AMX/3:
AMC's regular production mid-engined sports car.....if only.....

Note that in the artwork above, the car has no side-marker lights, no wipers,
and the black hood inserts have no vent louvres. The door mirrors are body colored.

The following are the pictures I've collected recently, trying to detail the differences between the 6 or 7 existing AMX/3s. Your opinions and observations are welcome and invited.

For those unaware of the history of these cars, here's the basics: AMC considered replacing it's 1968-70 Javelin-based 'AMX' two-seat sports car with a mid-engine, Italian-inspired sports car for the 1971 model year. Various prototypes were considered, with the 'AMX/3' version being the one that came closest to going into full-production. Sadly, the project was cancelled after a mere half-dozen (approx.) prototypes were built. These pictures are of those that survive today.
