Re: [BaadAssGremlins] VOTE....make the 72 a 401 or make it stock looking

Here are a few photos in case you lean towards the non stock thing. You know for what it is worth, my 71 SC/360 is the ONLY Medium Blue Metallic SC/360 KNOWN TO EXIST. There were 784 total produced and mine is one of only 249 360/4V, Hurst 4speed, Go Pack Twin Grip (3:91) made. I had more than a few folks (who could not find Texas on a map anyhows) give me some flak back in 90s for customizing it. I told them to kiss my big red haired Messkin/Irish ass, as they ain't judges and it ain't thier car. I can't take this thing anywhere without it drawing a crowd. It's loud, fast and well, you can see the photos here. The rare black P1 SC/360 is Shannon Halverson's up in MN launching. Rare? Handful of BLACK SC/360s made and they had things unique (like 78 AMXs) to only black cars. His is a formidable ride and if I can recall what he consistently turns, will post here. If you need a SC/360 scoop, I have this one:

Ok.Look at photos of Joes 72. Than.... Lets have a roll call here.
Do i put the green 72 back to stock(boring 232), maybe a stock looking
V8 conversion( no cowl hood)? THEN put my 401/9" rear,frame
connectors..etc in the primered stripper model 73????? Let me know
what all you think? I can see both sides. My car looks great(to me)
with the big Cragars, but also i can see the argument for NOT messing
up a 42,000 mile good paint/interior car. WAY confused now.....Joe

Stock is boring! every Gremlin I see that's stock I imagine Big N lils and a built up AMC V8 under the hood. I don't care for bench seats,6 bangers 13 inch tires and single exhausts! Cmoon Joe,your so close with the car now. I mean it has the look and stance,now drop in that 401 and have some fun.Do you want people to yawn when they look at yer Gremlin or do you want their friggin eyes to bug outta their skulls? save the 73 for another project like a Merlin V12 conversion and make it into a full sized HotWheels "OPEN FIRE" replicar. :-P
