      Pro-touring Gremlin?

      Anybody build one yet? Saw this diecast one, and LOL'd.



      I'd bet there's a few other oddities out there...

      I'd love to see a PT'd Vega, Pinto, and Checker cab (I'n crazy like that)

      I have been saying for awhile now that a Gremlin would make a great PT car. They handle great. They won a couple chamionships in IMSA RS series.

      I was doing an AMC Spirit about 5 years ago, right after Poison Dart. It had a 3 link, with C4 corvette front suspension and a 6 inch engine setback. A real AMC engine that made 635hp on the dyno. The plug got pulled, never got finished. A shame.

      I think it's more an optical illusion with the white stripe by the windows. The smoother curve of the rear side glass will be the tricky bit.

      I've admired her car for years. I had a pacer in high school, and will build one again.
      The 4.0 Jeep motor is definitely FTW!

      She ain't bad herself.

      Why, as a matter of fact, I am!!!!

      I'm a new member, but I've visited this forum before for information. I found this thread in a google search

      1975 AMC Gremlin X Levi Edition

      Fairly clean body with a few dings and a small amount of rust; is now currently dismantled. The progress on my project is very slow because I'm in college right now. But Pro Touring is the goal....



      Small block and 700R4 mock up





      LH Motor mount, RH mount to come in the future....
      (Using Alston small block mounts)




      Other parts in the works: Ford 9" rear end, complete rewire, custom dashboard (the original one was cracked so badly, and any others from donor cars will most likely be the same way), Vintage Air.... you know, pro touring!
