1969 AMC AMX
1969 AMC AMX—Technical Data
- Information
There were few changes to the AMX for 1969. The base price increased by $52 and a new 140 mph speedometer was included in a new dashboard, which included a hood panel cover. A special series of “Big Bad AMX” were built mid year. The “Big Bad AMX” option cost just $34 and included wild (at least for AMC) colors with body colored bumpers.
A Hurst Competition Plus shifter was announced at the same time for the Borg—Warner four speed manual transmission.
All engine choices carried over starting with the base 290 ci V8 rated at 225 hp. For a $45 more, the buyer could add the 343 ci V8 rated at 280 hp and the top of the line 390 ci V8 rated at 290 hp for just $123 more. The 390 engine was topped by a pair of 650 cfm Holley four—barrels on an Edelbrock aluminum cross—ram intake. Doug's headers and other modifications resulted in a conservative advertised output of 340 hp.- Engines Available
