Budd XR 400 - 1963/4


Budd built the XR-400 prototype to interest AMC in a cheap-to-tool-up sporty car. Had AMC said yes, it could have beat the Mustang to market by at least six months

That's right, that's what it is.
But - with 21 points already you're not supposed to be able to answer this one HEMI!
Can we have a ruling please?

I just saw this car this summer, and had a brief chat with the car's caretaker.

 Very happy to hear that it still exists and is cherished.
All too often you hear of these unique cars having been destroyed or rotted away.
