A very rare AMX/3 (#4) recently sold for something in the multi six-figure range. With only seven of these cars in the world (including the prototype display body), this is in indeed a rare event. The particular car sold was the test mule used in Monza Italy to see just how good the car was. It’s said that BMW indicated that it had one of the stiffest chassis they had ever tested. The new buyer will be taking the car from Louisiana to Germany and is said to have paid somewhere in the range of $400,000 to $800,000.

For those who like the styling of this 1970 supercar from American Motors, there is a plan to build replicas from the original prototype display body. In 2007 Tom Dulaney bought the body and in 2008 had a mold made of the shell, which is an exact copy of the exterior styling.

Next a chassis was built by Dave Ward, of Big Red Camaro fame, that uses Corvette C4 steering and brakes. A five-speed SDR Mendeola transaxle was selected for its strength and durability.     

Although promising as a design concept, progress on the replica program has been stalled for the past several years. So Dulaney is looking for someone to work with him in getting things going again.
