CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER | |
---|---|
Santa probably won't bring you what you really want, but that's okay, you can just treat yourself to this really cool AMC Gremlin.It's a super honest 49,000-mile car in extremely original condition. It was Ziebarted when brand new and that's probably what saved it. 1977 was the last restyle featuring the new front end, enlarged tail lamps and frameless glass hatch.49,867 miles are consistent with condition and believed original.Sand Tan Paint is believed original with excellent shine and only a few minor nicks. There is no evidence of repainting and it appears in every way to be its factory finish. There are no serious rust issues, just one small spot of corrosion ahead of the right rear wheel with paint loss. Strong floors. The car is tight and dry, the doors close well. The interior is mostly excellent, however, there are some cracks in the dash hard plastics (pad itself is flawless) and the bucket seats are from a newer AMC product. It probably had a bench seat originally. Great door panels, nice headliner and carpets. Original dog dish wheel covers and new Tiger Paw tires with only a couple hundred miles on them. 232 six with three speed automatic. Starts easily, shifts well, but's still a Gremlin with a 232 so don't expect to win any races. We've flushed the transmission, replaced the radiator, water pump and hoses, replaced the valve cover gaskets, front brake hoses and the main brake line. We've smogged it twice in CA -most recently two years and 40- yes 40! miles ago, but this summer we just put it on non-op. The title status is clear.It's an adorkable little car but we just don't use it- we've probably driven it less than 500 miles in five years, it's primarily an indoor display vehicle but now we have two Gremlins and so it's time to find this one a happy new home. Gremlins are attention getters, so don't drive it to any illicit encounters and be prepared to answer questions like "Dude, what is that?" Concours d'Lemons or Malaise Daze ready. We are a private collection and not a dealer. Car is located in Palm Springs CA and may be inspected prior to bidding. Please contact me for an appointment. International buyers must be prepared to pay by bank wire, I can help arrange port delivery. Questions? Call Jeff at 760.409.7075 or email. Car is for sale locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time. |
