Steve Magnante is the best in his field.

[@highoctaneclassics3969]

Right the man is amazing

[@CIAVE]

I cannot even begin to imagine how much fun that would be to drive...

[@frankcastle5294]

The 68-70 AMX remains to this day as one of the most beautiful American cars ever built. And if you owned one with the 390 and 4 speed in a big bad color and the Go-Pak option you had yourself one hell of a fast and rare car.

[@ancientheart2532]

Love the sound of hinged hood springs.

[@scottpreble3330]

A freind of mine had one. That car rode and handled better than my 77 olds cutlass. Not to mention very fast. Very under rated car

[@sonnyjenkins9202]

Like it great looking AMX

[@billa8603]

Had a 1970 Javelin for many years...my first car. Bought it in 74' from old man at dealership...had all papers. I painted an eagle across the white hood put red stripes on it. Stood out of other cars. I worked on the base commissary and MPs would salute the eagle as I came in. Lol

[@StingrayLS7]

This man knows his cars he made the Barrett Jackson auction worth watching. I went to see him when he came up to Vancouver Canada for a car auction at the Pacific Coliseum the cars there were nothing to get excited about but Steve made it very entertaining sharing his knowledge of the cars on the block THANKS STEVE keep them coming .....

[@TheWhitetailrancher]

Had a buddy that had one of those in high school......nice strong car

[@mikehotchkiss8975]

What you shell out for Steve is well worth it

[@uhfnutbar1]

There never was a "Big Block" 290,304,343,360,390, and 401 V8 engine, there all same casting other then internal changes, to make things simple AMC casted the C.I. in each side of the block :)

[@Ray56z]

Steve said 'Big Dog' not big block. There wasn't a 304 available in '68-weren't released until '70, and the 304 was never available in the AMX. Steve may have gotten '68 and '69 inverted when speaking of the available size motors-'69 only had the 3 available. '70 only had the 360 and 390 with far better heads than the '68 and '69 of the same motors. I owned all 3 years at the same time, '70 was my favorite.

[@WayneB27]

I think that is actually the Mark Donahue Javelin rear spoiler on that AMX , the group 19 optional one was an adjustable aerofoil type.

[@CarsandCats]

Wow! Look at the bubbles in that hood paint. The hood needs to be stripped and repainted.

[@danmarinelli7865]

Super nice for 20 year old paint tho

[@antoniovillanueva308]

So many videos in one day. It is a good day!

[@joevald3]

Very underestimated car .............. I actually raced one years ago I bought from Pete Peterson . Well-known Pete's Patriot . The car was capable easily running 10.70 but could go way faster . The weak point was the tires . Later on they would go in the 10.40s current or they can go on the nines . Because of aftermarket parts that are allowed . The downside was they had to run the Fairlane thunderbolt . Which was one bad ass car. Capable of stupid speeds .... They own ss/c .. The go package that you spoke of was a performance option then for AMC .

[@chuckwagon5518]

Back in my early 20's my friends all had muscle cars. My buddy Pete had a 1970 AMX and raced my friend Jerry's 1969 383 Magnum Roadrunner. The AMX lost 3 out of 3. Then Pete raced my friend Willy's 1970 Nova and got beaten worse than the by the Roadrunner. Months later, another friend Michael, bought a 1969 396 Chevelle and yep... you guessed it...the Chevelle beat the AMX so bad that Pete wouldn't race him again! A month later Pete sold his AMX and bought a 1969 Pontiac Firebird with a 400 ci engine. He eventually got rematches with the Nova and Roadrunner, beating the Nova and tying the Roadrunner (they only raced once as the RR had some type of front-end problem). Fate prevented the Chevelle and Firebird from eventually racing as our friend Michael passed away after a brief illness. Those were great hot rod days!

[@DaveyboyJonez]

Nice story. I had a 68 OHC 4.9 litre 6cyl firebird with a 70 GTO 400 in it when I bought it and raced a 1968 or 9 Road Runner with a 383. We were pretty even for 20 ft before I pulled away. He asked me what I had, and told him while we were in the race. I then raced a shit box black primer Nova 68-72 don't know the year, and he blew by me with a 6 cylinder 3 or 4 speed. I was shocked, and never raced again seriously from that embarrassing moment when I was 18. Everything is a sleeper

[@AMCguy]

i know a guy who would smoke the hell out of novas and fords with his amx. mopars are tough to beat. but the 390 he had could rev to 8k and coupled to a t10, he would kick ass out the gate

[@w41duvernay]

This car was really done well. I love the aftermarket stuff on it like Edelbrock, 5spd, Summit ignition box.

[@chevken1831]

How do you like that interior?!

[@richardmckrell4899]

The wood dash looks like a kid made it in wood shop.

