AMC - AMX Spirit - 1979

1979 AMC AMX – Rare V8 Hatchback, Swiss Delivered, Fully Serviced A truly striking example of late-1970s American muscle, this 1979 AMC AMX combines bold styling, V8 performance, and the practicality of a hatchback. Originally Swiss-delivered and fully documented, the car has enjoyed a long history in the Netherlands, including display in a dedicated AMC museum. With (1)45,856 km shown on the clock and a comprehensive recent service, this AMX is fully road-ready while preserving its original character — perfect for collectors and enthusiasts who want a car that’s both usable and historically significant. Body and Paint Finished in its original factory yellow with black and orange AMX striping, the exterior shows well-preserved paint with minor age-related imperfections consistent with its 1979 production. Rubber seals, windows, chrome, and lights are all in good condition. Body panels are original and solid. Minor age-related spots may appear in the future, but nothing urgent — this car can be driven and enjoyed as-is for many years to come. Technical Condition Powered by the original 304 ci (5.0L) V8, the engine runs smoothly with the classic RWD V8 feel. The automatic transmission and torque converter have been fully rebuilt and shift effortlessly. A comprehensive recent service ensures the car is mechanically excellent: brake system overhauled (master cylinder, calipers, discs, hoses, rear shoes, cylinders), all ball joints replaced, car aligned, new tires fitted and balanced, carburetor rebuilt, engine seals replaced, fuel tank renewed, lighting and windscreen washer system repaired, air conditioning refilled, exhaust repaired, ignition system serviced, and all fluids refreshed (engine oil, ATF-D, coolant). The AMX starts reliably in both hot and cold conditions and is fully road-ready. Interior The black sport interior is original and well-maintained, featuring a rare sunroof option. Upholstery, dashboard and door cards are all in excellent condition. All interior components are original. Documentation The car comes with Dutch registration (R-874-XG), valid APK until January 2027, and a binder of factory documents, service intervals, and invoices. It is originally Swiss-delivered, with proof of import and a long history in the Netherlands, including time in a dedicated AMC museum. Additional Information Mileage: (1)45,856 km Rear-wheel drive (RWD) 4 seats, 3-door hatchback Rare and highly collectible in Europe Fully serviced, road-ready, and museum-quality provenance
