Subject: AMC Spirit Racer For Sale
Hey Eddie. Hope Paige and Noah and (man, I can't ever remember your
other child's name). Anyway, hope all is well. I decided to get out
of the racing scene after doing a fresh rebuild on my 401 and racing it for 3
passes. I think it was just one of those things that I "had" to do
but....probably wasn't a good idea financially. Anyway, I loved rebuilding
the 401 and it runs good. I probably should have put a larger cam in it
but going 12's on motor and 11's on the bottle are fast enough for this old
guy. Actually, I only made 3 passes on the motor and am not going to hit
the bottle. I'll let the next guy do that but it's run 11's in the past
before the rebuild and I expect it will go faster now....maybe 11.40's.
Anyhow, I know you buy and sell alot of cars so I thought I'd ask you how much
you charge to put my car on your site. Here's the details, and a photo is
attached.
fresh 401 (.30) over rebuild with 3 runs on new motor. Ran 12.73 on
motor at AMC Regional regional last week but throttle cable was loose
