I
am selling my 1977 AMC Gremlin, in the six years that I have owned it, it has
been garage kept. I purchased it from the state of Florida. If you love odd and
quirky, you will love this car. The Gremlin was sold by AMC from 1970
through 1978.
My Gremlin has a 6 cylinder 258 cu engine. I have
owned this car for six years and it is time for someone else to enjoy it
as much as I have. The previous owner (an AMC enthusiast) did a lot of
work on the car. He rebuilt the engine, redid the interior, painted the
car red and really restored the car. For a 40 year old car, it is in
great shape. There are some minor issues with the car that can be fixed
easily and inexpensively. The paint is worn in some spots and it should
be repainted. The car has some rust, but nothing that affects
the structural integrity of the car. The only “major” problem with the
car is that is has a transmission fluid leak. My mechanic tells me that
it needs a new seal. Have replaced intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, replaced heater core, heater hoses, repaired AC hose and recharged system, new
master cylinder, carburetor, distributer, coil, replaced engine mounts, replaced thermostat, replaced water pump, Removed the
gas tank sending unit and replaced float. Think that all about sums up all the
repairs since 2011.
The car runs beautifully, although it is a little hard to
start after it has been sitting for a while. It runs and stops with no
problems and is a fun car to drive. It has never been a trailer queen, although not a daily driver. Never crashed and never abused, the car has
a very retro interior and it has an AM/FM radio. The radio is not
original to the Gremlin, but came from a 1970’s AMC Hornet. It has some
other minor issues the passenger door handle is tough to open, but does open, just hard, the rubber around the rear window/hatch is the wrong size so the
rear window/hatch does not lock, but overall the car is in good shape. The clear
coat is coming off which you can really see on the hood and the top. I do
have the OEM metal rear panel valance completely
brand new in box for the area around the tail lights, also have a luggage rack
that I purchased very used that I never even attempted to have put on..
When people see it on the street, everyone wants to talk
about it. I am amazed by the number of people that tell me that they or a
family member had one ion the seventies. It is definitely a head turner
and a great conversation piece. The car has been to several car shows and
has won trophies for crowd favorites. (The trophies will go with the car to the
new owner). I am selling it because I am concentrating on fixing up an old 96
RV. I hate to see this car just sitting there. It needs a new owner
who will give it the love that it deserves. The actual mileage on the car is
107739. It is a five digit odometer, so it has turned once.
The car is for sale
locally and I reserve the right to end this auction early if it sells. $500 deposit via PayPal and the remainder in cash or certified check. I
will not sign the title over to the new owner nor will the Gremlin be taken
away from my home until all funds clear. Additionally, I will not
sell it with an open title. Once the Gremlin is paid for, I will write
the name of the new owner on the title transfer. The Gremlin is sold as
is and where is with no express or implied guarantee or warranty. I have
tried to describe it to the best of my ability. If you have any
questions, please ask. I will answer them promptly. Arranging and
paying for shipping is the sole responsibility of the winning bidder. I
cannot ship nor deliver the Gremlin. I will gladly be available to assist
your shipping company when they come to pick it up.
