If I had to get a Gremlin, it'd be a lot more like this one than that '78 6 cylinder car!

A member on here repeated a funny line he heard: "it is rare for me to crap my pants. That doesn't make it desirable or valuable." That sums up my reaction to that Gremlin nicely.

I'd like to drive one with the 401 in it. I'll bet it's a fast little car. But there would be no handling with it at all. It would be a nose heavy roll over waiting to happen.

A friend of mine back in 72 that was from my home town and worked at Eastman Kodak with me in Rochester, NY bought one new like it with a 4 speed. It wasn't an XP, just an X, but it did have the V8 in it without the side pipes. It was a great little car with a lot of power. Actually too much for the weight of the car.


The 72 Gremlin was the best looking of them all. To me any year afterwards was butt ugly.
