1973 AMC Gremlin

This is a very unique 1973 Gremlin X. The car was originally purchased in 2006 from a field in Georgia.  The owners were the second purchasers of the car. It had a bent front fender and lower valance.  We completely disassembled the automobile over the next few years replacing or renewing every bolt and nut in the car.  We cut the car off in front of the shock towers (factory seam) and welded on a new one from a donor car (taken to body shop and placed on frame machine to insure straightness).  We purchased a 1973 Hornet from Idaho and used the front clip to get a look we liked.  This particular style (Hornet front clip with Gremlin body was the Gremlin style sold in Mexico). The car has 3 coats of color and 4 coats of clear with the gold ghost stripes painted on.  The car was completed and appeared in its first show in 2010 (Won 1st Place).  Odometer reads 14131 however after rebuild the engine has only been driven 1000 miles at most. The drive train is all AMC; a 360 cubic inch V8 and 4 speed Borg Warner Super T-10 Transmission (Hurst competition plus shifter) coupled to a AMC Posi-Track 4. 56 rear end.  The engine was completely updated. rebuilt; new Isky custom ground camshaft (dual pattern 495 Intake 512 exhaust) the cylinder heads are also completely rebuilt; new seals. screw in studs. fresh valve grind. push rod guide plates. custom push rods. needle bearing roller rocker arms. etc.  Edelbrock Intake manifold. Demon 750 cfm carburetor. ceramic coated headers. with extensive chrome effects through out the engine bay.  Interior is a two color design. black and saddle to match the exterior of the car.  New Dash from Donor car. new and additional gauges. ew carpet through out the car.  The front 2 seats are powered and were out of a BMW 5 series and we had the back seats covered in black leather to match style. Pioneer stereo was added with amp while car was apart so wiring would look like it came from the factory.  The vehicle is as perfect as you can expect for a 43 year old car.  No dings or dents. there are 2 minor flaws in the paint that you can barely see. but wanted to let you know.  The car has appeared in numerous car shows and people love it!!   The automobile was just shown at the AMC Nationals in Cordova. Illinois. created quite a stir winning 2nd place.  Easily one of the most popular cars at the show. The car has not been raced. but it runs like a scalded ape.  The car is mostly driven around town and local (St. Louis area) car shows only.  If event is over 25 miles away we usually tow the car due to the 4. 56 gears. Car is available to view anytime.  Preferred cash or paypal.  Will take cashier check or Money order but will not release car until cleared through bank.  $1. 00 deposit due within 24 hours of sale.  Buyer will be responsible for shipping.
