The AMX was a shorter version of the Javelin, with some serious power on a small budget model. The model only lasted three years, from 1968 to 1970. Visit our AMC AMX history and information section for more information.

LOST AND FOUND??? 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
I don't see a forum here for information regarding past owned cars or people looking for ownership information, so I am posting this here.

I owned a 1969 AMX back in 1972. I worked for an AMC/Dodge dealer from 1968-1974 In Savanna, Ill. called Savanna Auto Center Inc. We had sold this car new to a Dr. Piper M.D. who lived in Mt. Carroll, Ill. He traded the car for a new Corvette in 1972 and I bought the traded in AMX wholesale from the Chevy dealer.
The car was built new as follows:
Butternet Beige/Charcoal interior
390/4spd.
3.54 Twin grip
Power steering and brakes
I THINK AM/FM radio and tilt steering wheel
It had an aftermarket under dash A/C unit hanging down on the passenger side

I had the car repainted Bittersweet Orange, reupholstered the seats in a Saddle Tan, and put Orange Shag carpet in it, Hey, it was the 70s
I added gauges to the dash in the area where the factory A/C vent could have also gone. I believe these were group 19 parts, at least they were available through the AMC factory parts.
I also added some aluminum wheels that had a wire type/honeycomb look or such.

I sold it in about 1974 to a guy by the name of Lonnie Hackett who was going to college in Macomb, Ill. That is the last I ever saw of it. I have no idea if it survivies today or not, but if any of this sounds familiar you can contact me for any additional questions you may have at darryl@sedonarental.com
