DTO: Pace Picante Sauce: 1981 AMC Spirit AMX Turbo Pace Car

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.  Find this 1981 AMC Spirit AMX Turbo Pace Car for sale in West Palm Beach, FL currently bidding for $23,200 reserve-not-met with 7 days to go.  Tip from the original Scot C.
