Re: Barrett Jackson

I don't have to tell you that the AMX can all but be recreated using a Spirit body. I'd love to see a 68-69 AMX nose grafted onto a Spirit -- via fiberglass fenders would be easy enough. Why 68-69? Grilles are available. Maybe a 70 with a fiberglass replica grille would be the way to go though -- those grilles are pretty hard to find. Not much can be easily done with the rear, but maybe some window inserts to change the look a bit would be nice.
