Test Drive 1970 AMC AMX 4 Speed SOLD $27,900 Maple Motors

[@BUNKERJR53]

I am a GM person but I've always had a thing for AMX and Javelins. Tough looking cars. I'd be a little concerned about the rust but that's to be expected on older cars. Love that paint and stripping. Power to weight on these are amazing. It should go quick. Thanks for the demo Nick.

[@johndrake2729]

Lovely AMX in a lovely light blue color. Love it. Glad to see this one as a stock, unlike with the highly modified AMX you previously featured.

[@jcc777]

Probably the best value I have seen on a classic car in that good of condition I have seen in a while. Not only is it a car that will hold it’s own against a similar pony car of the era. The lack of initial popularity only adds to its rarity. Why would you want a Mustang or a Camaro similarly equipped where any car show you may take it to will have to compete with dozens of other carbon copies. When you could come in with something nobody else has.

[@mastergunnerysgt1258]

This AMX is truly something you do not see every day. The body style is very cool a long with the Javelins. If you like this car before Chrysler took them over, you will never see this body style again. For the price will only go up. The rust is no big deal for we use steel to replace body parts and no bondo. For there are many good people though out the country that would do the same for you. So let the good times roll. Old Master Gunnery SGT USMC.

[@badcarrera]

Awesome car and well worth the money. The only issue with AMXs is the parts can be tough to find. But this car has already been restored so a lot of the tough to find parts have already been replaced. I wish I needed a toy!

[@pdg61met]

Amazing how simple things were before technology

[@mikemalone4287]

I looked at this car on Sunday and it's super nice it's clean and the body is in great shape I'm surprised its still there because it's not something you see very often like mustangs or Chevelle's .in my opinion whoever buys this one is getting a very nice AMC

[@linhunnicutt6556]

This is a car from my childhood.

[@DarrenPugh-r6u]

Needs a tremec 5 speed.

Right on

You don't see these old cars anymore 👍 should sell quick 🔥

Hoo-boy, she's leaking from a couple places, looks good though.

[@strokermaverick]

Rust prevention! Blessing, in disguise. 😀

[@stevehei8035]

Valdez oil leak all on the bottom drivetrain! Hmm😊

[@mikedrake5373]

I like that 70 AMX, but it's a little oily underneath. 👍😁

[@strokermaverick]

Appears to be be in pretty good shape! Beautiful AMX! Wouldnt take much to get it right! Body and engine, wise. Seems, like a decent price. A little engine reseal or rebuild. Thats, minor. A labor of love. If it was near perfect, it would be $60-70,000.

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

I miss my 1970 AMX 360 4-speed Go Package. Most fun car I ever had.

[@harrybalsak3508]

Never been a huge fan of AMC, but this AMX is a real beauty and in pretty good shape. Plus I believe 1970 is the last year of AMX as a stand alone model, then on they were Javelin AMX.

[@johndrake2729]

Yep, 1970 was the final year.

[@williamgreen1489]

You guys do great test drives. Your prices are reasonable also, great job!

[@rosemaryscialdone7021]

Check the bottom of the block toward the rear of the engine to find out the size of the motor.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great looking AMX, should sell fast!

[@Simon-hf3lw]

I had several AMC automobiles and the never let me down specially the engine 👍

[@michaelharrison6978]

Wowwwww what a sweet javlin. These dont come along much. Alot of people thought they were ugly but i always liked them there unique an different an the 390 with the 4 speed was a fun lil car. Wow would Love to add this to my collection. Nice damn AMC nick!!!

[@awbtel1]

Nice car! I would love to park it next to my 1970 AMC AMX 390 4speed! It is the color my car was originally.

[@xero402]

Back when I started driving (1970) there was more than a few of these in my area. Seems like a lot of them were orange or bright green.

[@rexshepherd4062]

Would love to know if that ram air worked. Didnt see a vacuum hose on the actuator.

