#American Motors AMX/3

[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

American Motors AMX/3, 1970, by Italdesign. The AMX/2 was well received despite lacking an engine so AMC followed it with a fully operational mid-engined prototype powered by American Motor's 6.4 litre V8. Giotto Bizzarrini was involved in the car's development, the suspension and mid-engine chassis. What was not acknowledged at the time was that the styling was by Italdesign. The plan had been for the car to be made by German coachbuilder's Karmann and exported to the US to compete with the De Tomaso Pantera. However soon after the AMX/3 was presented the program was cancelled.

Mike Savage New Canaan Is Your Muscular Tissue Auto Cool Enough

Ahh, to be cool. Little kids grow up having no principle of "coolness", and afterwards they struck the sixth grade. From that factor on, being "cool" gets on the top of their order of business. Muscular tissue vehicles are perpetually trendy. They have actually been trendy because day # 1, and their legend has actually expanded since. A friend of mine (who grew up in the 1960's) lately commented that there is nothing when traveling as amazing as a muscular tissue car, and he stated it in a manner that made it appear as certain as the reality that 2 +2= 4. The concern I question is, just how do you recognize if your muscle automobile is trendy sufficient?

Much like the corridors of secondary school, one might suggest that there is a position of coolness when it concerns muscle cars and trucks. Being prominent seemed to aid make some individuals cool down, but several trendy people were never ever prominent. Muscular tissue cars and trucks coincide means. (As a side note I've seen a few of the popular children from senior high school later in life ... and they do not seem rather as cool as I remember.).

Having a prominent model cars and truck (like a Mustang) offers it an instant coolness factor, while having a much less preferred model leaves it approximately the automobile's benefits to identify it's coolness. Allow's take a look at 3 muscle cars and trucks specifically and also evaluate the Cool Aspect ... and then you can establish if it's trendy enough for you to drive!

Automobile # 1 - first Gen Camaro (1967-1969).

Mike Savage New Canaan

First generation (1967-1969) Camaro's were preferred the day they were revealed. They were Chevy's answer to the Mustang as well as were similar because they were built off of an economic situation vehicle (the Chevy II ... where as the Mustang was constructed off of the Falcon). You can obtain one with a small block, a big block, one all set to drag race, or one all set to run the road training course (Z/28 style). Just buy it up as well as be sure to reserve a date for Friday evening ... which won't be tough to do. They're still preferred today as well as are one of the most searched for by collectors as well as hot rodders.

Senior High School Equivalent: The QB of the football team. Sports. Wonderful looking. He can bench press ... uh, a Camaro. Girls dig that.

Car # 2 - 1966-67 Dodge Charger.

Early generation Mopars are sort of the Apple 'Mac' of muscular tissue cars and trucks. A tiny percent of muscle mass cars and truck guys love them with utter commitment and also would certainly drive absolutely nothing else. To them, driving a Ford or Chevy would certainly resemble dishonesty on their other halves. That being claimed, the '66- '67 Charger is a very amazing automobile just from a designing as well as function perspective - the determines alone are awesome - however it's not for everyone. It really did not sell with the appeal of the '68- '70 models (or survive on endless time many thanks to the Dukes of Hazzard), yet it does have it's fans as well as can certainly hold it's own against the competitors.

High School Matching: The Captain of the Drumline. Not every person knows him, however those that do know he's obtained rhythm from head to toe. He's jammin' on drums with his buddies 24 hr a day, 7 days a week.

Automobile # 3 - AMX.

And after that there is that person. American Motors autos were always type of a fifth wheel. Several of their auto were dorky looking (the Pacer, the Gremlin, the Toreador, and so on), however the AMX was truly good looking. It was simply a little various than the standard, mainly because of it's short wheel base (VERY short) and the truth that it was a 2-seater!

Senior High School Equivalent: That individual that used a natural leather jacket and also tones. No-one knew his name. I think he's a renowned musician currently.

Summary:.

