The AMC Spirit (1979-1983) was a subcompact 2-door replacement for the cosmetically challenged Gremlin and was available as a 2-door sedan or 3-door hatchback. From 1979-80 AMC created a performance version of the Spirit called the AMX - a name harkening back to the short wheel base two-seater muscle car built between 1969-70. In 1980 the Spirit AMX was only available with a big inline-6 up front, so when PPG Indy Car World series commissioned a car for pace duty from Autodynamics in Troy, MI it became the one and only Spirit AMX Turbo.

The Gremlin wasn't known for its exceptional build quality and thin gauge rust-prone sheet metal meant the movie Gremlin wasn't the only version that you shouldn't get damp or feed after midnight.

Prepare yourself for some action, as this T-top equipped beauty will blow your mullet right off your head. The 4th generation Chevrolet Camaro debuted in 1993 with an all-new sleek door-stop inspired look and a $995 option for an "Indy 500 Pace Car Edition.' Some wife-beater wearing hairy backed dudes opted to get the "Pace Car" edition, they probably would have sold 10X if it had been NASCAR themed, not that Indy attracts the 'high-brow' Ferrari jacket douche-bags, but the bottom line is that just over 600 of the Pace Car edition were ever sold. Most Z28s have lived great lives doing donuts in high-school parking lots and routinely causing police to pull them over for the generally being awesome, but today's minty clean feature has been pamper and only has 6k miles on the odometer.
