Gas line was plugged and froze when I bought it and I had to fix that. Float in the Carburetor is not working properly, runs to rich at the moment. Rusted rocker panels.
Love this car, positrack, 304 4 barrel with a standard 3 on the floor, she GOES!!!.
"Mustang killer" haha... maybe a '76 Mustang II with a four cylinder. And two flat tires.
There is no mustang alive that could catch a 2500 lb 200 HP V8 car! Maybe he should give it the 401 treatment :) Definitely a vette killer then!
I've owned 5 Gremmies and not one of them was a dud. Even the 6 Cyl 232 got 25 mpg with a youthful (21 yr old) person driving it.
Butt ugly, but they were the KIA of the day.
J.B. Here, I've owned several gremlin's and they are the most enjoyable cars I've ever had. and I've have owned many cars. I am in search for a Gremlin X, Also my son wants one also. To all those who are hating on the gremlin, What's the matter? ashamed because you never owned a real car? It takes a real person to love a gremlin! Steven good luck with your car!
Hello, J.B., news flash, Steven doesn't own this Gremlin nor any of the other cars reviewed on this site.
Good luck finding your Gremlin, only place you are likely to find two of them is in a salvage yard...
The first car I ever bought was a new 1974 Gremlin with the 304 V-8 engine and a 3 speed manual transmission. I LOVED sitting at a light in our college town and having a Challenger pull up next to me. I would hit the gas a little to get their attention, nod down the road and when the light went green I would flat run away from them. Oh they'd finally catch me, but it was fun while it lasted.
Fun to drive and would pass everything on the road except a gas station. Best mileage I got was 18 mpg. Different time.
Heh, beating those Simcas and Fiats with your Gremlin must have been fun indeed, good times...
I had a 73 Gremlin X 5 litre purchased new. With engine mods, more rubber on the ground (a lot of room within the existing wheel wells at stock height) plus traction bars the entire rear of car would disappear with massive burnouts. Some had the 401 transplanted later as well. I also knew of a 360SC Hornet,390 AMX's and even Mark Donahue Javelins were very common in the day.