[@CarsandCats]

Looks better than those seats!

[@feefyefoefum]

Or like something you'd see in an old boat, lol.

[@BubbaSmurft]

You're too kind... it's not that well done.

[@Greatdome99]

By a twelve year old.

[@johncholmes643]

Interior looks like shit

[@walterneville2625]

STEVE IS AWESOME, A TRUE WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE

[@MichaelandCathy1999]

Was always my “bucket list” vehicle, still looking for a 401ci.

[@karlsracing8422]

Pricey

[@cuzz63]

A nice 69 popped up in my area on Facebook Marketplace has a 401 and a tremec

[@auteurfiddler8706]

Steve managed to find a beautiful car. That has almost none of it's original equipment.

[@richardthompson6366]

That is one beautiful car.

[@CarsandCats]

Steve's becoming quite the used car salesman.

[@jamespetersen3933]

If that's what it takes to keep doing his podcast, then keep selling those cars.

[@JT-SE-OHIO]

Back in the day I don't remember seeing an orange one but this one looks good, different in a good way. One of my friend's had a blue one with engine mods and a 4 speed and it was impressive. Wasn't many other AMC's around with V8's that I rode in to compare it to a stock one. I do remember that his had a lot of torque at low rpm's. There is probably an AMC lover out there that can't live without this one. It should sell quick unless it has a Barrett-Jackson (crazy) price tag.

[@larrybettie7153]

Thats a nice one real sharp my uncle had a black one years ago with white stripes , 390 ,an 4 speed

[@coolbreeze5561]

Great car love those AMCs keep em going eh

Un-WHOLY sUper Aweosme Steve!! Wow!

[@richardhernandez3088]

Nice man 🔥💯🔥💯

[@danb.3397]

Well, not sure all those changes enhance or detract from the value. I think I would want OEM.

[@TheopolisQSmith]

Much more of a restomod than a classic car. As others have noted, dash, interior, paint etc. seems nicely done but not anywhere near original.

[@chefduane3742]

A friends big brother had one of these in metallic blue. It was a screamer.

[@mb13972]

Steve, it would really be helpful if you left a link to your website in the description. thanks

[@powerwheelscd]

The hooded dash is '69, and so is the BBO color/bumper

[@gabefunday145]

Cool 911 back there

[@PETERNESS]

is this Nachos car from better call saul ? been trying to identify that car for years ,greeting from Australia love your channel

[@stringslinger5504]

Yeah the AMC model 20 rear end is heavy duty, until you put your foot in it and the splines on the hubs strip out. Had it happen on 3 amc products and was a common problem if you built some ponies into your block.

[@zxtenn]

5 speed so you can run 411/456 gears and still cruise at 65-70. Did they offer the 360 also in 69? Title says 1968 1968 AMC AMX Walkaround with Steve Magnante

[@antoniovillanueva308]

Sweeeeet!

[@Rick-S-6063]

1968 was the first year for the AMX, the caption says 1968 and the VIN indicates a 1968, so why did you refer to it as a 1969 ten seconds into the video?

[@samholdsworth420]

Geez maybe people make mistakes lol

[@deanstevenson6527]

ay MX. A Missile, or the not Mercury Car, the Javelin based beast spear fished beyond its humble tribes traditional grounds. Despite random steering and its lack of cohesive market...it won at the drags and at the circuit. Thanks. That's one bitchin' Thursday 9 am slurpy for this dehydrated Kiwi 🥝

[@kennydemartini2169]

The car has potential. Spend a few grand de-hillbillying the interior and engine bay, and it'll be good to go

Was it me or were other viewers really looking at that cool orange Charger in the background?

I was looking at the rims on it thinking that they HAVE to go!

Currently looking for an all original 68 with 390 go pak 4 speed want green but open to other color.anybody?

That wood dash has to go! Yikes.

[@classic287]

My favorite hood. I don’t know why they dropped that 😡

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

Not my favorite but close to it especially that color 390 4sp with centerlines and 50s on the back and cherry 🍒 bomb 💣 exhaust 😂 I keep talking it will be my favorite 😂

Jesus Christ no cherry bombs please

Whatever you do...........don't knock up your girlfriend. LOL

[@johnkemple]

terrible paint quality, the spoiler has more orange peel than an actual orange..the red paint showing through the core support under the hood. A 30 foot car at best..The tag under the hood on the shock tower doe not go there

[@rickiedeshotel3353]

Can you not touch the car? It's basic car educate.

[@randymack2222]

The 343 was a lot more durable engine than the 390.

[@jimifed2798]

I've heard that are you referring to the original pistons in the 390 broke the top ring land ? If so I think amc started to use a different piston supplier.

[@fredwarren1661]

Nothing original. More like a resto- mod. To bad.
