AMX 4

Just looking for some outside views or your own opinions about a vehicle that I'm looking at building. I own a 1970 1 of 5 built AMX 3's, Attached are a few pictures. My father designed it while he was he charge of AMC design department. I grew up with antique, classics & sports cars all my life, The Automobile Culture is part of my DNA and I became a designer working for Ford Motor Company, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen AG and America, As we all know all too well, the business is in a free fall. As depressing as the news is, I still have a dream of designing my own. Attached are some jpegs of the AMX 4 Next generation. Post your thought because this is work in progress. You can also check out the Photos on www.socalamc.com
Thank You

The AMX 3 push car that you saw at Knots was from Tom Delaney. Its an interesting story. That car was the original FRP model produced by AMC in 1968. That model was the theme model that then was made into the 5 working steel bodies produced by Bizzarrini, I own AMX 3 #3 that would have been the production model if AMC could have produced them. The FRP Model is quite different from the steel bodies, Just look at the details like fenders and overall body width, Wind screen are just a few. Both are unique. I just hope and dream I can get 1 or 2 of the AMX 4 built. JTeague

Comment by Brian Anderson on November 20, 2008 at 8:59pm: Hi Jeff, Are any of these connected with the AMX Concept Car that was at the Knotts Berry Farm Show earlier this year? It was beautiful, but I did not get any photos to compare. Your drawings look great and seem to carry on the super looks that made the original AMX so popular. I owned 3 of them myself many many years ago. Keep up the nice work. Brian
