AMC Eagle Spirit Kammback





Due to inexplicable demand, the Gremlin bodystyle was brought back to life with the new generation of AMC Eagle/Concord bodies. Technically an evolution of the Gremlin anyway, the fastback Eagle Spirit liftback was modifed into the Spirit Kammback, which basically looked like the Spirit with a Gremlin back end tacked on. The Eagle/Concord front looked slightly better than the Gremlin but it's higher, chunky shape made the Kammback body look even more chopped off, although the rear quarter windows were larger.

Worse yet, it was available in 4 wheel drive, and looked even more awkward with the extra ground clearance.
