AMC Gremlin vs. Ford Pinto: Who Ya Got?

64. where's the rest of your car toots..

I would prefer to put the Gremlin in the blue corner because the red corner indicates money and those other guys. The blue corner represents 'the people'. I had a '73 Gremlin named Gretta. 6cyl, 3 speed. I parted it out while I drove it and it could go through creeks, into ditches, up mountains, down mountains, (at a very high speed) and never let me down. 258 six with 7 main bearings I think. The same engine design used in the Jeep 4.0 and today in other countries. You usually could not blow it up, just stop it from rotating with no oil. I had a rather large car collection at the time, nearly 150 cars, but I drove 'Gretta' because you could park anywhere and no one wanted to park next to you. My nice cars always needed to be parked a mile from the store and some nin-com-poop with an old subaru would always park over the line next to me...primeapes, like the late Burgess Meredith said in "Grumpy Old Men", "can't kill'em". The most fun was the SC/Rambler...like driving a drug. saw a cheap econo-drag altered. Maybe I could take it to Woodburn? Well, it is 8pm here at the beach in Oregon, time to get the turkey out of the oven... The Gremlin was in a different class than the Pinto. You should use the AMC Spirit to compare but different decade, keep the dirty side down,stuntgirl56