Mike Savage New Canaan

So simply why is it that we're trying to figure out if a muscular tissue car is great enough for you to drive? Well, fairly honestly ... what other factor would you need to drive one? They're bold, noisy, foul-smelling, and can be difficult to drive at times. They dislike being driven gradually as well as give you feelings of sheer delight and simultaneous horror while being strained. They require consistent wrenching as well as "tweaking" simply to remain in combating shape. Why on earth would certainly you put up with all of that when you could drive a good delighted Toyota Camry? You recognize why ... because similar to the Fonz, muscular tissue cars are trendy, as well as coolness abrades. So, in the long run, if you believe your muscular tissue vehicle is awesome - it is. That's all that issues. It's awesome sufficient. Remember though, if it's preferred, it's possibly currently awesome, yet much like secondary school ... a few of the coolest individuals were never prominent.

AMC AMX/3.

The AMC AMX/3 is a mid-engine sports car made by the United States Automobile manufacturer American Motors Corporation (AMC), which was presented in March 1970 and was to be mass-produced in Germany by Karmann from 1971. With this car, AMC wanted to counter the similarly designed De Tomaso Pantera with a competitor. The body design and drivetrain came from AMC, the chassis and suspension were developed in Europe. The design was generally attributed to Giotto Bizzarrini.

AMC 1969 AMX California 500 Special Auction

By Dave Ashton

The American Motors Corporation or AMC, may not be front of mind when it comes to priced muscle cars. But in the golden age of high displacement vehicles, AMC made some outstanding vehicles like this AMC 1969 AMX California 500 Special.

For a bit of back history, AMC was born in 1954 from the Nash and Hudson company. The merger joined the other big 3 carmakers, Chrysler, Ford and GM, pumping out general roadgoing vehicles like the Nash Metropolitan and Rambler American. It wasn’t until the mid to late 1960s that the most commonly known muscle car variations were produced. These included the likes of the AMC Marlin, AMX, 390, Javelin, The Machine, Javelin AMX 401, and the Hornet SC 360. Renault took over the reins of the company in 1979, and eventually merged into the Chrysler brand in 1990.

The AMX popped into existence in 1968, scrapping it out in the pony car market with the Chevrolet Camaro and the Ford Mustang. At the time it was the only US produced 2 seater sports car, along with the Chevrolet Corvette. The AMX(American Motors eXperimental) stood out for its short wheelbase at 97 inches, and cost less than a Corvette at $3,250.

Under the Hood

The AMX California 500 Special was sold through the Southern California American Motors Dealer Association to acknowledge the 1969 Riverside International Raceway. As the pace car that season was a Big Bad Green AMX with a 390 ci V8, the roadgoing versions were given the same treatment, with a saddle leather interior, and an engine producing 315 hp and 425 ft lbs of torque.

Only 23 of the 283 Big Bad Green AMX models became California 500 Specials. As this example is in such pristine condition, it’s expected to fetch between $100,000 – $120,000 USD at RM Sothebys at the end of April.

1979 AMC Spirit AMX – The Model That Took A Class Win At The Nürburgring 24 Hour

The 1979 AMC Spirit AMX is a car that I think deserves far more love from the car community that it currently gets. AMX was a plucky automaker up against the biggest in the world, they turned out a series of ground-breaking models including the AMC Eagle SX/4 before ceasing operations in 1987.

Race-prepared examples of the AMC Spirit AMX did remarkably well on track, including a 1st and 2nd in class with actor James Brolin sharing driving duties at the Nürburgring 24 Hour in 1979.

The AMC Spirit AMX and the Nürburgring 24 Hour

Two examples of the AMC Spirit AMX were shipped to Germany in 1979 after just three weeks of rushed preparation to compete in the brutal 1979 Nürburgring 24 Hour.

There’s no doubt that this was one of the toughest races on the calendar in 1979, if not the toughest circuit race outright. Whereas the 24 Hours of Le Mans is run on the Circuit de la Sarthe’s 13.62 kilometre (8.46 mile) length with 38 corners, the Nürburgring 24 Hour featured a 22.69 kilometre (14.1 mile) lap with 176 corners. Memorizing the track, its corners, and the racing lines needed to lap it competitively can take months.

The 1979 two-car team put together by BF Goodrich and American Motors gave their drivers just a week to learn the track. Somehow they managed it, largely thanks to the one-armed Nürburgring-ace Heinz Hennerici who lapped the track with his BMW full of the team’s drivers. He held the steering wheel with his knees while he changed gears, and his lap times were far from sedate.

