When I was a junior in high school, there was a guy two years older than me that had two 69 AMX's and a 67-68 Shelby. Cool cars back in '75 to see.

You are a good solid man to think of something like this for your father, truly all heart.

This ones at the top of your range but it looks like a nice example for the money-
original sales documents, looks clean in and out.

The best advice anyone can give for buying a classic car is to buy the nicest example you can afford if all you want to do is tinker. I consider a daily driver like the example below to be ready for tinkering and low on discouragement. Well in pictures and description at least.

Sooper,
Thanks for the kind words and for the link. That car looks like it would be the ideal candidate.
I certainly will be watching that auction.

Unfortunately the car is no longer for sale...

Don't know a thing about the car or the owner, but sure looks great!

Good hunting!

He said he's looking for an AMX, not a Javelin. Huge difference.

Thanks for all the help and for keeping an eye out. Keep the ads and leads coming.

I restored and gave my father a 1956 Cushman Eagle scooter a few years ago as a X-mas gift. He had dreamed of owning one as a teen in the 50's. He still tells everyone he meets who will listen the story of how I suprised him with it. If the AMX was your dad's "dream car" when he was young, I am sure he will really treasure the gift like my father did/does his Cushman.

Tim, thanks for the post and inspiration! Even brought a tear to my eye reading it as I know my father would ahve the same response.
This just seems like something that I HAVE to do.

Thank you again, Jeremy

I have actually been in that factory some years back - it was closed down, empty and anbandoned but you could still see the imprint of the AMC logo on the building. For me very cool

What a great idea and a good son.

Can I adopt U? I like old XKE's?

I always want the AMC Eagle AWD for a snow car.
