Made a roadtrip down to Orlando yesterday and picked up a 74 amc Gremlin X. My girlfriend has been dreaming of owning one forever and she's the one that found it! Didn't really know what to expect, called the owner up and he had no clue about the car. It was given to him by his family from his deceased uncle. But from the few pictures that I was sent, didn't look like I could do too bad. Only was asking 5k.
Well 12hrs later we were looking at it in person. Car was a bit dirty, but looked like show car quality with a buff. The car was sitting on some chrome cragars, and noticed some traction bars out back and thought..hmmmmm. Popped the hood and holy jesus tapdancing eating cornbread on a hot saturday night in august! AMX 390 motor swap with a large nasty cam, edelbrock 750cfm 4 barrel, 1inch spacer, edelbrock torquer intake manifold, hooker headers, full true dual 3in ehuast with flowmasters, and a clean wire tucked bay! T10 4speed trans, with a Hurst t handle with reverse lock out. Mint condition reupholstered interior, new dash, new guages, new carpet, new headliner. Peeked under the chassis and notice it had a complete frame off restoration, the car looked brand new. So I pop back up to my feet and say man this car is alot more than I figured it would be...the seller took this as "I don't wanna pay 5k" which what I meant was holy $h@! this thing is badass! lol So he said, "I really would just like to get this car sold since its taking space up in my driveway...how about 3k? :eeeeeek:
I said SOLD!!!
Here's a few pics of it loaded up ready to head home...
I got so excited I forgot to take engine bay pics, but will do so tomorrow!
