This is true to a extent, there are folks who may/may not want or own a
Gremlin however, there are a mess of folks out there who love go carts and would
jump on something like that. Sort of like the people you see who buy marbles
they don't play with, cars they don't, old books they don't read, and paintings
and don't paint I guess. I have a record of selling cars on ebay about as good
as Detroit Lions, of the 15 cars have put on there thru years, something like
4-11 which might be better than the Lions record last 2 years.
This little 77 red/red Gremlin here, ran, drop, stopped, and put in on ebay
with no reserve and it sold for a whopping $310.
Still, I think if someone did a "limited run" the serious people who aren't
stanind in soviet bread lines waiting for bailout and do have some money would
possibly pick one up, maybe a run of say, 50-100 cars max would bring out
collectors, and many of them would not necessarily be AMC fans!

How
right you are, Terry. Unless it is really nice (or a V-8) it is hard to get
$2000 for a real full size Gremlin. Most Gremlin enthusiasts (probably AMC
fans in general) either don't have a lot of money, or because of what
Eddie calls the "Rambler Mentality" aren't willing to buy anything unless it's
an outright steal. I sold a rust free 1977 Gremlin, a true California car,
last spring on ebay and it only brought $1247. Last time I'll do a no reserve
auction.

While it would be nice to see someone produce them I just wonder
if there would be a market for them. Those Shriner cars cost around 2
grand. For that kind of money or not much more you can buy the real
thing.

Good idea to mass produce them, not sure how one
would repro the chassis however. Those were offered thru AMC
dealerships starting in 1974, and then they also offered a Pacer.
They sold more of the Gremlin than Pacer ones, but both equally rare
to come across. Sometimes at the bigger AMC meets you will see one
or two scooting around with big ad! ult head sticking out of it like
Shriner cars, but just neat part of AMC memorabilia.

Now there is a perfect project for fibreglass - Use
that body to make a mold, and then you could mass produce
them!!!!!

Gremlin Go Cart
While I was at fall Carlisle I saw this Gremlin go cart in
the flea market. They wanted 1200 bucks for it. It has some
cracks around the roof. I posted a pic of it
