[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have purchased a 79 Spirit GT 258/auto to save it
from the crusher.  The PO is an AMC hobbyist in
northern CA who is even more callous about parting out
an AMC than I have become.  I'll be bringing it home
this spring.  I hope to be able to just clean it up
and sell it on Ebay.  I sure don't need another
project and I don't want to part this one out.

My previous Spirit experience was with the 80 Spirit
with the Iron Duke which was my son's car.  I
overhauled the Duke as well as that complicated
feedback version of the Varijet carb and it still was
not a torque monster.  That was my only major
complaint about that car.

The 70 GT would have almost met Tom's need for a
LeMons car, but I will have a little too much money in
it with transportation charges to sell it under Tom's
$500 price restriction.  Sounds like he found a good
car though anyway.
