Re: 2-passenger Gremlins - 2nd-hand info....

[Gremlingts@xxxx]

 I used to bowl with a lady in the '90s who said she'd owned two Gremlins, 
and both had the non-functional rear hatch, just glass, and no rear seat. She 
said she LOVED those cars, and really missed them. This was back when they 
were new, and I probably didn't even know what an AMC was at that time, and I 
probably wasn't even driving then. :) Anyway, I do know they were bought by 
individuals, at least one that I know of, and as far as cost, well, I don't 
think they'd pull them from the assembly line to de-build them. They just 
wouldn't add rear seats, wouldn't drill the roof for hatch hinges, and would 
just install the plain glass. Doesn't seem like rocket science to ME. Can't 
see where the extra cost would be. Same for a plain-jane car vs. an optioned 
out car going down the assembly line, gotta spend more time installing extras 
than NOT installing things, so I don't see how it could cost MORE to do LESS. 
Doesn't make sense, really. But, I wasn't on the assembly line, either. :D 
Wish I'd seen it , though!
