The Gremlin XR401 is a dealership transplant car in the same vein as the early Yenko or Motion Camaros (pre-COPO) where you could order your 401 in a level of performance you desired and could afford. This is the only known legit Randall 401 Gremlin with original owner documentation and pictures when new from Randall after the conversion.
The OO ordered it with a hi-po Crane cam (solid?), Holley 750 DP on an Edlebrock hi-rise dual plane intake, Hooker headers, and a 4.10 rear end. That's pretty much how the car was rebuilt today except for a complete roller cam and valve train. The rear gear might have been switched to a 3.73 IIRC. It was weighed at the race with Scott driving at 3005 lbs. It isn't a pure stocker or even a FAST car for that matter for all the obvious aftermarket engine parts.
