AMX/3 ? Who knew

[C Body Bob]

I just discovered this car. It's called the AMX/3 Apparenty 6 where made & another was completed later from spare parts. Powered by an AMC 390 & a special 4 speed transaxle. All 7 cars are accounted for. The one in the picture belongs to a guy in Michigan. It needs restoring so apparently it was driving quite a bit or stored outside. Anyone have more info on these rare cars

 

[C Body Bob]

Quick Google search turned up a lot of info

I remember them. Seems to me they were even featured on a magazine ad, but I could be wrong.

I had no idea there were any sold though.

Reminds me of the De Tomaso Pantera. I like this better though. Very cool.

A good looking sports car. Would've been a hoot to drive too.
Aluminium construction?

I like that and I also like this. AMC certainly did come up with some cool cars. The Javelin/AMX, the Rebel and the AMX/2 and AMX/3 are just some that come to mind. It's hard to believe that they share even any DNA with the Pacer. The one thing that I always thought that AMC needed during the musclecar era was a bigger engine option than the 390 and 401. In my opinion something bigger, say 434 ci or so, would've been perfect as their big muscle motor.

Steel, although IIRC the first was fiberglass. There is a guy building kits of this car now. Super cool find! Any more pictures C Body Bob?

Yea. I'll post some more.

That is such a cool car. It would have been something if AMC had put it in production (beyond the 7) and built a few. The yellow car is a needle in a haystack find, love it!

Transaxle. Mid/rear engine.

I remember seeing the red one on display at the Milwaukee plant on the rotating display on Richards Street.

I had the Hotwheels version, about as close as I'll ever get to the real thing.

This looks like a Meadowbrook Concourse circle display.
My GTO was displayed in a Muscle Car Circle at Meadowbrook years ago.