The team’s drivers were IMSA (International Motor Sports Association) AMC drivers Amos Johnson and Dennis Shaw, factory Mazda driver Jim Downing (who’d later co-develop the HANS device), Lyn St. James (who would become the first woman to win the Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award), A-list actor James Brolin, and motoring journalist Gary Witzenburg.

Gary recounted the story in detail here for Motor Trend and it’s a fantastic read, the short version is that the plucky American team surprised many by qualifying 20th and 21st in the 120 car field, then finishing the race 1st and 2nd in class, 25th and 43rd overall.

The 1979 AMC Spirit AMX Shown Here

The car you see here is a very low-mileage original Spirit AMX still wearing its original (and now hard to source) decals, it has just 8,400 miles on the dial, and it’s fitted with desirable features like air conditioning, power brakes, power steering, and an AM/FM radio.

The AMX was the performance version of the AMC Spirit, a compact car based on the same basic platform as the AMC Gremlin, but with markedly improved styling that seems to have perfectly captured the zeitgeist of its era.

The AMX version of the Spirit featured up to a 304 cu. in. (5 litre) V8 with Turbocast II rims, color-matched fender flares and a front air dam, rear spoiler, a full assortment of decals, a louvred rear window, rally tuned suspension, front and rear sway bars, three-way adjustable “Strider” Gabriel shock absorbers on all four corners, heavy duty front disk brakes

The V8 was heavily detuned for the era, it was a dark time for the American V8 after all, and it produced a rather hamster wheel like 130 bhp. Owners have realised that a series of internal and bolt on engine improvements can significantly improve power, well over 250 bhp without breaking the bank.

The example you see here is fitted with the desirable 304 V8 and the 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. It’s the cleanest one we’ve ever seen come up for sale and the estimated hammer price of $6,000 to $10,000 USD is going to be very tempting.

Bizzarrini Sciabola, 1971. The American Motors AMX III was prepared for series production by Giotto Bizzarrini. The prototypes were built by the newly founded company Autofficina Salvatore Diomante, founded by Salvatore Diomante who had been plant manager at Automobili Bizzarini. When American Motors pulled the plug on the AMX III project Bizzarrini hoped to continue to produce the car and the number 6 prototype was completed with many Fiat parts (the rear lights are from the 850 Spider). A brochure was produced and it was exhibited as late as the 1976 Turin Motor Show as the Bizzarrini Sciabola but never progressed beyond a single prototype

Mike Savage New Canaan Is Your Muscle Cars And Truck Cool Enough

Ahh, to be trendy. Youngsters grow up having no idea of "coolness", and then they hit the sixth quality. From that factor on, being "cool" is on the top of their to-do list. Muscle mass automobiles are constantly cool. They have actually been awesome since day # 1, and their legend has actually grown ever since. A close friend of mine (who matured in the 1960's) just recently commented that there is nothing on the road as trendy as a muscle car, and he claimed it in a way that made it appear as certain as the reality that 2 +2= 4. The inquiry I question is, exactly how do you recognize if your muscle mass auto is awesome enough?

Similar to the corridors of secondary school, one can suggest that there is a chain of command of coolness when it involves muscle mass automobiles. Being prominent seemed to help make some individuals cool down, but several cool people were never popular. Muscular tissue vehicles coincide method. (As a side note I've seen a few of the preferred kids from senior high school later in life ... and also they don't seem quite as great as I keep in mind.).

Having a preferred design auto (like a Mustang) gives it an instant coolness element, while having a less prominent model leaves it as much as the automobile's qualities to establish it's coolness.

Auto # 1 - first Gen Camaro (1967-1969).

1st generation (1967-1969) Camaro's were prominent the day they were revealed. They were Chevy's response to the Mustang and were comparable in that they were developed off of an economic climate auto (the Chevy II ... where as the Mustang was constructed off of the Falcon). You might get one with a tiny block, a large block, one prepared to drag race, or one ready to run the road course (Z/28 style). Just purchase it up and be sure to book a date for Friday evening ... which will not be tough to do. They're still prominent today and also are among the most sought after by collectors as well as hot rodders.

Secondary School Equivalent: The QB of the football team. Athletic. Fantastic looking. He can bench press ... uh, a Camaro. Ladies dig that.

