I have everything to put a better front end on that car except for the grill. PM me if you want some pics. Great save by the way. Nice to see people save racing history. Shelby

I dont think those IMSA I6 cars reved a whole lot above 6000. I seem to recall Hildock telling me he shifted at 5800.
Anyway here are some IMSA car builds....below the AMX. Should give you some ideas. |

This car is for sale again.
http://www.racingjunk.com/24-Hours-of-LeMons-Cars-for-Sale/182641626/1981-AMC-Spirit.html "$2,500.00 This car was a factory
backed car that was campaigned by Chris Cord and Kal Showkett in the
early eighties. After that it spent about 10 years running SCCA in
Florida. The engine and trans are no longer with the car. Our plan was
to drop in an LS. The cage is still intact along with the fuel cell,
although I'd assume it could use a new bladder. The car is fitted with
coil overs and adjustable sway bars. Included in the sale are extra
fenders, hood, aluminum bumper and misc suspension components. The
picture in the ad was from its original days as a racer. It currently
shows evidence of years of racing, but is still very solid. I can send
more pics upon request.(330) 208-6111 Kent, Ohio" |

I found this car in Florida and saved it from the crusher. If anyone is interested I have all the history on it and allot of photos.
I wish I was positioned to get it back. Anyone driving from Ohio to Colorado? |

I take it this was raced as a 258 I6?

In IMSA it would have been a 232. SCCA I believed they moved to the 258.

Damnit. Would one of you guys buy this thing before somebody puts an LS1 in it or makes it into a Chumpcar?

I know who purchased the car.
He assured me that it will NOT get an LS1. However, they are going to get it back on the track, more or less the way it was in its heyday. g-man |

Good to know, g-man. It would be cool if they started a build thread here.
