dream a little dream; what might have been... the AMX 2 and the AMX 3

get over to the San Diego Auto Museum in Balboa park to see the only one on public display

AMX concept I'm glad that didn't work out

The AMX 3 is back! It's back at the SD Auto Museum

It's been gone for a couple of years now... get in to see it while it's there. If you're uncertain what an AMX-3 is, it was a prototype that wound up to be more expensive than the Corvette, so AMC scrapped the idea. The engine was a 390 mid engine mount, the design was from Dick Teague, and they made about 6 or so in Turin Italy with Bizzarini, scrapped a couple after shutting down the project, but Dick kept 2, and one was buried in a private garage and never seen again.

Saturday racing at San Diego's Fleetweek Speedfest

Photographers are happy because we get to be feet away from racecars while they speed by, and we get really close up, like the photo below illustrates

The above wasn't zoomed in at all.

This is a Carrera GTS, one of 7 factory race GTS

Oversteer

This photographer was here all day long, I don't think I ever looked over and found him anywhere else

The number 2, besides having an unfortunate numeral, had problems early in this race and spent the rest of the race watching everyone else have fun

Oil is leaking and burning on the exhaust, but it soon stopped and the car kept racing without the smoke trail
