Just yesterday, Jamie featured a 1969 AMX project with the 390 that looks to be a nice solid start. At $9k, it isn’t cheap though. That one might seem like a decent project, but I think I found one that might actually be a better buy! This ’68 also features a 390 V8 and gold paint, plus it has the Go-Pack, one previous owner, just 69k original miles and is in a much nicer shape! It’s being offered
here on eBay in Santa Ana, California with bidding at $6,600. If bidding doesn’t go crazy, you could get a survivor that just needs to be cleaned up to be a driver.

I’ve always thought an AMX with the 390 would be a blast to have! Of course, I would want mine with a 4 speed, but I could live with this auto equipped car. I really like the other options this car is equipped with and it sure would make it an enjoyable car to cruise in. And think, you could hit the drag strip in comfort, with the A/C cranked up and your favorite radio station blaring right up until you make your pass!

The seller claims to have the engine running, but off of a gas can as the fuel tank needs to be cleaned out. The brakes will need work and I’m sure there will be other small issues that will need to be addressed to make this one a driver, but it sounds like it could be a driver with minimal work. It looks like the exterior and interior will clean up really well. There doesn’t appear to be any rust, but like usual I would recommend getting underneath and checking the underside out carefully.

While these cars aren’t as desirable as a big block Mustangs or Camaros, it’s hard to beat all the bang for your buck you get with one. Even if this one gets bid up over the $9k asking of the other, it still would look like a better buy to me! There is something to be said about a shiny muscle car with all the bells and whistles. So are you a fan of the AMX or would you still rather spend the extra to get a Mustang or a Camaro?
