Restored AMX/3 wins at Pebble Beach 2016

What a simply gorgeous car that is. AMC was at the top of its game at that place in time. It becomes hard to reckon such a fall from grace when they had cars of this caliber in the design studios and then reality.

They took such chances and pulled off quite a few great ideas, then plunk down weirdos like the Pacer and Gremlin. Those cars have a place in my heart but they are not Pebble Beach winners. So it begs the question. How can such great ideas such as this come out of a house that would fall within [or thereabouts] a decade?

My Grandmothers 1969 Javelin was a stunning car. I went to see Jaws in it in 1975. I recall other rides in it and people would look at the car and smile. It really was that nice.

I know the history is out there but  I just cannot fathom how it goes wrong once you see this and other cars from them.

Blows my mind.
