How to relive the thrill of IMSA RS? How about with a car that actually competed in the series? That’s the story behind this AMC Spirit.
The seller restored the car to how it looked in 1979, and currently comes fitted with a 343 cubic-inch V8 that’s backed by a Borg Warner T-10 gearb…
I've seen a lot of AMC Spirits come across my cars for sale feeds. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something. Love the iconic AMC motorsport colors.
Those wheels are secksy
The reverse arch springs are interesting.
A friend of ours raced one of those–heck, maybe that same car–and was once T-boned in a race.
He had the bashed-up door hanging in his office.
Kind of weird; early Pantera wheels, and an engine + trans combo last seen in the 1960's.
I've never done more than looked at these, and I think these look great. Like a perfect size, styling seems pretty good, and it's another AMC built-from-corporate-Lego's product so swapping and upgrades are possible. Seems like it should have been a bigger deal when they were being sold?

Pantera?!? OMG, I think they are Campagnolo wheels! Probably worth more than the car itself..
I miss AMC. I owned a Javelin and a Spirit at one time or another and liked both cars. They were solid and trouble free compared to many of the other 53 cars/trucks that I have owned in my lifetime. I always wanted an AMX but, alas, that never happened for one reason or another. They always seemed to be just a little above my financial comfort zone and that is still the case today.
I think it's the paint scheme that gets me. There is a Javelin vintage racer for sale at Classic Auto Mall that also made me glance at my bank account. I also like underdogs, so racing an AMC would be perfect. Blissfully, my current garage is full, killing real temptation.
Nice AMC. Iconic coloring.
Smells like AMC Spirit?
AMC had a production facility in Kenosha, Wisconsin, home of The Brat Stop (look it up). Every old AMC is from that area - where is this car at?
Waukesha, Wisconsin - how cliche.
