What we are actually considering is this 1976 AMC GremlinsInterestingly, American Motors entered the compact car market with the Honda Civic and Accord.
But the Gremlin was no compact car. Instead, it was a medium-sized car (Hornet) with much of the rear cut off to save on development costs for AMC. Naturally, it's the part of the car that carries passengers and their luggage, greatly reducing the Gremlin's space from that of the larger Hornet. Met still howver, offer You can use a much larger engine in the midsize vehicle engine bay. say, Those Hondas. A more modern example of this cost-saving model development is BMW's E36 compact. lovely, A spiritual descendant of Gremlins.
The advertisement claims that this 200th anniversary car belonged to the seller's mother. apparently she Only 40,000 miles on it before turning off the keys.It comes in a brown metallic paint that the seller says is an old respray, but is the factory shade.presend get on the RAlly-style wheels, but they don't come with the deal, and the car rolls steely with proper covers instead.
Like the exterior, the cabin has been restored, but the vinyl on the seats is still factory. Its seating consists of a front bench with a forward-folding backrest to aid in egress into the rear compartment. There, seats that look very uncomfortable provide accommodation for two additional passengers. Everything in the cabin is complete and looks pretty clean.
As mentioned, the Gremlin's odd proportions allow for a massive engine compartment, which in this case is filled with AMC's beefy 258 CID OHV straight-six. 90 horsepower, and he's even got 170 lb-ft of torque in his Gremlin. A 304 CID V8 was also available, but combined with the 219 lb-ft torsion he made only 122 horsepower. His three-speed TorqueFlite, borrowed from Chrysler, serves as the transmission.
Like the cabin, the engine bay looks complete down to the factory air cleaner. Also, can anyone tell me what the metal circle with the red cone on the passenger side is? Wheels, well, I'll give you a gold star.
While you're at it, let's wrap up the discussion on the rest of the car. According to the ad, it is clearly titled "Runs great." The seller wants the car to be a good home. It's probably with an AMC fan (you know who you are), and that fan has to come up with $9,500 or so since that's the asking price of the car.
What do you think of a fair price for this old small car? Or, like the name suggests, does the price wreak havoc on this one? gremlinsales opportunities?
