                                                      FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

   PITTSBURGH, PA  July 20, 2005. . . . . Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation
(NYSE: AP) had sales of $62,347,000 and $121,241,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, against sales of $53,646,000 and
$100,432,000 for the comparable prior year periods.  Net income for the
three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $3,146,000 or $0.32 per share
and $939,000 or $0.10 per share and for the six months ended June 30, 2005
and 2004 was $4,649,000 or $0.48 per share and $2,247,000 or $0.23 per
share, respectively.  Income from operations approximated $4,083,000 and
$6,355,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 against
$1,571,000 and $3,193,000 for the comparable prior year periods.

   Operating income in the quarter for the Forged and Cast Rolls segment
increased as shipments and prices improved as a result of greater demand
from steel producers throughout the world.  In addition, the segment
finalized its 2004 flood-related business interruption insurance claim
recording income of $1,717,000 in the quarter for a six month total of
$2,320,000.  Although sales for the Air and Liquid Processing group were
essentially flat compared to the same quarter in the prior year, earnings
were lower as demand, in particular for air handling equipment, remained
poor.

   Operating results of the Corporation for the remainder of the year are
expected to strengthen as the sales and margins of the Forged and Cast
Rolls segment increase; however, the improvement will be lessened by a
reduction in expected earnings of the Air and Liquid Processing group.
