From my Hemmings feedbag:

https://www.hemmings.com/auction/1968-amc-amx-brookfield-ns-107648/sold

Seems pretty inexpensive to me, though maybe that's a side-effect of looking at Mopar prices !

I have a soft spot for an early AMX. And yes, That was cheap

Agree.....nice looking car, I really do like the AMX and would love to own one someday. Many of them are 4 speeds. Guessing the automatic may have impacted the price on this particular one?

That price was really good for the buyer. Nice looking car.
There is local guy by me, who has a '69 AMX 390 automatic. Dark forest green
with white stripes. He bought it new, after coming back from Vietnam.

A guy had one in the car club I was in, it was 390 4 speed.. was black on black. Sure was cool since 2 seater. Not sure if it was factory black or not. That car ran well and looked good. AMC knew what a person wanted when they made them.

I did a lot of work on one years ago for a friends Dad.

They are neat little cars and his had a shift kitted 727 and 4.10 gears.

It was a lot of fun on the street!

Not cheap, lots to clean up like the wrong color paint, Holley junk injection & yep, it’s an auto, best to convert to 4 speed or a later torqueflite 727, those iron case BW automatics were slugs.
