Perhaps the AMC AMX/3 could have given the competition a run for their money, it certainly had what it took when it was launched in 1970. With a huge American mid-engine, Italian chassis technology, an exciting design and a comparatively low price, it could have been a smash hit. But it never went into series production. For various reasons. This report portrays one of the six AMX/3s built and still in existence and tells the exciting story of the mid-engined sports car.
If things had gone differently, the American Motors Corporation AMX/3 of the late sixties could have become the best and fastest American sports car of its time. But the project was abandoned, despite the fact that AMC engineers, together with ItalDesign, BMW and Bizzarrini/Diomante, had succeeded in developing a very competitive mid-engined sports car. Until recently, the contributions of ItalDesign and BMW were only known in part, but now this report can finally tell (almost) the whole story of this unusual development.
"Pretty weird" is the comment often heard when you turn up in an AMC Gremlin. And people don't mean the lines of the rear, but rather the whole car. However, the unusual shape also makes the car a cult object. From 1970 to 1978, the American Motors Corporation built the short Gremlin in response to the flood of imported cars in the USA. They even beat the big three, who only followed suit later. This report tells the story of the AMC Gremlin and portrays one of the now rare examples.
The AMC Spirit is hardly a well-known name in Europe, although the coupé won the first American class victory in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in 1979. The basic version was also equipped with an Audi engine, similar to that used in the Porsche 924. And as an AMX version, the Spirit was actually almost the last "muscle car" of the old generation. This vehicle report tells the story of the AMC Spirit and its links with Europe.
