The Pantera received the 351 so the AMX/3 only needed the 360 to compete. Car #4 and #6 received 360ci engines because they were cheaper, and this would have been the "base" engine in the AMX/3 but also likely was the '70 390 production had ended and '71 401 engines were not yet available and/or cash was that tight at AMC. Only the hood scoop styled on Car #2 remains from the earlier prototypes.
This car was finished to show quality by Bizzarrini and Diomante for the October 1970 Turin show.
The first fully developed AMX/3 produced with the design evolution changes from AMC including longer rear quarters with smooth fender well lips, heavily flared fender wells, full door window glass, semi-concealed wipers by the raised cowling area and new style radiator hood vents. Remains the original "azzurro" teal blue. Giotto Bizzarrini: "I would have to say the AMX/3 was the best car I built in terms of mechanical components and roadholding."Ĭar #4 "The 1971 Production Prototype Show Car" Chassis WTDO 363 4/55/55 Turin Show Car, Oct 28 - Nov 8 1970. Many thanks and gratitude to the owners of the AMX/2, Car#0, Car#1, Car#4 and Car#6 for all their continued input and generosity on this website! Input, questions, comments, additions and photos are highly encouraged especially on the history timeline please! I created this site in early 2017 for one purpose: share historically accurate information on the AMX/K-AMX/3 project and fully document the entire project including all cars, answering all questions and correcting misreported information. Seven AMX/3 complete cars, one AMX/2 restored fiberglass Design Concept Push-Mobile, one AMX/K raw shell and one AMX/3 fiberglass Design Concept Push-Mobile unrestored, all survive. Nine original AMX/3 chassis survive and all current locations and complete provenance since 1968 are now documented.
