Maybe insanely lucky! I bought a 1981 AMC Spirit today. Running. With a 
360 V8. With a B&M shifter. With a ton of extra parts. Check out 
the "Lu's 81 Spirit" folder for photos. Needless to say, when I saw the 
Spirit in this guy's yard with a 'For Sale' sign on it, I 
started....um....salivating! Much thanks to my best friend, John, who 
found it and drove me to it this afternoon! I couldn't get to the bank 
fast enough. Price was SUPER reasonable, considering all the extras 
that came with the car. It was originally a 4 banger, and the owner put 
a 360 from an '84 Wagoneer in it as well as a 998(?) transmission from 
a '79 Spirit in it. He said it had a Dana 15 rearend in it. He stripped 
a black AMX and changed the original blue interior to black. He also 
put a Concord hood on it. Tell me what you think! ~Lu~
