151 Iron Duke

STORY

The Spirit replaced the Gremlin for 1979 and was built until 1983. It kept the Gremlin floorpan under a restyled body, as a liftback and a two-door sedan. Engines were a 2.0-litre four-cylinder, later replaced by a 2.5-litre four, and AMC sixes of 232 and 258 cu in. A 304 cu in V8 was offered only in 1979, on the liftback.
