    The car for sale here is the only AMC AMX fiberglass prototype to survive and it has a fascinating history. As happens many times with cars the human element has made a big difference – if not for an AMC car lover (Domenick Jiardine, Jr.), who was also an AMC employee, and a sympathetic AMC executive (William Luneburg, president & COO of AMC) this car would have been burned with the other fiberglass AMX prototype and thus would not exist today.

    Interesting piece of history.

    Always like the GTX but I am happy they proceeded with the design they did.

    The front is cool but the back half isn't working for me.

    You don't like the "ramble seat"? The passengers sitting in the open ramble seat could talk to the passengers inside the car.

    Price would have doubled if Mitt Romney would have won in 2012. ;)

    He gave an interview about how hard it was to defend American Motors when all his school buddies were talking about muscle cars from the big 3.

    I think the production version was better from a styling standpoint.
