JayRamb, no I don't think those cups are appropriate for 1985.

Just was looking through a couple magazines while waiting for the Eagle to get inspected ( forget name, Good Guys? Good Buddies? Good something is all I remember ). 2 issues, Dec. '09 & Jan. ( I think ) '10. Dec. had a nice shot of an AMX painted with the Red, White, & Blue color scheme. Not many AMCs in them. Mainly older stuff ( more like my memories of Rod & Custom ), what I call " Street Rods ". '40s, & '50s mainly with a little bit of stuff going either direction. Some back in the '30s ( maybe even '20s ) & up into the '60s with a few even in the '70s. I forget which issue, they had what they dubbed a ....  :censored: I forget now. Anyway it was a cross between a Rambler & a Ferrari ( I think ), maybe a Rabarini ( Cross between a Rambler & Lamborghini ). AAADD & CRS still. I actually thought the nose resembled a '70s camaro.

I was just reading that, the one of Humpster Javelins and AMXs right?
A guy my dad works with gives him his magazines when he is finished reading them, Hemmings is always great for AMC content

Just played with Google & found it's called Goodguys magazine. Don't remember the names of the articles in it with the Ramblers / AMCs.

I remember reading that a long time ago in the paper, but I didn't get the joke back then, ::) (always been a Gremlin fan).

So the car reviewer for the Denver Post did a "look back" in his column a couple months ago.  The look back was of his comparison of four sub-compacts in 1980, including the Spirit.  He chose the picture of the Spirit to include in the column which was pretty cool.  Now remember, this is the West, "where seldom is heard, a discouraging word" and this reviewer rarely has anything bad to say about any of the cars he tests out.  Which comes through in this article, as he finds good things to say about the Pinto, the Chevette, and the Dodge Omni!  Of course, the nice things he has to say about the Spirit were totally accurate lol.  Enjoy!

not sure if I posted this before, but back in the 90s, my favorite game, Interstate '76, had some AMCs in it,an AMX, a Gremlin, somebody told me the sequel, Interstate '82 had a Pacer, but I never played that one

then there is Vigilante 8, which is the, not as fun, playstation equivalent, the sequel had an Eagle Wagon

and in one of my favorite console games, Driver: Parallel Lines, there is a Pacer, and a car that vaguely resembles everything, and partly a Javelin, this one takes place in 78, which is why I love it

On Modern Marvels, I just saw a Gremlin rear-end a Spirit Sedan - I think. (exploding gas tank)
And also footage of  a Gremlin going head-on into something that looked Matador-like.
The episode is called "Breaking Points".
Possibly at the AMC proving grounds?
