The design of the grand touring-type rear-wheel-drive pillarless coupe of monocoque construction with two doors and a truncated rear end treatment was influenced by AMC stylist Dick Teague.

It also had plain, flush wheel covers, generic all-black tires,[2] a side-mounted exhaust, a ram-air intake hood, integrated roof spoiler and fixed rear side windows (quarter glass) with no support (or "B") pillar.

A slightly modified version of the show car's hood scoop became part of the factory production "Go package" option on Javelins and AMXs for the 1970 model year.

[3] The design, an example of Teague's approach to maximizing AMC's limited resources, resulted in a new version from an existing platform.

For the official photograph of the board of directors, the members posed with the second version of the concept car, this time with its hood and roof painted black.
