Better was later in High School one of the guys had a Black w Black gut Gremlin with a blood red Gremlin X stripe 401 4-spd w Keystone Classic mags and 50 series fat tires...was said it would pull front wheels in the air during power shifts...same guy had @ same time had a Honda CBX 6-cylinder bike w Kerker Header and Sticky tires...about same paint job as the Gremi IIRC.
