[Prafeston]

Wow...great looking car man. All the louvers look nice. Whenever you want you can give me those wheels btw!!!

[maddog]

Wow, that this is just about perfect.  Complete with sunroof, rally package, louvers..... just about every option in the book!  Me want.....

  Sweeeeeeet  . Did you go injection or leave it carbed when you did the 4.0 swap?

[JayRamb]

Jealous! The car looks immaculate and the engine is awesome!

[JustinS]

Beautiful ride!    Love the black on black with woodgrain trim!

[mudkicker715]

Awesome

[Sunny]

Looks good!

[Budwisr]

Very, very NICE! I bet that black paint keeps you busy. What size are those BF Goodrich tires? I need a set of RWL tires on my Spirit AMX and it seems 14" tires are getting hard to find.

[SpiritGTMan]

Thank you guys!

It is injected.  That was the whole point of the engine project.

I just added the foglights, as you can see, the boss approves!

Gives it a little bit of a rake and helps the proportions of the car overall.

Wow, nice work! That's a great looking Spirit. I'm running 235/60-14's on those wheels for the Concord.

[Prafeston]

Man I want a set if those wheels really bad! There was a Concord just like that for sale on Ebay recently!

There was a Concord just like that for sale on Ebay recently!

Same one, wanna buy it?

Nice looking Spirit and Concord Wagon Guy's!

[Ohio AMX]

I didn't mean to hijack the thread. I posted the Concord since it has the correct reproduction lug nuts that I purchased from SpiritGTMan.

[IowaEagle]

Impressive!  A very nice survivor.  Was that an all AMC show you were at?

OH RIGHT ON!!!  Thank you so much!  Your Concord AMX (?) sure does look awesome.  Quite a combination!

The picture of the Spirit next to a Jeep was at the Potomac Ramblers club fall gathering several years ago.  If you look up the Wikipedia of AMC Spirit you will find a very similar picture, someone took a picture of my car there and posted it to Wikipedia.
The last picture, right profile, is at the AMC Rambler Club nationals last summer in Annapolis.

So how does this thing drive with that FI and mMTX? I remember the Comanche PU with a 4.0HO and a MTX was a little screamer... SURRREE woudl be nioce to see a video of this GT getting down on the freeway a little bit... 1/4 mile wouldn't hurt either... it'd at least allow us to compare old vs. new (er).

[shanebo]

Wow that car is just plain hot!!! That is one perfect example.

[Prafeston]

Wow that car is just plain hot!!! That is one perfect example.

Agreed!!!

[SpiritGTMan]

Thanks gang!  I'll see if I can do a video.

[shanebo]

A video would be awesome!

This is what I would really like as my summer car. I have pretty much decided against another new car. I sell cars, and they just bore me now. A Spirit GT would be very cool.
