1979 AMC Spirit

Putting my 1979 AMC Spirit out there again. I don't need to sell, but if a good cash or trade offer comes along I'd be willing to listen. Not looking to get out of racing, just want the seed money to move up to a quicker Stock class.

Engine is an AMC 304 rebuilt in 2008 by JTL Automotive in NJ. Comp Cam and lifters. 2 barrel Motorcraft Carb. New wires and plugs back in 2010. I have probably put about 50 runs on the engine since 2008. But due to stepping back from racing in late 2009 (changed jobs and had a death in the family) I only recently caught the bug to back into racing Stock.

The car has a roll-bar, updated the belts in October 2012 to run the Dutch Classic. It has a fuel cell and weight box in the hatch-back area. Jegs racing wheels (26 inch slicks). 5.16 gears with a spool (posi went back in 2010 and was cheaper / quicker to throw in a spool).

The car has a history of being competitive. Bub Miller won the 2000 Topeka Nationals in O/SA dialing the index (I believe that was 13.45 at that point in time). http://dragracecentral.com/DRCPhoto....ilter=Year2000

I bought the car from Eric and Scott Pearson from up in Minnesota. Eric was competitive in the IHRA with this car.

It has also been fairly consistent for myself. It runs 13.70's on a 13.80 index at about 95 to 96 mph.

My asking price is $7,000 but as stated above: if someone comes along with a good cash offer or good trade proposal, I'll at least listen. I am willing to trade for a project that already has work put into it (i.e: a roller with a roll-bar, fuel cell, and rear-end already done). A '85 to '93 Mustang might be strongly considered depending on what parts are included.

Car can be seen at most Division 1 LODRS races throughout the 2013 season.
