Looks more like an AMX.

The wheelcovers are early Barracuda.

At that point in the model, it sure reeks of 70's B body...

Ah yes, I remember those days building those clay models! Maddening! Simply maddening!

That roof line does look like the AMX 70 model year?

Not an official AMX model. I did a search, and none of them look like that. I'm guessing a foreign marque?

One more thing, that pic looks a lot like a school. Maybe a design school styling exercise?

The body lines look much later than 1964 to me. They remind me of the Challenger clay models I have seen.

it looks like the passenger side, rear is already finished. Behind the man's legs.

Did I miss something? What indicates this photo is from 1964? Maybe it's a popular photo I don't know about...

The photo is from a Chrysler web site. Here is the lable that goes with it: Fellow clay-model makers John Herlitz (left) and Jack Avileto (right) work with Al on a 1964 show car.

That is actually a styling exercise from 1967 called the Barracuda SX, according to the book: Chrysler concept cars 1940-1970.

Must be an exercise because it's not the SX show car...

My 1964 sketch for the 1967 Barracuda Project. It was deceided to have a smaller backlite than that on the previous Barracuda. I designed the "hatchback" model for 1967 and revised the front end and hood. I had always liked "real" eggcrate grilles, but high cost kept them out of most car designs. I noticed the aluminum eggcrate grilles on the overhead flourescent lights; they were very thin so they wouldn't block much cooling air, and must be cheap. I obtained some of the eggcrate and had it trimmed to fit the Barracuda's grille. It passed the tests for exterior use, and was used in the production cars.
