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

I'm impressed and amazed by the obscurity of 1967 fashion photoshoot at the Irwindale Raceway, with drag racer Danny Ongais, driver for MT & Leong
So you too must be wondering, who in the hell thought dragsters and womens fashion couture had anything in common? It was Vogue magazine, April 1967 issue
Oh sweet cupcakes and Glaminar.....
I shared my love of cupcakes, with red velvet cupcakes from DOTS in Pasadena, red chocolatey cake with cream cheese icing! I didn't even get to taste one! ha ha ha
a little view of, what was one of the most amazing days of my life!
me in the middle of our "group shot", with some of the amazing girls that stayed til' the end to talk with me, share their stories and experience of the day with me....I had gone through so many tissues crying with these precious hearts!
I will NEVER be the same after this!
This was the BEST 1 YEAR "GLAM-A-VERSARY" of the GLAMINARS!
I lost my voice that night after all the talking I did, but I gained more love! Thank you to everyone who was a part of such an amazing experience!!!
I tried to type a blog post last night, but I have only been getting about 3 hours of sleep a night preparing for the glaminar, that I fell asleep with my computer on my lap in bed...with nothing but a POST title typed in that said...."I am sooooo tired"! ha ha ha ha
I promise I will type a better post about the GLAMINAR & IMATS later, but I'm off to another doctor appointment....I've already had 3 yesterday for my leg...It was very, very swollen after the GLAMINAR weekend! ha ha ha....But I have an awesome new silicone thing, that goes over my scar that will help it look a little "nicer"...it's the same thing that burn patients wear. I love it already, my scar doesn't hurt so much when my pants or leggings rub against it! Hooray!
Off to another doctor appointment! I love you all...! Each set of beautiful eyes that are reading this...feel the love I am sending to your heart!
REMEMBER: you're more beautiful than you know, more talented than you think, and more LOVED than you can imagine!
Have a beautiful day, filled with more smiles, more love, and more happiness in your step...no matter what happens or goes wrong...remember...there's a reason, there's hope, and I believe in you!!!
huge love from your one and only, kandee
