I have seen gremlins in restoreable shape on ebay go for alot more than I 
paid for mine. Mine is in very good shape, especially for a 1970..!! Mine still 
has the original specs emblem on the firewall and it is perfect and readable!! 
The guy was asking $1500 for it, which was a great price for a car in such 
great shape! I noticed that the starter was dragging a bit and the clutch 
was going out.. I brought up these things and got the car for $1275!! I 
couldnt believe he went for it... I have put maybe $200 into it with the clutch 
parts and starter... Some waxing and it is ready for the car show!!
