Is there something unique about this?

1970?

It's a 70 model alright Dave.
 
AMX/3
 
Widely considered as the best AMC design of all time, a third-generation AMX concept car, the AMX/3, debuted at the 1970 Chicago Auto Show. Engine-less and fashioned in fiberglass, the original AMC/3 prototype was a show car only.
American Motors placed an order for 30 operational cars. The AMX/3 body mold was sent to Italian GT maker Giotto Bizzarrini, whose Turin facility hand made drivable mid-engined, steel bodied cars. Built on a 105.3-inch (2,675 mm) wheelbase, the Bizzarrini prototypes used the AMC 390 cu in (6.4 L) V8 and an Italian OTO Melara four-speed transaxle. Road testing was done by BMW, which declared the AMX/3's chasis one of the stiffest and most neutral handling they had ever tested.
The steel Italian cars differed from the original AMC design in having fewer but functional rear decklid louvers, louvered hoods, and, in some cases, hood scoops to direct fresh air into the heating-A/C system.
Five completed cars were produced before the US$2,000,000 program was cancelled. Escalating costs and pending bumper regulations put a stop to the mid-engined AMX/3. The remaining extra parts were used to assemble a sixth car

Longgggg time ago.

We need the story that goes with that Dan.
As it sits the most valuable car you had? No wonder you would take it for walks...

[Grumpy]

It was at that time.  427 Cobra I owned and almost owned. Had a new 70 Mustang Mach 1 Cobra Jet. Found this Cobra (my dream car at the time) an was suppose to pick it up the next day. It needed a lot of work.  Next morning woke up an someone had stolen the Mustang. I was beyond pissed. So I passed on the Cobra at that time. 5 years later I end up with the same car BUT it was fixed up a little.

if we knew then what we knew today, we would have barns full of what were unpopular new cars then.  though the Cobra was popular, at least in the mags.

[Grumpy]

hahahaha... Bad case of the woulda, shoulda, coulda's  2/ 70 Mach 1 CJs, 65 396/425hp Vette, 57 T bird with a BB Ford in it, 68 GT 500 KR convertible, and a few more Shelby Mustangs along with the 427 Cobra. Still have a 66 Shelby GT 350 convert.

My friend bought a 396/425hp hard top convertible vette in '65.  He is one of these guys that is always smarter than anyone else when it comes to what is the best buy, best deal, etc.

He sold it for $2500 a few years later when his first child was born because it was not practical.  He is O-C and the car was absolutely perfect.  Each time he tells me what I am doing wrong, I take great delight in telling him what the cars are selling for at auction now.

I have a little more respect for you now Dan. Sorry you didn't keep that car for the future though. However, I could see you throwing a turbo Buick engine in it now. LOL
