PATRICK. WHY are you being such an arrogant sounding ass???? OHHH 
myyy a Mopar man. Sooo you are one of those..."MY brand will beat any 
other car"...type of guys?? I feel sorry for you. Everyone has the 
right to like what they want..USA here remember! I have owned two 68 
Chargers long ago. NICE cars wish i had them back. One i sold..other 
a lady ran a stop sign and totalled in 1975.But then again..i owned a 
1970 REBEL MACHINE that i was forced to sell in 1977-78. NOW thats 
the all time..wish i had it back car for me .I don't give a rats asss 
if your car is faster than mine. As long as I like my Gremlin,my 
wifes AMX, my Ambassador convertible(one of 1260 made)..i don't CARE 
if ANYONE else does! I LOVE my cars..do NOT give a DAMN if anyone 
else does!. Oh forgot..i also have a 1965 Falcon Futura 2dr hardtop 
i've had since 1982. 289 dual quad 4 speed...etc,and a 1957 F100 with 
a 460.Joe. My 2 cents worth again..whether needed or not!  In

reading all this negitive response , you guys all keep crying over 
the same thing all day long , maybe thats why people get ripped off 
on ebay maybe noone know here really knows what they are talking 
about anyway , who cares really , but please to somebody restoring a 
car of fixing theres up needing original parts , 2000 dollars doesnt 
seem that hi to me when you sit and think how much your going to 
spend peicing your whole car together, some guys i know got alot more 
into there car buying aftermarket parts and its still not right , so 
to the right person this would be a gold mine , so the way i see it 
time is on my side anyway the longer i wait the more worth this 
gremlin is gonna be worth , the way i see it mopar rules anyway, any 
money i get would just go in my mopar to eat amc's anyway so maybe 
your right who really does care but if you ask me you bunch of 
crybabys arent doing your car club any justice
>  sitting here putting everything someones say down , all i can say 
is grow up you crybabys, and to the dude that bought the grill i dont 
know how much you paid but see nowyour a little closer to that 2000 
dollar mark everyday , ha ha ha ha ha ,sincerly the bashed
