We have a one owner 1969 Dodge Charger in our showroom. It is pretty nice, he has a copy of the original window sticker and this one came with the White Hat package.....it is red/orange with a white vinyl roof and white bucket seats with the center console. It has the 383 2bbl and the original wheel covers, and it has turn signals in the hood. He is asking about $30k for it and he has had some interest. He lives out in the country and it was just sitting in his barn. He did not clean it up very well before he brought it here, we just got the last of the black widow spiders out of it, and it still has ashes i the ash tray (the good ol' days when you could smoke in your car and not get a ticket). It is a neat car and the has a lot of personality but boy did they just slap them together back then, huge gaps crocked moldings, lots of plastic....but is fun to see how they used to design them.

Do you have any pictures?

Who knows, you may find a buyer here.

Here's a link to a thread that explains how to add pictures - click here

If you don't feel like messing with it, just send the pictures to me at xdcx@dealershipforum.com and I'll add them for you. (That's what our member dodgequality does, although he might be a year or two older than you are....)

Nice! Looks like all original trim inside from what I can see. Looks like may have had a repaint from what appears to be some overspray on the rubber inside the door, but a very nice original equipped car. Most of them went thru 2 or 3 of us young guys back in the 70's and wound up with lots of modifications...shackles, duals, aftermarket hood scoops, wheels and tires, etc... Great color combo too...nothing better than "hemi orange" or "torred" with white top and guts!

I thought of this thread when I noticed that Allpar has a new write-up about the AMX which includes sales volumes and several photographs. Here's a link to their write-up - click here

Concerning the photos, I never noticed the funky switch placement AMC used for the headlights, windshield wipers, etc. You've got to hand it to AMC, they always seemed to do things a little different.

Additionally, the AMX-400 Concept Car is a fitting piece of 1970s Americana...

Chevy SS = Super Stock
Ford GT = Gran Turismo
Dodge R/T = Road and Track

AMC SST =Super Sonic Transport

How about those "Big Bad" colors.

Tons of AMC's here in Kenosha! Here is my buddys 68 AMX

possum · 08-13-2010, 05:01 AM

WOW, that is a great shot. The AMX was too late in the Pony Wars, but a car that is more collected now, than then.

steve_biegler · 08-13-2010, 08:38 AM

Both beautiful cars in a great setting. I'll take the AMX! More of a true muscle car......the only TRACTION CONTROL is the area between your ears thats connected to your right foot!

XDCX · 08-13-2010, 10:29 AM

Great picture - can you tell us where it was taken? (I'm assuming that's Lake Michigan in the background?)

As a side note, I've only been to Kenosha on one occasion about 15 years ago. I never saw that many Alliances/Encores in one location since.

On a different note, I was sorry to read that Chrysler's closing their Engine Plant in Kenosha. I remember hearing stories that Kenosha (Under AMC control) did a better job of building Chrysler's old M-Body (Diplomat and Fifth Avenue) than Chrysler did. That was back in the day when Iacocca outsourced the M-Body to AMC because Chrysler didn't have the plant capacity to continue to build it. Those were the good old days...