Automobile # 2 - 1966-67 Dodge Charger.

Early generation Mopars are sort of the Apple 'Mac' of muscular tissue vehicles. A little portion of muscular tissue automobile individuals enjoy them with utter devotion as well as would certainly drive absolutely nothing else. To them, driving a Ford or Chevy would resemble unfaithful on their wives. That being stated, the '66- '67 Charger is a really trendy cars and truck simply from a designing and feature perspective - the determines alone are remarkable - however it's not for everyone. It really did not offer with the popularity of the '68- '70 versions (or reside on infinity thanks to the Dukes of Hazzard), yet it does have it's followers and can absolutely hold it's very own against the competition.

High School Equivalent: The Captain of the Drumline. Not everyone recognizes him, yet those that do understand he's got rhythm from head to toe. He's jammin' on drums with his buddies 1 day a day, 7 days a week.

Vehicle # 3 - AMX.

And after that there is that person. American Motors automobiles were constantly kind of a 5th wheel. Several of their automobile were dorky looking (the Pacer, the Gremlin, the Matador, and so on), however the AMX was really excellent looking. It was just a little various than the norm, generally due to it's brief wheel base (VERY brief) and also the fact that it was a 2-seater!

High School Matching: That one man that used a natural leather coat and shades. No-one knew his name. I believe he's a popular artist currently.

Recap:.

So simply why is it that we're trying to figure out if a muscle mass auto is great sufficient for you to drive? Well, quite honestly ... what other factor would you need to drive one? They're bold, noisy, stinky, and also can be difficult to drive at times. They hate being driven gradually and provide you sensations of large delight and also simultaneous fear while being pushed to the limits. They need constant wrenching as well as "tweaking" simply to stay in fighting shape. Why in the world would certainly you put up with all of that when you could drive a good pleased Toyota Camry? You know why ... because similar to the Fonz, muscular tissue vehicles are trendy, as well as coolness abrades. So, in the long run, if you believe your muscle mass automobile is trendy - it is. That's all that matters. It's great enough. Keep in mind though, if it's popular, it's probably currently trendy, yet similar to secondary school ... some of the coolest people were never popular.

Michael Savage New Canaan Is Your Muscle Car Cool Sufficient

Ahh, to be amazing. Youngsters mature having no concept of "coolness", and after that they hit the 6th quality. From that factor on, being "great" gets on the top of their order of business. Muscular tissue cars and trucks are perpetually amazing. They have actually been trendy given that day # 1, and their tale has grown ever since. A buddy of mine (that grew up in the 1960's) lately commented that there is absolutely nothing when driving as great as a muscle mass cars and truck, and he stated it in such a way that made it appear as specific as the reality that 2 +2= 4. The inquiry I wonder is, how do you understand if your muscle automobile is amazing sufficient?

Much like the hallways of senior high school, one could suggest that there is a pecking order of coolness when it pertains to muscle cars. Being prominent appeared to assist make some individuals cool, but several great people were never ever prominent. Muscular tissue vehicles coincide means. (As a side note I have actually seen a few of the preferred youngsters from secondary school later in life ... and they don't appear fairly as trendy as I bear in mind.).

Having a popular model auto (like a Mustang) gives it an immediate coolness variable, while having a much less popular version leaves it up to the cars and truck's benefits to identify it's coolness. Let's take a look at 3 muscle autos particularly and also judge the Cool Factor ... and then you can figure out if it's cool enough for you to drive!

AMC Gremlin: um dos mais esquisitos e adoráveis americanos de todos os tempos

Fabricado durante nove anos, ele foi um sucesso de vendas, apesar do visual bem fora do comum. Hoje, virou um ‘cult’ entre os colecionadores

Ele normalmente aparece na lista dos carros mais feios do mundo. De fato, o AMC Gremlin é adoravelmente feio. Foi o primeiro subcompacto americano e nasceu em 1º de abriu de 1970, para concorrer com os japoneses — que começavam a invadir os Estados Unidos — e com o alemão VW Beetle, o nosso Fusca. Se antecipava também a dois outros econômicos subcompactos americanos, cujo lançamento aconteceria alguns meses depois: O Ford Pinto e o Chevrolet Vega.

