[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Hornet X on eBay at $2000+...reserve is NOT met...and ETC......

["lumina333" <lumina333@xxxxxxxxx>]

That is what I think about when I pass by that RARE Gremlin GT...it 
is complete except for the engine. If I bought that car, would I want 
to restore it to stock since it is such a rare bird or drop a V8 into 
it? Would I change the colors or keep it that same orange/black 
combo? For $200 - $300 (the guy's asking price), I think this car is 
worth it no matter what I would do to it. The body is is good shape, 
the interior is complete (including gauge pod), the glass is good, 
the original rims are still on it, etc. Then there is the hornet 
sportabout that I posted on here a couple of weeks ago. That girl 
will probably take $200 for it and it is running, original, & 
complete. Only one fender is bent which can be replaced from cars 
found in my local junkyard. And I could drive it home. But noone 
seems interested. Just like noone jumped at my 258 engine + trans. 
that I pulled from the '74 Gremlin that only needed a starter. And it 
was FREE. So I traded it for some front springs. -Lu-
