Hi !

New on the forum, and nice to "meet" you. Long story short, always wanted a Gremlin and recently found a nice one in Colorado. Having it shipped to Poland as we speak, should be here by the end of November.

I am a long american car fan.
Previous rides:
1987 Chevrolet Camaro

Current rides:
1971 Chrysler Newport Custom 2dr hardtop
1971 AMC Gremlin

Here is a link from the C-body forum, where i started a thread on the Gremlin. Problably will continue here from now on as to the rebuild progress.

https://www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/threads/amc-gremlin.60481/

If you like classic Mopars, here is a link to my Newport restoration:

https://www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/threads/1971-chrysler-newport-custom-383-rebuilding-in-europe.44540/

Not sure about the plan for the car at this time. I will either fix it up a bit, make it less "crusty/rusty" , and use it as a classic daliy beater. Or i will store it for a while, and start a proper restoration as with my Newport. I shall see.

regards! keep rollin'

Welcome to the forum from California,

Have 3 Gremlins myself (not current runners though).
Also a fan of the C-body 2 doors.
Have a 1970 Chrysler Newport "Cordoba Special" 2dr hardtop.
Good luck,

Hope shipping goes smoothly!

You have to have 30 posts to post pics. Main reason is to prevent spammers from posting. That might have been reduced to 20 posts, you[ll have to try it when you get there! Here is how to post pictures though. In the meantime, the links work. Good luck, and thanks for joining!!

Have a date on the Gremlin. The ship is expected on the 5th of December in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I should have the car in Poland in Cracow by mid December :) Can't wait to be honest. Made myself a nice Christmas gift this year !

It's a runner, a little crusty with the rust, but salvagable. On the mechanical side, it was well taken care of, except for reverse gear on the AT Borg Warner, it's absent ;) 

Doesn't really matter since i will be doing a complete restoration on the car. Will keep you posted.

Can't post pics easily, have to hit 30 posts ;)

Long story short, the car burned down @ the restoration shop. Real back luck :( 
There will be no rebuilding of this Gremlin. Makes me really sad, but nothing i can do about it. 
A real shame, the car was perfect for a project. Don't see much hope in finding a similar priced project car. Life.

Here are the pics:
