Never knew these existed....Pretty sweet....

...Hat's off to anyone who tackles a major restoration...

I always liked those AMX muscle cars.....but seemed like they could never quite shake the "Rambler" stigma.....

Very nice!

I've always thought the AMX never got the respect it deserved.

IMO it's kinda fugly, certainly dated. Very much overpriced for a skeleton.

Rich people are ruining the classic car marketplace.

A ratted out car should be an attainable find. It's a hunk of metal—yes, a classic hunk of metal, but a hunk nonetheless—with a future that is uncertain. The parts required to restore it will be almost impossible to find, and some may never be found, and yet someone wants a metal garage statue for over $235k, and even worse someone else thinks that price isn't high enough.

I was looking at the lines of it. You can almost see the style in a Matador I think it was called. Always liked Javelins. They set a lot of records on the salt.
