As my grandparents (God rest their souls) would say, it's a he/she. Grandma would never call anyone ugly, but if she said you were homely, a plastic surgeon was in your future.

AMC Gremlin with 304 ci V8. 2600lbs. If you could've got hp parts like 302 mustangs and camaro's with that weight you would've had a hot rod. Short wheelbase was a good wheelie popper!

Makes me think of the old car chase movies from the 70's. Vanishing Point, Bullitt, Dirty Mary / Crazy Larry, 2 Lane Blacktop, Macon County Line, to name a few. My favorite was Vanishing Point. Loved the Challenger. I wanted one but couldn't afford it so in '74 when I was 16 I had saved my hard earned money and bought a '70 Duster with a 340. That was a pretty quick little car. Got me in plenty of trouble. Real cheaply made pos's though.

Whoa nice car. Foofoo had a 340 Duster w/TorqueFlite transmission. Built 340 with trans work and a high stall torque converter that was a car to beat. Foofoo was a kid we grew up with (Doug) that could bench 5-6 hundred pounds. Called him foofoo because he blow dryed his hair to flip up on the sides and hair sprayed it. LOL

FooFoo...LOL.. Mine was $1400 cash in1974 when I was 16. A friend of mine saw me one night and asked me what I was doing driving so-and-so's car. I told him it was mine, I had just bought it.. Come to find out the kid had got a speeding ticket, 115 mph in a 55, and his parents made him get rid of it. It ran good and would smoke the tires. I put ET wheels and Scat Track 60's on the back and Goodyear 70's on the front. 14" rims, I believe. I never got a speeding or careless driving ticket in it, I must have been leading a charmed life, but I put a trailer hitch on it to pull our boat for water skiing purposes. I went to my girlfriend's family's lake place on a Saturday and we skied, hung out, and drank beer with her older brothers most of the day. On the way home I got stopped for loud mufflers. The rest is history. DUI at 17 years old. Needless to say I was in deep doo-doo at the house. Kept it until I was 18 and bought my first 4 x 4 truck. Had lots of good memories in that car.
