This is an early production “glove-box†AMX model, with dash number: # 01133. The car has a completely rebuilt and balanced 390 V-8 with factory original intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, and chrome valve covers. The engine is strong and smooth!

The Interior has reproduction Legendary seat covers in the original “ventilair†style; the carpet is new, and all the door panels, dash, and hard parts are in excellent condition and have been re-dyed the factory original shade of red.

The front windshield retains a state inspection sticker dated 1972. Factory options include tachometer, electric wipers, headlight buzzer, power disc brakes, headrests, heavy-duty cooling, T-10 4-spd, “twin-grip†differential (3.15), chrome magnums, red-line tires, and chrome bumper extensions. This car turns heads! And it’s as sweet to drive as it is to look at and listen to!

If you're a serious buyer I'd be glad to share more restoration pics, videos, invoices, and the known history of this car with you. I welcome inspections by you or your agent. The car is listed for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end this listing. |
