AMC AMX 1979 Description
1979 American Motors Spirit AMX. SE car born with a 304, has had 360 installed many years ago from mid-70's AMC full size vehicle working through Chrysler 727 torque flight and AMC 3:15 limited slip rear end. PS, PB, factory a/c; have condenser - not working currently. Previous owner had wheel flares and air dam off; I had them put back on best that could be done for car shows. They still need attention. Small dent in passenger door as mentioned above caused by ME!! New Edelbrock carb has just 50 miles on it as well as near brand new tires. Mileage of 152k probably accurate. Front seats from Spirit D/L. Original seats in plastic bags. No rips in upholstery; wear along trim of door panel near window glass. Some age related broken plastic at driver seat adjuster cover and holders of seat belt buckles; scratches in hatch on plastic areas covering rear tires. Considering 37 years old, this car has been taken care of.
Purchased from AMO owners living in GA, this SE car was a barn find about 1986 and owned by couple for 29 years. I'm an AMO member as well and purchased last year on impulse trying to relive an area of my youth. I had ordered this model with 304 4sp in Oct 1978 in black; never liked the black but liked the car. Mine was traded off about 1986 with low miles but needing valve job?. I've not driven this vehicle more than 100 miles since acquiring it. I have attended a couple of local car shows and it has been garage stored during my ownership and probably during most of the time w/previous owner. You will surely be the only one in town with a car like this!! As I approach 70 next month, I'm reevaluated my transportation needs as it were and decided that I've enjoyed ownership but wish to pass this unusual model on. Advertised locally and reserve the right to discontinue listing if sold.
