Cool....
Being sick in the head, I actually like AMC’s. Will probably be hard to make it competitive though. And when you wad it up-a new shell will take a while to find. Maybe slightly easier to find a Spirit body which appears to be quite similar if not the same. Didn’t Henderson’s car have a 401 V-8 in it? What engine and class do you plan on running it in? Or are you even going to rally it? Also please put your real name and location per the website rules. ................................................. .....................

Great, now you’ve gone and made me type in “AMC “ on my local craigslist search-which I haven’t done for a while.
Found the gem posted below. Although obviously not rally related. Oh and I checked your other posts. I remember you. You are a sick sick man with all those American motors cars! ................................................. ..................... Support your Local North American Rally Forum!!

Yes an Eagle is the 4 wheel drive of a spirit and in 1979 was last year of AMX with a 304 V8 available. Gene son , Mark, I email communication with sent me pictures of his Dad car, yes had a V8, like the Dean Blagowski car had a V8 ( 390) full time 4 WD , which I bought from Kyle in 2016. But in 2018, kidney cancer, had to sell it before I could really work on it, had only started to return the paint color to original. Sold to Ted, back to Detroit area. That car had 3 shocks each side front. Many pictures available on internet when it was selling in 2011.

I also have a 1970, out of California, no rust Javelin 390 option, 4 speed, 140 mph speedometer, tach, previous owner must have worked in a chrome plating shop, any piece of steel item that could be unbolted was chrome plated, including the end rod of steering column. AND a did a replica car of the 1979 AMX raced at Nurburgring by a team that James Brolin ( married to Barbra Streisand). was a driver. Picture attached with me by the original car in 2009. Then a picture of my replica... THERE....Does that cure me of my sickness...now.) ,lol |

EagleSX, I hope that you make it through the kidney cancer.
There was a built V8 motor for this vehicle over in one of the FB rally groups that had a provenance to Gene Henderson I beleive. Could be a nice addition. "Talk about drugs.
