Re: [gremlintime] Digest Number 876

I also like the double-takes my Grem gets (especially since it's Big Bad 
Green with a 4" cowl hood, chrome Cragars, & 3" sidepipes)...and it can back 
it up with a healthy (sorta-boosted) 401. It's loud (sidepipes, big-tube 
headers, geardrive, solid cam, blower drive), rides rough, is hard to get in 
and out of with the rollcage...and big, stupid fun!

Which is exactly what I was trying for when I built it from a $50 junker 
with a dead (spun-bearing) 304, a grenaded 3-speed, & a crunched front end.

While I don't think you will every retire on the money you make by selling 
your Gremlin. It does have a lot of good points. You will be noticed when 
your driving down the highway. When I go to car shows I never have to worry 
about getting into the wrong car like so many of the other owners of other 
"classic" car owners do. How many red 65 Mustangs were made anyway. I love 
the idea I can go to a car show and have corvette, street rods, ect park 
next to me and I have never heard anyone ask me what I was doing at the car 
show. I love the idea that I am the only one there. So while you won't get 
rich off the profits of your Gremlin think of it this way. What other car 
can you get for less than $3,000 that is fun to drive, will get you noticed 
when your driving down the street, will start a conversation almost every 
time you stop, can take to car shows, and will out run half the new cars the 
road with the V8 and not do bad with the 6. Think about it. Not much 
difference than that $30,000 street rod parked next to at the next car show 
and your a lot richer. Terry
