Project AMXpress - 1974 AMX
 

Gots me a new project! I bought it off of DDY RCKT on here and must say, he's a top notch guy! Gave me a killer deal and he even delivered it for me!

My current plans are to fix some minor things and then drive it while I finish the Patriot Dream car. Once the guy comes and gives me the rest of the cash for my Bandit in a few weeks, I'm going to be buying a set of 15x8.5 Torque Thrust Ds to drive around on for the time being, and then redoing the exhaust with some shorties and 3" true duals out the back (currently longtubes and pipes out the side = loud and too low) and replacing the floorboards, then I'm gonna just enjoy driving it.

So, here are the pics! I'll try and get some more this week after I get it registered and legal.

And a little video with the exhaust leak and carb that needs rebuilding

I dare you to fix up the interior and leave the rest as is. That car represents the Zenith of 70's design. The dash is the best part. Looks like a NASA engineer thought that up. I have always liked that car. Being from Northern Illinois (Close to Kenosha) that car is in my DNA, mullet and all.

Hell yes! Wanna trade this beast for my second gen firebird? :thumbsup:

Bryan.....that thing is BadA$$! Love the token Keystones. Every time I see one they have those. Too bad it's not that gold color with drab green interior.

That is a cool car
 

How cool is that dash?

We need a poll. How many of us actually agree on something for a change?
I think it's funny as hell that we all say "Love IT"

Get it running and rock that sucker like it is!!

You should change those seats out for a milk crate first though... Like a real AMC.

It already runs and drives! There are a few minor things I need to do to it before I drive it a lot, but right now it is a driver. I hope to have the seatbelts back in it and the headlights working this week, then I'm gonna have to put a better starter in it. Last weekend I drove it to the car wash and the starter gave up on me. Had to get two guys to help me push start it. :lol:

Looks pretty good you don't see many amx still around what are the seats out of?

Oh man, you guys are making me feel sad again. I had that car for about 7 years! I just couldn't find the time to track down the pieces and parts with my job schedule, which is the reason for my 2nd Gen Camaro. Jegs has most of the stuff, and I can have it in two days.

The 74 AMX is one of my all time favorite cars, the shape is as alluring as they come. One day I'm going to buy it back, after he's got it all fixed up. :unibrow:

I'm just happy to have been able to find it a home that will appreciate it.

The seats, BTW, are some "racing seats" I found on Ebay, and fabricated up some seat rails to mount them in the car. The original seats were so rotten and broken, they couldn't be salvaged, unfortunately.

Man, I'm going to miss that car. But I'm so happy I get to watch the progess here on :lateral:
