Found 76 AMC Gremlin at the yard today...

[Button]

Found this poor little 258 straight six with A/C, Gremlin in the MOPAR area of the yard today. Notice where a tree grew up between the rear bumper and the body. She seemed awefully solid and if I was a AMC person, I sure would be interested. I loved these with the 304 V-8. There is an older guy here in town that drives a totally stock red, Gremlin thats only non-stock item is dual exhaust. It even has the Levi Jean looking interior.

those things are god awful looking i do dig the dash though

The only thing I see missing that was on my uncles is the black sticker of the Gremlin at the top of the rear 1/4 behind the side window. His even had the same stainless spoiler at the rear window.

I had one of those when I was a kid, man what a tough car I beat the heck out of that car and could not hurt it I did wreck the 3 speed stick trans once but had one out of a mustang laying there that I put in and it kept on going.Lost the rad out of it once due to a hard power shift and drove it home 10 miles with no coolant stopped running 3 times put rad in it and drove it another year do bad they dont make cars that reliable and easy to work on any more.

Gremlins are cool! Hope someone buys it and fixes it up.

That's just plain sad - folks up here pay $2000-$3000 for a project Gremlin that solid up here. :shock: Probably couldn't get the title now, though. If it was in a yard near me I'd have it stripped clean by now - I see a LOT of great parts on that car. :-D

 

[terry]

that is certainly different. would like to have it.wonder if the tree was an option for that year only?

 

[mopardart72]

i wish the dash could fit in a dart but the cars too small lol

Hope it gets saved from the crusher!

always liked those,saw them new back in the day at our local amc dealer

 

[dusterny]

You never see anything that good up in the rust belt. I hope somebody saves it!

 

[homecloned]

I would have pulled the steering wheel on that one.

Talk about it:angry7:

 

[Plik]

LOL at the tree growing through the bumper

 

[sawdoff]

Dad had one when i was young. 304 3 speed it was a terror. A guy comes to the local car show with a 401 gremlin. That would be a handful

I'd LOVE to have a Gremlin someday . Too bad it's a 1976 , as it'd have to be smogged in Ca. :-(

That's an excellent candidate for an AMC 360 / TorqueCommand 8 combo .

Theres a gremlin X in our local yard, I think it was a 304 with a stick, it look's like it might have been purple. It's been there for years, I allways thought that would have been a cool car!

I never realized this car would draw such interest! I've been contacted for parts AND even the car whole! I'll say what I told those who asked, once a car hits the yard, I believe they will not sell the car whole but I could be wrong. They have a special area of cars for sale and most all of them run. I can give the yards contact information if someone is interested, just shoot me a PM.

WOW I have never seen a Gremmy that clean! I really love the tree that grew between the bumper and the body! Just imagine how long this thing sat!!! I saw a 426 Hemi Jammed in one of these several years ago at the Mopar Nats was tubbed and viper red, Plate read " HEMIGREM" wish we had cars this clean up here in Indiana!!!

I grew up right close to an AMC dealership ( Ricker Motors , Whittier 606 Ca 213-OX.-25505 ) so AMC's hold a special place in my heart and mind .

I remember seeing their dealer-sponsored Hurst/AMX ( SS/D , iirc ) , as well as a host of other high-perf AMC's , as Ricker was a high-perf type of guy ( even going back to the Nash-Rambler days ) .

Anyone here ever hear of Randall AMC ? They were in Arizona ; and , they built some mean *** mothers ! 1972 Gremlin "Randall 'X' " with its 401 comes to mind ...

 

[AMC PackRat]

Randall cars are the holy grail for Gremlin owners. :notworth: Even most AMC people have never seen one - I haven't. I bought a couple AMC 360s from a guy in Quincy a few years ago (one's going in my Donohue this spring). He had a built 401 Gremlin - it was scarey fast - I wouldn't ride in it. :burnout:
