I had first seen that orange Gremlin at the Houston Autorama back in November 1983. It was chopped 6 inches and at the time, had a blown small block Chevy V-8. It showed up again at the 2009 Houston Autorama in the AMC of Houston Car Club display. The current owner, Cliff Osborne, hasn't had it very long. The first thing he did was remove the Chevy engine and replaced it with an AMC 343. He also added an adapter to the intake to run three two barrell carbs.

 

He knew the owner and the guy that chopped the top. The current owner had been searching for it for a long time. The owner had sold the Gremlin and it changed hands a few times.

Cliff has been out of town for several weeks. Sometime after he returns, I hope to go pay him a visit to see it again and get some of my own photos. I certainly don't remember the roof looking like it was humped.

Are you talking about the Gremlin with the shaved roof? That is a local guy's car here, not sure where he got it though,

That the worst choptop job I've ever seen. I have pics of that car it says "Orange Crate" on the back.
