I think this was one of the ultra-rare examples of the Austin Healey
rebodied American Motors "Spirit". Obviously, in the seller's state of
excitement in anticipation of his soon to be realized dreams of wealth from
his wildly popular auction he got carried away and misspelled Spirit as
Sprite. I'm sure we can all understand his minor slip. I am only surprised
that he is putting this beauty on eBay rather than as a featured auction at
Barrett-Jackson or one of the other big-time auctions where a motorcar of
this nature truly deserves to be (minor damage notwithstanding).
Honestly, sometimes you guys are just too hard on some of these cars. Start
bidding before it's too late!

I have asked the seller for a photo of the chassis plate, or other
documentation
to verify it as an American Motors Sprite. If he can produce it, I am VERY
interested in buying this car.........
