Ok I stand corrected Terry,your complaint is about the fact this car was
built on the assem. line. I agree me thinks the car was done up inside a special
shop Teague had. I'm thinking 6 banger Gremlin with a already existing 70 Hornet
304 xmember and V8 rear and a 360 from the line.

I agree a lot of money was and is wasted. My father worked for the VA as
a cook and because some guy in Washington said the life of a pan or pot was 5
years they had to throw every pot, pan, spoon and fork in a dumpster every 5
years. He said since they had twice as many as they needed they were throwing
stuff out that were never used. Having spent a summer at GE working on and
around a assembly line I just find it hard to believe that they would
run this special car with all the special parts on it down the line. I would
love to know how many times that line had to be stopped because a special part
wasn't there. It would have cost them a fortune. Now if you told me they drove
it off the line as a 6 and it went to the rework shop where it was turned into
this car I would believe that. I also believe all these special cars existed
and that most ended up being crushed. I just don't believe they were built on
the assembly line. I also find it very hard to believe that there wasn't any
Gremlins built in February if they had them in the showroom on April 1. That
would mean that in a three week span AMC built enough Gremlins and shipped
enough Gremlins to every dealership in the US and Canada to have 5 or 6 on the
lot. That would been one hell of a feat if it happen. I am not
saying it didn't happen. I am just saying it is all hard to believe.
