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.

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.
Two Cushman Eagles...should I buy them?

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.
