Make an even better Pure Stocker...avoid structural modifications needed for full Stocker or SSer..and still keep it for a Mercum ransom !!

Sometimes you get lucky previous owner knows very little about AMXs paid 1,800. for car and 2,150 for shipping to Texas.

Congratulations and welcome to the AMC world. Just remember as you get the car running, it’s only money.

Thanks Charlie for the info.

Re: 68 AMX barn find
 

No problem. My AMX (a 70 model) was a 360-4 speed. Dropped a valve. Forgot it was not a small block chevy and it didn't like the RPM. lol

Always a soft spot for these. Want another one before I die.And .... an equally hot woman in the seat beside me as well.

Want to go out with a smile!

Re: 68 AMX barn find
 

Charlie
both are possible . Just depends how much you want to spend on either or both.
Hot women = big $$$$$...., upkeep, tuneups, etc....... The car is probably cheaper.

The car would be less trouble they both end up with plastic surgery
