1979 AMC Spirit AMX For Sale on Hemmings
Daniel Strohl at Hemmings spotted this awesome 1979 AMC Spirit AMX in their classifieds, which is said to be a rust free, two-owner car. The original 304 has been replaced with a fairly stout 360, so this thing is probably a hoot to drives, especially with the 4-speed. The $13,900 asking price seems pretty reasonable for such a solid and unique car–one of just 1,834 produced. More pics after the jump, and be sure to check out the ad at Hemmings!
Most Famous Mopar Burnout on YouTube?
Well it has over 1 million views, so it’s gotta be up there. This “hearse” is a 1969 AMC Ambassador wagon with a blown 440. Right hand drive and somewhere in New Zealand. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth a look. Video after the jump, plus two more with the same car.
Crazy Pro Touring Gremlin at Schwartz Performance
How about a pro touring AMC Gremlin? That’s what the guys at Schwartz Performance in Woodstock, Illinois are building. According to Bangshift, the green Gremlin “will keep AMC power with a gnarly suspension, huge brakes, and a power to weight ratio guaranteed to humiliate lots of more expensive and “cool” stuff.” More pics after the jump and click over to Bangshift to see the full gallery from the shop tour.
Reader’s Rides: Scott Campisi’s 1975 AMC Matador
I’d like to present our very first reader’s ride! A sweet ’75 Matador. Here’s the word from Scott:
The pictures were taken the final day of the 2013 Hot Rod Power Tour, approximately 1500 participants. It was one of only 5 AMC long haulers that I counted and the ONLY Matador. That’s what makes her special, no one will ever say its Another Matador.
Bored 30 over AMC 360 with Edelbrock carb, cam and intake; Headman headers exhaling into dual side pipes; Built TorqueFlight 727; and a modified AMC-20 rear-end with a Detroit locker limited slip conversion. Bumpers are deleted with the holes in the rear removed, body and paint by Killeen, Macco (The only ones willing to take on the project in the area, everyone else said it was too hard) with Icelandic Green paint and custom ghost flames.
Looks great, and many thanks to Scott for sending in the pics–one more after the jump!

AMX Prototype Featured in August Issue of Hemmings Classic Car
AMC built just a few of these fiberglass-bodied AMX prototypes. This particular example was supposed to be incinerated, but instead was rescued by a line worker in AMC’s Kenosha assembly plant–for just $50! It is still owned by the same family and is featured in the current issue of Hemmings Classic Car.
Mopar Album Cover: The Cars Heartbeat City
