Muscle Cars You Should Know: '70 AMC AMX/3 Supercar Concept ...
Before we’re swarmed with angry emails laced with bad spelling and non-existent grammar, we should preface this edition of “Muscle Cars You Should Know” with the admittance that neither was the AMX/3 a muscle car nor even made it to production. Rather, we unanimously agree that the AMX/3 embodies the spirit of the race for performance’s next evolutionary step.
Understanding how this rare and exceptional piece of American muscle history earned its place begins with its more popularly known progenitors. Those of us who remember the original AMX muscle car will recall it as a stubby, two-seater version of the AMC Javelin. Manufactured from 1968 through 1970, the two-seater built a reputation and presence far greater than its total production run of less than twenty thousand units would suggest.
American Motors had done reasonably well in the sixties’ muscle car era, despite arriving a bit late. As was the case with other manufacturers, the early Javelin was developed from humble sedan roots. The company had limited resources to invest, which actually worked to the Javelin’s favor. Designer Richard Teague was forced to compromise and penned a semi-fastback roofline that became a styling signature for the company’s modern performance cars. Teague was known as a practical, yet creative, designer who could adapt a program objective to fit with lower cost solutions based on reusing existing parts already in production.
Concepts for the original Javelin had been explored in 1965, from a pair of concept cars labeled AMX/1 (American Motors Experimental) and AMX/2. The company was working to shed an image of building rather boring, blue collar vehicles. The production Javelin and AMX cars were successful in supporting this, but a more concentrated effort would be needed to signal a revolutionary new image.
To this end, Teague and other AMC executives had authorized the build of a third concept car based on a far more European design that would be known as the AMX/3. This was a mid-engined, two-seater supercar far more along the lines of what was being built by Lotus as the Esprit. Using AMC’s 390cui V8, mated to a custom Melara 4-speed transaxle and steel semi-monocoque chassis, the resulting car, was built in Italy by Giotto Bizzarrini. The ex-Ferrari engineer was an ideal fit for the project and was able to contribute strongly in making the required design happen at a realistic cost.
