That was a 68' I think, a 2 seater? Glad I didn't smash mine, especially with me in it. I kept 2-bags of cement in the trunk to keep the rear end down.

Would love to get one but the garage is full and the honyack's cars are in the driveway the poor thing.

Ah yes, the cement bags. It was 68 and a blast to drive as you know. Fun fact; those cars were 3 inches shorter than a Corvette.

Phil, I love the look of your AMX, especially the white color. Although I have never been into performance cars, I loved the looks of the 1968-70 2-seater AMC AMX. In the early 1980's, I purchased this rust-free (originally a CA car), hunter-green 1969 AMX and used it as my daily driver to work (I had a relatively short commute) for several years, until the engine began to burn oil and I sold it. I wish I had kept it and had the engine rebuilt. Actually, a performance car guy probably would not have been interested in this particular car because it had the basic 290 V-8 engine - I think most 1969 AMXs were sold with either the 343 or 390 V-8 engines.

Nice car Val, they were so light even with the 290 they would get up and go. Nowadays you can get a rebuilt HP 390 for about the same price as 2-3 14CJ HOFers and just drop it in.

Now let's say I was interested in picking up a Spirit, Eagle, Pacer etc. Where would I look?

I hate to highjack this thread by referring to the original post, but the SGC 2 Magie at REA is up to $12,500. It closes tomorrow.
