 I believe they were '79 and '80 models? IIRC, it was about 1,800 + 
the first year, and 200 + the last/2nd year ( I'm thinking SPirit 
only, not 4x4 ). Not many made at all. What I'd thought would be neat 
is get some body-colored perforated window tint film, the kind that on 
the outside looks sorta solid, but you can see thru the dotted holes 
on the inside, and cut it to match the Gremlin rear quarter outline on 
the bigger Kammback side glass. That way, it looks like a Gremlin, but 
has the advantage of being able to see out the glass still. There is 
one in a sort of "local" yard in Virginia which has a Kammback Spirit, 
beige, missing left front axle or brake hardware only, might still be 
in decent, restoreable shape. Last time I messed with it ( 7 years 
ago? ), the window on the driver side was rolled down, so I rolled it 
back up and shut the door fully. Hoped to save it from rot. Never know 
if I might go back one day to get it, could still happen. LOL. Not til 
I pare down my other projects FIRST< though. 
  Anyway, they're neat cars, but don't have the impact a Gremlin does, 
but with that side glass treatment I thought of, I think it'd change 
the character enough to be "cool". Go for it, Paul.
