pillars are noted, and some scratches are evident on the window glass.
The car rides on 14x7-inch American Racing Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Silvertown redline radial tires.
The cabin features black vinyl bucket seats, a center console with replacement lid, fresh door glass, and updated window track rollers. Interior appointments include woodgrain dash trim, a floor-mounted shifter with a rebuilt shift linkage, a cleaned neutral safety switch, and an operational ignition switch setup.
The interior also features a color-matched steering wheel on a tilt column positioned ahead of factory instrumentation including a speedometer, tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The odometer shows 13,453 miles (TMU). The seller notes that the tachometer needle needs to be re-attached to its post, and that the wipers work intermittently.
The engine bay houses a rebuilt 390ci AMC V8 equipped with ported cylinder heads, a balanced rotating assembly, ARP head bolts, and an overhauled Carter AFB four-barrel carburetor. Ignition timing and carb tuning were recently performed, while cooling is supported by a factory-style radiator setup. Exhaust flows through dual exhaust outlets. Power is routed through a rebuilt three-speed automatic transmission with a fresh torque converter and transmission mount, feeding a rebuilt rear end featuring a limited-slip differential. The seller notes that the valve cover tag indicates the engine was built in September of 1969, but it is not possible to verify if the engine is numbers matching as AMC did not stamp VINs on their engine blocks during this era.
The chassis benefits from a complete front suspension tear-down including new control arm bushings, ball joints, corrected strut rods, power steering gearbox, new pump, and a front-end alignment. Upgraded ADDCO front and rear sway bars work alongside heavy-duty rear leaf springs and fresh torque link bushings. Stopping power is managed by a front disc brake conversion paired with rebuilt rear drum brakes, a replacement proportioning valve, and fresh wheel cylinders.
