Here is my take on the production order. From Diomante's website "Soprav will have 9 chassis" meaning 9 surviving chassis. Car #1 Yellow Scotty Dawkins car Car #2 Body chassis number WTDO 363 2/55/55 Monza BMW car. Car #3 March 1970 Rome Coliseum press release. April 1970 New York press release. 1970 Chicago Auto Show. Teague car VIN# A0M397X631524Y Car #4 Body chassis number 397X68 0492 Yellow Bernie Carl car. Car #5 Body chassis WTDO 363 4/55/55 Turin Show car 1970. If Werden says his car is longer like the Autoworld car then doesn't it have to be #5 and not #4? Car #6 Salvatore Diomante stills own this car. Here they are: http://www.diomante.com/home/progetti-projects/# Diomante also still has the original fiberglass shell used for the original bodywork but this isn't a "car". Car #7 Complete total guess with no real documentation to back this up other than reports of Giotto driving it around town and it fits with reports of Diomante stating he built 8 cars and 9 chassis survived. Car #8 Roland Dieteren Autoworld Belgium car. Most often referred to as car #6. Originally sold to Giorgio Giordanengo. Car #9 AMX Spider. Completely different body and it doesn’t have an AMC engine and the wheelbase and track differs from the AMX/3 but I think this was chassis #9.
I already modified my take on the production order. I put the Autoworld car back as #6 produced: Car #1 Yellow Scotty Dawkins car. First prototype car #1 June 1969. Car #2 Body chassis number WTDO 363 2/55/55 BMW #2 car test report dated December 5, 1969. Tested in Monza 1970. Car #3 March 1970 Rome Coliseum press release. April 1970 New York press release. 1970 Chicago Auto Show. Teague car VIN# A0M397X631524Y Car #4 Body chassis number A0M397X680492 Yellow Bernie Carl car. Upside-down Firebird tail lights by Dick Teague. Car #5 Body chassis WTDO 363 4/55/55 Turin Show car 1970. If Werden says his car is longer like the Autoworld car then doesn't it have to be #5 and not #4? Car #6 Roland Dieteren Autoworld Belgium car. Originally sold to Giorgio Giordanengo. Front fender marker light matches #5 Werden car. Reported as a 1971. Car #7 Salvatore Diomante stills own this car. Here they are: http://www.diomante.com/home/progetti-projects/# Diomante also still has the original fiberglass shell used for the original bodywork but this isn't a "car". This #7 car is the original Sciabola marketing brochure car. Appears to be the 1976 Turin Sciabola car. Car #8 Complete total guess with no real documentation to back this up other than reports of Giotto driving his personal car around town and it fits with reports of Diomante stating he built 8 cars and 9 chassis survived and fits reports Diomante cut up only two bodiesn the second group of 5 cars making 8 total. Car #9 AMX Spider. Completely different body and it doesn’t have an AMC engine and the wheelbase and track differs from the AMX/3 but I think this was chassis #9. Reported it was finished in 1991.
I've been working on a website to clear up all the miss-information on these AMX/3 cars. Virtually everything documented on these cars has flaws. I'm trying to correct it. See https://amx3.weebly.com/
Hello everyone, I don't know if this is the right thread, but I noticed on the web that Autocostruzioni S.D, by Salvatore Diomante is no longer operational (it is reported by a competent office "ceased activity"). I hope that all its Bizzarrini molds/spare/projects parts are saved....
