AMC made some really cool cars, these examples were at the Orphan Car show in LaJolla a couple weeks ago

 this is the first Mark Donahue edition I've came across

 

the brakes are labeled Safe Command, the shifter is labeled Shift Command... I guess marketing told the designers that everything needed to be labled " - " command

A car normally found on the "Ugliest cars made" lists... it has a look "only a ma" could love - thinks the owner

 

I don't think these are ugly.. different and unusual, yes, but not ugly

AMC Rebel Machine

Have you seen a car made into a RV? someone really nailed it with this Rambler American in Argentina

This comes from Fosiles Mecanicos blogspot, and for a super easy way to read it (or any website) in your own language, use Google Chrome as a browser (it's a free download) and then you'll have no problem with translation.

I'm going to keep browsing through http://fosilesmecanicos.blogspot.com/ because Gabriel is finding cool stuff around his neighborhoods

Am I right about how well they made it look like a RV? It beats the hell out of the ShamRockAway for good looks http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/photos-of-unusual-from-days-gone-by.html

The Rebel Machine is in San Diego! Ebay score out of Tennessee

Jim and Chesters Garage Tumblr has a lot of cool stuff!

An enclosed transporter made from a fire truck, not the first I've seen! Les made one http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/68-ford-transporter-aint-that-cool-i.html

the San Diego Auto Museum has one of the 6 existing AMX 3 concept cars, head over and see it for yourself!

Thanks to Marisela and Chris for their time and effort to allow me to photograph the AMX 3 so well!

The variety in the few AMX3 concept cars made, 10 total I've read, but interestingly not alike in tail lights, and rear deck

Above 4 images were taken in 2004, at the Bizzarini Expo in Brussels by Dirk de Jager and all the above photos are from http://www.supercars.net/cars/2982.html

Notice the above museum car has a side marker light behind the rear wheel that only one of of the following do.

Lower door racing stripe and AMX 3 callout looks really good, and the rear deck styled partition with air foil over the tailights

Really don't like the above rims.

images from my many posts on the AMX 3... I hope you take a moment to see the differences in these different models, the bottom one having the coolest looking wheels, but I bet it's a mock up with no real car parts, and it looks like the model is in the design studio for a photo op.

Notice it doesn't have a gas cap like the yellow model directly above it, and the rocker panel is black with the AMX 3 call out looking really nice. Different tailights too.

From the Supercars website story on the AMX3:
Giotto Bizzarrini, of ex-Ferrari fame, was specifically responsible for making a production worthy AMX/3 out of the show queen AMX/2. What would have been a challenging build for AMC, was easily handled by Bizzarrini who was very familiar with race car design
and construction, particularly on a tight budget.

Bizzarrini's final AMX/3 featured the hallmark of sports engineering, a mid-mounted engine and rear transaxle. The Italian firm Melara developed the new gearbox while BMW completed final testing on the roadworthy AMX/3. It seemed AMC was serious about production. From a design standpoint, the AMC/3 was remarkably similar to Ford's DeTomaso Pantera which debuted just one day after the AMX/3. Such timely releases made it unclear exactly who copied who, but in any case, the casual observer can easily mistake the AMX/3 with a Pantera.

Due to the successful launch, and low price of the Pantera, AMC scrapped the AMX/3 project. Bizzarrini was ordered to destroy all six cars, which he, of course, did not.
