AMC Gremlin tied to VA sniper

[adriver]

Wow, seems to be a lot of burning fuel truck on the road today.
But here is a note you might have missed.
Sort of weird about the choice of the car.
Well yes, the sniper part too.

Smart guy, Go do a stupid crime and drive a GREMLIN as a get away car. Should have made the cops job easy.

Its a weak picture but the stripe suggests 75 or 76 model Gremlin.
I had a 73 Levis X with a 304 V8. Quickest red light to red light car I've ever owned. If the pavement was wet it would'nt hook up under WOT for 100 yards but on dry pavement with a full fuel tank (6 dollars ! man those were the good 'ol days) that lil ride would fly !
Couple years ago Doral cigs included a card picturing identical to the model I had.
As for the idiot sniper he was driving one of very few still in the streets. No confusion as to what it was .
Cheers

Hmmm..... A Gremlin with chrome front wheels, black rear wheels, an aftermarket grill and a chrome rear spoiler. I wonder if he'll get the death penalty for incredibly bad taste.

So the thinking is to do a crime and blend in to the public and get away clean using a 75 gremlin and a side stripe,ya right,mrmopartech
