Original letters from AMC to one of the purchasers indicates "a bill of sale will be provided by Mr Bizzarrini or one of the two companies he is associated with". While Tom may have helped with logistics, he did not broker them.

This is the one that was for sale a short time ago, on Craigslist. I was trying to buy it, but I didn't need the kind of headaches that were starting to pop up trying to deal with the guy(s). Thank you for posting all the pictures, I just love that car.

Well know shop in the Iso Bizzarrini ATS circles Bill arguably did the best paint in the USA. If you were going to Pebble he was the guy. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Chassis 01 When the first steel AMX/3 arrived in Michigan from Bizzarrini in Italy, Dick Teague was upset that some pieces had been taken off the car, various parts were missing. This first AMX/3 did run and drive even though there were some problems with body dimensions due to improper conversion from standard to metric calculations. This car has clocked about 30,000 miles in it's life, from the looks of the brake pads. Scotty Dawkins was a friend of Dick Teague's and bought the car in the early 1970's, Scotty still owns the car today in Michigan. This car did spend several years at the Gilmore museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan, but has since been brought home. I spoke with Mr. Dawkins on June 15, 2007 and he told me that the car was originally green and Dick Teague had the car painted bright yellow in 1973, which was the same year Dick Teague had the yellow pushmobile Zero (0) painted green. Scotty also spent some time driving the red #3 car, one day driving through a residential neighborhood at about 35 mph he hit a bump that broke the oil pan, this is the oil pan I have, see pictures on the history page. The cost of this first car is estimated at about one million dollars to produce, by the time the program was ended the total cost of the 5 AMX/3's imported into the USA was about 2 million dollars.
