guess my avitar
 

Take a look at my avitar and see if you can tell what make and model it is.

First hint: it was made from 1979-83

AMC Spirit

good one tech ... you are right. I guess my hint made it too easy. Mine is a '83 Spirit GT ... kin to the Eagle SX4 but not AWD like the SX4

I have always thought those eagle 4x4's looked kind of cool. I don't think I would want to own one, but for some reason they always appealed to me. How rare are these cars? Both yours and the eagle 4x4

In 1983 American Motors made less that 5000 cars between the Concord sedan, wagon & Spirit models I do believe. I looked up the numbers about 2 or more years ago.

So lets break it down ... lets say that about 3K Spirits were made in 1983. Mine is a GT so that might be about 1500 GT's ... mine is a 4.2L inline 6cly w/ auto. So by the time you break it down to color & stuff I have one of about 200 or less.

American Motors was bought out by Chrystler in 1987 just so Chrystler could obtain the Jeep line of vehicles & 1987 was the last year for the Eagle part of AMC.

I live in GA and AMC's are rare in the south. Most of the cars remain up north where the AMC plants were. The main plant being in Kenosha, Wi.

A little AMC info for ya.

Sweet thanks for that! I always loved the AMC's well not the pacer but that's another story haha..

I am in Canada so AMC's are VERY rare.

well... the year numbers was more of a confirmation of what i thought... what "gave it away" was the hood. no one else has a hood with that "V" bulge at the nose.

good point about the hood tech ... people ask me all the time "What is that?" "Is it a Mustang?" I just get a good laugh ... I have it up in storage now & I am thinking about selling it
