This car was originally a 304ci w/3 spd tranny. The paint was faded, but very little rust on this low mileage car (46000mi). It has the original tuneable racing shocks on the front. I've got VERY stiff four leafs with a "Torque Links" setup. I've dropped in a 360ci from a '74 Javelin (already had cam installed), swapped in a 3.54 "Twin Grip" rear, added Hedman Hedders, a 650cfm Holley Double Pumper (mech. secondaries), an AMC "Torque Command" 727 tranny. I had to get my driveshaft shortened and balanced (from a Rebel). I have also added a B&M Shift Improver Kit and a B&M StarShifter. This summer I finally added dual Flowmaster exhaust and bought new BF Goodrich Radial T/As (205/70/R14) for the front. I'm still running Daytona Radials (P275/60/R15) on the rear. I also had my Radiator completely rebuilt and did a Drum-to-Disc swap on the front brakes (donor was a Concord). Next summer (2005) I plan to add MSD Electronic Ignition, and a Blaster Coil. If money permits, I'd also like to add some kind of modern sound system and fix some cosmetic inconsistencies and tint the windows.

I put the wheels/tires from my old 1970 Rebel SST on it to haul it home.

Hey there, I talked to you about your Gremlin once a year or so ago, I had an Eagle SX/4.

Hows the progress going on your Gremlin lately?

Check out my Eagle as well, its quite a bit different than when you saw it.
