The AMC AMX

The AMC AMX was produced by the American Motors Corporation (AMC) and sold at a budget price of US$3,245, which was over $1,000 less than the Corvette.
The AMX name originates from the "American Motors eXperimental" code used on two early AMC prototypes that were shown on tour in 1966.
The original AMX full-scale models were developed in 1965 under the direction of Charles Mashigan. In 1966 Vince Gardner, an outside consultant, designed the fiberglass-bodied car AMX II concept car as part of AMC's "Project IV" exhibit. AMC president Roy Abernethy sanctioned the Italian coachbuilder Vignale in Turin to construct an operational car in steel. Delivered in 78 days and known as the "AMX Vignale", it was first displayed at the 1966 New York International Auto Show.
