Talk:AMC AMX

Proposed merger
Both articles deal with the AMC AMX. I don't see why they should be two separate [stub] articles. &rArr; BRossow T/C 21:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I support the merge in order to bring the AMX article into the proper naming convention. Stude62 13:09, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Given no opposition, the articles were merged. &rArr; BRossow T/C 15:22, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

History of merged content
I've merged content from List of 1971 American Motors automobiles, but since it's a list of specifications sourced from Oct. 1970 Popular Mechanics, I think it's safe to delete the article as long as I provide proper attribution. So here is the article history before I deleted it:

AMX Winner
In 1969, Popular Mechanics ran a contest to win a (then) brand new AMX. The car was won by a friend of mine named Don Klimek who lived on Nagle Ave. in Chicago. Sadly, he was too young to take ownership of the coolest car out at the time, and instead AMC/Pop Mechanics awarded his father the choice of the AMX or any other car they sold. Much to my friend Don's disappointment, the dad chose a 4 door AMC sedan family car and Don could only tell the story of the one that got away. As my memory is getting old, this may have been a 1968 AMX also. Either way, a heartbreaking incident to be sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hrsepwer (talk • contribs) 23:24, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

AMX/3 and BMW - Discrepancies between German and English article
The German article [] notes that the first vehicle tested by BMW had suffered from grave problems regarding the stiffness of the chassis and the engine cooling. This corresponds with an article of a German historic vehicle magazine which said about the tests done at BMW that a sharp turn was enough to twist the chassis in a manner that the car was rolling on three wheels only and that the engineers took fun by twisting the chassis back with respective driving maneuvers. A second vehicle modified after the improvements proposed by BMW was said to be solid enough but also being heavier in comparison to the Bizzarini design.

The problems with the cooling of the engine were typical for most supersports of this era and happened typically at slow speeds and stop-and-go traffic. This problem couldn't have been solved sufficiently without major changes in the design which might have been an additional reason for the demise of the AMX/3 project.
