Leno's Garage had a Levi's edition AMC on it recently, owned by that unfunny famous guy with the puppets.

Denim interior owned a whole bunch.

Denim interior Spirit AMX is the greatest thing to ever exist.

Our CEO at work dailies an RS7 but he says his favourite car is still his high school Javelin AMX which he bought back a few years ago and keeps in unrestored condition.

So awesome.

You're right. I was wondering why the little details didn't match my memory of the Spirit AMX I went to look at several years ago. A Spirit would look exactly like a 2-door Eagle, but with a V8 and no 4x4. That silver hoop over the top was especially throwing me.





And the one that I saw on Craigslist and almost bought

The Levis interior and the 4-gauge accessory pod could point to a somewhat rare combo/edition/something.

So I had intended for 14's car to be the chase/parts runner car when the 60 year old truck breaks down on the Truckventure.

So I guess the runnings are:
NuBeetle
AMX
Camero
Civic

What are the odds that one of these cars ends up on on the back of the truck? I'm sure the AMX could fit if you take the bumpers off. :v:

You can fix the AMX with parts off basically every jeep until the mid 2000s, so I'd go with that.
