Guess that car

Not a Pantera - they are remarkably similar, although this barely pre-dates the Pantera.

Not a Dino either... but there is a Ferrari connection as well.

Ok Ono... I'll give it to you :)

1971 American Motors AMX/3... http://www.supercars.net/cars/2982.html

Giotto Bizzarrini, of ex-Ferrari fame, was specifically responsible for making a production worthy AMX/3 out of the show queen AMX/2. What would have been a challenging build for AMC, was easily handled by Bizzarrini who was very familiar with race car design and construction, particularly on a tight budget.

Bizzarrini's final AMC/3 featured the hallmark of sports engineering, a mid-mounted engine and rear transaxle. The Italian firm Melara developed the new gearbox while BMW completed final testing on the roadworthy AMX/3. It seemed AMC was serious about production. From a design standpoint, the AMC/3 was remarkably similar to Ford's DeTomaso Pantera which debuted just one day after the AMC/3. Such timely releases made it unclear exactly who copied who, but in any case, the casual observer can easily mistake the AMC/3 with a Pantera.

Due to the successful launch, and low price of the Pantera, AMC scrapped the AMX/3 project. Bizzarrini was ordered to destroy all six cars, which he, of course, did not. Instead several cars were finished, some lost, found, sold and lost again. It remains unclear today just how many survive.
