Yup, I agree. But sometimes you simply can't put a $ figure on sentimental
value I guess.

Gremlin on ebay
10 grand tied up in a 6 Banger Gremlin. If you would have told me that 20
years ago I would have said you were crazy.
Guess what? It's coming to Houston. The fellow who stopped by here last
week, who lives in Pearland about 20 miles from me bought it. He showed the
photos to his body man and his body man said no problem. He also just bought
a 71 Gremlin up in Oregon. He is the same fellow if you look thru the
archives here I forwarded a '1/4 panel wanted' a few weeks ago, as he is
restoring (it is totally stipped and on a rotisserie like thing) 71 Gremlin
right now, or at least his shop is, he is original owner of that red 71 So
sort of neat, but he called me today and mentioned it and even before I had
hit send here, he said 'I was the guy who bought it' so I read him my
comments. He thinks he will have about $10K into it once put back into shape
it was before accident. Not sure why he is picking up a few Gremlins but no
one has ever explained to me why I've owned 334 AMCs and still drive them
daily!

Wrecked Gremlin on ebay
I have looked it over as well and I don't think the damage goes to
the frame. A piller yes but not frame. I agree it would be alot to pay to
have it repaired not for someone wanting to resell it for a profit. More
for the doit yourselfer. But I would argue it has way more then
500.00 worth of parts left on that car. How much for a good rust free
hood, Fender, pass side door? rear quarters? What is a really nice rear
spoiler worth nowadays? How bout really nice tail lights? I could go on.
Interior parts?

Yes and no. Looks like someone dropped in a heck of a lot more than
high bid on it...BEFORE it was hit. However, looking at the photos
from a variety of angles this car has frame damage it appears, so
someone will spend $1/5K/CHEAP! ! to $4K/HIGH! to get that
driver side front put back together.
It is a lot more than door and
fender....you will have to adjust unibody
under there or car will
eat up tires for rest of days, and one will have to
line up new door
on there, of which even when repaired (been there done that
column)
you will have tale-tell gap in the door; whether front, top, bottom,
or even striker area. So I'll say they will have about $3K into the
framework alone, not counting paint after body/frame. And then
depending on
whether they Maaco it or get a good paint job
afterwards, price would be
open checkbook. So yes, someone paid a
lot of money for it. I have passed on
AMC with "lesser hits" in
police storage and salvage lots here thru years;
this Gremlin would
have brought less than $500 at a Houston auction.

Seems like a lot of money for a wrecked
Gremlin.
