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, g-man

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: Edited by Unix - Jan/28/2022 at 4:52pm |
