Just curious - I don't think I had seen it before I stumbled across a pic the other day.

Looks like a life-sized Hot Wheels car.

Who's the manufacturer?

One of several AMX prototypes:

Reportedly, one of the rolling AMX\2's wound up sitting on top of a pole for many years at a used car dealer.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

The mirrors are missing. They Foosed it.

That first front shot looks like a Pantera. The back end is uhhh...well...different. :frog:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

that's the clay model, there are three working ones,.. one is in Europe it came out when the american motors company was on it's last leg.. unfortunantly they could never support it like ford could the Pantara or chevy the corvette... and remember the corvette was promised to be mid-engined too for about six years,.. never happened though..
the later working AQMX III cars looked even better to me...

That drawing looks like the predecessor of the Marlin.  The Marlin came out before the '66.  There used to be a Marlin in the storage area where I put my '66 when I first bought it.  Parked side by side, the body lines weere identical from a few inches behind the front bumper back to the C pillar.  The biggest difference was the nose and tail treatment.

talk about a major blind spot trying to look out the rear window :P
Daddy ran whiskey in a big black dodge
bought it at an auction at the masons lodge,
Johnson County Sherriff painted on the side,
just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside,
well him and my uncle tore that engine down,
I still remember that rumblin' sound.....

That "Tarpoon" was the concept car, but when they produced it on the mid-size Ambassador chassis instead of the compact American it lost any balance the design might have had..
next to the Charger it's a real dog...   :icon_smile_wink:
