1972 Gremlin 401 Transplant almost done.

I don't know if this is rumor or not -- but supposedly the designer of the Gremlin up there in Kenosha died before he completed the car. No one else knew what to do, so they just drew a line down the back of the drawing and sent it off to production ... Hmmm ... LoL -- TAZ

I never heard that story. I can find out though. The Prototype Gremlin that was Dick Teague's and PPG did a lot to it and it was built in Feb.1970 Is in my Neighborhood and has been for years. It was Orange and had a 360 in it. Now a 401 also. The front turn signals were from a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda. Dick Teague thought those were the best ever designed turn signals and used them in different prototype designs. The Hdqtrs and design studio was by my house in Detroit.

Wow , Took it on it's first main voyage last night. Wow is this car sick and stupid fast. Handles awesome with the Control Geek Front Suspension. IT Goes straight . I never could give it more than half throttle. The Booth & Aarons 401 spins like some sick monster stroker motor,. The 904 hits good and hard. Holy Crap this car is sick and I love it.