[@edsonfrancisco9042]

Câmbio automático é mais confortável, ok , mas o manual proporciona maior prazer ao dirigir!!!👍

[@mikemaloney8531]

That has the rim blow steering wheel

[@mikecernick5575]

It’s a rim blow steering wheel you have to pinch the surrounding steering wheel to make the horn blow . 360 is a dam shame cause that’s a very decent car likely 120,000 miles if the engine had to be replaced pice seems very reasonable for what you have . Nice find guys

[@jordanlionofjudah3904]

Hey what's better than a light blue 4 spd AMX ? Song: Hey I'm on the road and I got my blue jeans on !! I'm rolling down the road in my AMX It's a light blue monster with 4 on the floor I'm shifting thru the gears just put it in 4 th !! Crusing thru Tenessee with Nick and the boys Just saw Daisy Duke and Bo and Luke I think that's Enus just came over the hill !! Gotta hammer down now just saw Boss Hogg!

[@jasonpursley3206]

Solid looking AMX. Thorough examination!

[@vrm86gt]

we stopped by the car lot and admired the inventory when wife and I were visiting my brother in Nashville July of '21!

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thanks 🇺🇸

[@madmike2624]

Nice ride! First manual transmission I ever drove was in one of those, and it did not go well....lol

[@bradf1467]

Looks like uncle Jed was shooting for some food underneath there.

[@jesuschristpose896]

Absolutely love these cars

[@cec3ful]

Not a bad looking car I had a 68 or a 69 when I was a kid but it never looked as good as that one does!👏

[@reginalddentry7338]

Best muscle car design beautiful

[@viper2148]

If its mechanics are as good as its looks $27k is a steal. Curious about the availability of parts.

[@8avexp]

The 360 is a good engine. Looks like the correct factory Hurst Competition Plus shifter. My '69 had the wrong speedometer driven gear when I got it. Put the correct one in.

[@savedin87ify]

O.M.G. I am in love. That is a beautiful AMX fo a 1970 it I had the money she would be mine.

[@stevescrews447]

Looking for something different here's the ride to consider what a find this is beautiful lines solid street cruiser

[@sigmamale7241]

'70 favorite year...Nice example!

[@KimL1000]

The 70 AMX was nice but the real beast was the 72 AMX.

[@rexshepherd4062]

It came with a 401 small block. All AMC cars were small block. My 390 car would smoke a 401 because it had some goodies.

[@goldstandardaviation1667]

Best part of the car is missing. I don't think $28K for a muscle car without its original engine is reasonable. Im not surprised it hasn't sold.

[@ryanmuir6338]

I'm more worried about what it looks like underneath, check out Kiwi Classics and Customs channel for an example kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZyoeoutd6mXedU

Maple gets the sexy rides

[@JohnLiotta]

I would have bought it for 35k

[@psychomormon4932]

Sorry, but that’s a leaking rust bucket of a car. Whomever tried to “restore” didn’t remove any of the rust, they just painted over it. The undercarriage is full of oil too. Usually the vast majority of your cars are pretty rust free and are priced great. Not this one, I’d pass. But like always, we appreciate your honesty. Someone with skills can definitely redo this AMX. But for someone who just wants an immediate classic to ride around without spending further money in it, this might not be the car for them…unless they don’t care about leakage and rust issues. Is the car rare enough to justify the price? It all depends. AMC is a love it or leave it model, The only AMC I’ve ever owned was a 1966 Marlin. It was kinda of an ugly looking car, but it was a four speed and was a great driver. Had it way back in the 90s. I sold it and bought a 240z. I also eventually sold the Datsun. Nowadays, I drive a 65 Mustang coupe restomod. Love your channel. 90% of your cars are awesome and offers the best prices of classics anywhere. 5 stars!

[@rexshepherd4062]

Thats a space saver tire. It inflates woth that canister in the wheel. I never used mine when i owned my 70

[@paulbryans1732]

I really like this AMX !! One question I have though Nick, does this one make about 98 out of the last 100 that the horn doesn’t work? Lol love the videos Nick! Keep up the good work

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

I believe so lol

[@A70AMX]

⁠@@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate AMX had a rimblow steering wheel, horn switch is located on the inside of the steering wheel all around. Don’t know how many times the AMX center emblem has been pushed through😫
