We stopped there on our way home from Kenosha in 2002. If you look at 
there web site you  will see that they have a lot of cars...... most 
were stored outside  under open sheds.  But when we stopped there the SC 
and Machine were displayed
inside  together with a Shelby Mustang.....among other cars they also 
had a Tucker.  If you are a car person this is a great
place place to visit.  

Another great car museum  we stopped at was the one in Minden, 
NB.....lots and lots of cars in several buildings.
In the main building along with lots of other cars form the early 1900's 
they had a 1906 Rambler. All the cars
here for the most part were displayed as received.....

At least it didn't have the 2.0L as the 79s did! A couple drove a 2.0L four speed Spirit from Oregon to Florida a few years ago. It had been upgraded with a Pertronix ignition. They said it made a noticeable power increase. When you have barely adequate power a 3-5 hp increase is very noticeable! But they did say it was adequate with a four speed. The Iron Duke would probably be much better with a five speed (as would the 2.0L) and a low rear axle. But an EFI Duke should be very nice indeed! About the same hp as a 232, though a bit less torque. Five speed and geared right it would be good. A 2.5L AMC/Jeep four would be even better -- a little more torque than the Poncho, and in the family.

As Joe points out -- power. But a modern 2.5 would probably
kick butt -- the V8 was a tight fit in that little car.  It was
clearly meant for the big six.
