You should join the AMC List if you have not already done so.  To join, visit the AMX Files, and follow the directions.  I know of some good people to call for parts and information on that, but you will need to let me know, and be patient, as I will leave tonight for two weeks for a trail run, and will not be answering mail for a while.

Rust around rear just behind wheels, typical place. Not all around the
wheels yet, mainly to rear.
No rust on tops of front fenders which happened when you didn't keep the
channels below cleaned of mud and salt, etc.
Interior rough, needs carpet and several trim parts, including the aluminum
scuff plates (the pieces across the bottom of door frame.
Rocker panels are good - but then, if I recall they were galvanized and
rarely rusted on these.
No power options - non-power brakes, non-power steering, no AC. 
Auto trans (a mopar if I recall)
Runs but needs carb rebuilt - a 2bbl on a 290 V8.
All 4 wheel cylinders ordered - they are leaking from sitting for years.
Do some looking and find that as a "project car", these aren't cheap, 
about
2 grand.
A fully loaded and restored AMX can bring 9K +

My biggest question would be how much gas mileage could one get??
I've seen V8 automatics do 27-28mpg. Used to have a 305 Camaro that did 28,
a friend has a Plymouth Fury that got about 25-26mpg.
However, my 232 6 cyl 68 Javelin did about 22mpg...........