A partir do alto, Ford Pinto, comparativo Gremlin X VW na propaganda e AMX GT 1968

Conta a história, que os primeiros esboços do Gremlin foram feitos numa sacola de papel. A frente longa foi inspirada no Hornet. Já a traseira — que parece ter sido cortada com uma foice — já havia sido usada no conceito AMX GT, de 1968. O projeto é de Richard A. Teague, então vice-presidente de Design da AMC (American Motors Corporation).

Sobre Teague, algumas curiosidades: antes de trabalhar na AMC, passou pela GM, Packard e Chrysler, para onde voltou depois que ela comprou a AMC. Lá, projetou o Jeep Cherokee. Era um grande colecionador de automóveis, chegando a ter mais de 500 exemplares em sua coleção.

Dizem que também o nome ‘Gremlin’ foi ideia dele. Cujo significado é “um pequeno gnomo. Ogro”. Nada mais adequado para um carro com linhas tão sui generis. Quem não se lembra dos bichinhos fofos que viravam monstrinhos, no filme de Gremlins, de 1984, dirigido por Steven Spilberg?

O colorido AMC Gremlin

As cores do AMC Gremlin, via de regra, eram fortes e chamativas, com faixas laterais que reforçavam a estranha silhueta do carro, tons que em geral se chocavam com as das carrocerias: lilás com faixa dourada, amarelo com laranja, vermelho com amarelo e por aí vai.

O motores padrão do AMC Gremlin no início eram 6 cilindros 3.2 (128cv) e 3.8 litros (145cv), com câmbio de 3 marchas. Nos anos seguintes foi oferecido opcionalmente um V8 de 5 litros, o mesmo do esportivo Javelin. Em seus últimos anos o 6 cilindros foi substituído por um 4 cilindros 2.0, potente e econômico.

Cores berrantes

O Gremlin tinha uma característica muito interessante. Sua carroceria era super rígida, o que lhe dava ótima estabilidade, resistência e evitava excesso de barulho em seu interior. É que ele não tinha tampa no porta-malas. No início foi oferecido em duas versões: a de quatro passageiros custava US$ 1.959 e o acesso à mala era feito pelo vidro traseiro basculante.

Já a de dois passageiros era a básica e não possuía banco traseiro. Custava US$ 1.879 e tinha vidro traseiro fixo. O acesso à mala tinha que ser feito pelas portas mesmo. Essa segunda versão vendeu pouco (3.071) e foi descontinuada já no ano seguinte. — Eu estava conversando com os caras da linha de montagem e eles dizem que é o carro mais resistente que já construímos. A coisa é como uma caixa de aço soldada e integrada. Se houvesse uma porta traseira lá, onde está o tanque de combustível e as luzes traseiras estão localizadas, seria um carro mais fraco — explicou Teague em uma entrevista da época.

Gremlin Levi’s

Versões

O Gremlin teve várias versões. Já em 1971 surgiu a esportiva X, que vinha com motores 6 cilindros ainda mais potentes: de 4.2 litros. Em 1973 saia a versão Levy’s, com forrações em jeans, costuras na cor laranja e ilhoses — acabamento que foi copiado aqui no Brasil pela Chevrolet em nosso Chevette Jeans, de 1979. Houve também uma versão GT, cuja produção não chegou a 2 mil unidades.

Interiores

Em 1975 a AMC lançou outro modelo ‘esquisitão’, que guarda semelhanças com o Gremlin, mas que tem uma proposta diferente: o Pacer. Mas isso já é assunto para outra hora.

Apesar das esquisitices, o Gremlin caiu no gosto do consumidor e foi sucesso de vendas. Vendeu exatos 671.475 entre 1970 e 1978. Além dos Estados Unidos, foi comercializado também no Canadá e México. Houve ainda uma versão australiana, montada por uma subsidiária local.

Por suas características únicas, hoje o AMC foi alçado à categoria de ‘Cult’ e vem ganhando a cada dia mais fãs e o respeito e admiração dos colecionadores. Exemplares originais em boas condições podem chegar a US$ 20 mil. Mas não é fácil encontrá-los a venda. No Brasil, nunca tivemos notícias de nenhum.
