Re: [BaadAssGremlins] 74 Gremlin for $13600



I think one thing missing from this is that the historical aspect of the vehicle. It might be the lowest mile survivor known to exist of that Series. Years ago in the late 90s there was a 71 Matador two door for sale in Clyde, Texas, red, 304, AT, with 1334 original miles. It kept showing up at auctions and at Pate and no bites for $10K. The owner asked me what I thought it was worth knowing I fool with AMCs, I told him realistically about $5-$7K. He sold it for $5500 and it was on the showfield in Kenosha in 98...with 1334 original miles on it still. To me at least, some cars like that are the ones that others shuold be judged against. The reason why is you have original everything, chances are oil, air in tires, and so forth. Granted that someone spends $75-$100 per hour for restoration costs excluding hard to find used and next to impossible NOS for their AMC, you can see how $13,000 ain't shit. If you have ever dropped $5K into only a engine or $7K into a paint and body job you know what I mean. Imagine for a minute if this car was a 1974 (pick any other model besides AMC anything) and $13K would be a insult and chances are, reserve would have not been met.

The guy that just sold that gremlin has one that has 900 original miles on it. It is just as mint too. So that car was not the best of the best. I know he didn't pay anywhere near that for anyof them either. Only 2 years ago.
I think 15,000 is a little much. You would just have to have a lot of money
laying around with nothing to do with it. To me the car is not drive-able. I
guess you would have one of a kind. You might be right Doc. about the price of
the rest of them going up so AMC is starting to raise in price. I remember at
the September show in the park a people were sticking $10,000 price tags on
anything. A guy was telling me that he thinks the reason the prices are going
up is because people are not making any money off their retirement plans so
they are pulling the money out of them and investing in cars. He might be
right. Don't know about where you guys live but around here you go to car
shows and I would say 70% are owned by guys in their late 50's and early 60's.
You see younger guy around but not many

By the way the car sold for over 15 thousand.

Hal, both of mine are early '74s (made in Oct '73) both have the same latch as the 13000 car. Only thing I see 'wrong' is the boot and maybe shifter lever. Should have an oval or round boot not the rectangle one on this car.  'The Mix'

I was just looking at this car and comparing it to mine when mine was   new and it seems there is a discrepency. The hatch opening device on   the 13000 car looks to be from an older year since mine has just a   button( like a lock/key cylinder) and I know mine is an original 74.  And here I was bragging on this ride.    Anybody figure this out???????  Hal               Yahoo!
