Hey Mr. Paul,
How's that little ugly mopar running? I see Ms. Angela is always up there in the top qualifiers with her little Valiant....! I'm building a 65 2 dr sedan V100 for next year...It should be a sneaky quick little package. Sorry, didn't mean to jack the thread...You rule Mr. Ed. The only thing that would be cooler than the gremlin would be a pacer or matador. Didn't they make a Hornet, too?

Thank you.They do make both but I've raced two gremlins for a total of 33 years.They grow on you.There is a pacer in stock out of Vancouver Canada.Jim Mantle owns and drives it.Same engine combo but the pacer is heavier than a gremlin so he runs V/SA.And he's plenty quick against his index.

Ed, you got any pics of that pacer?

I think Drag Race Central might have one in their archives.

Jim Mantle is one smart dude! And a heck of a nice guy. He and Ralph Peak have run AMC stuff for a looooong time! I have my eye on a 68 Javelin SST that I might just have to pick his brain about for a Stocker.

I'll bet that little round thing will fly...Bet it's hell to run down..Has anyone ever ran the gremlin they made with the V8 in it...Bet it flys..Odd cars make racing interesting. Anyone can have a Camaro or Mustang or Nova. They are like Eggs...No matter how you cook them : They are still unborn chickens.

That's one I've never heard before.:>):>):>)

You know Ed, that car is pretty to a certain segment of the community. However, that being said, I ain't saying anything else. It needs to be factored of course. It's not a 69 Camaro, so it needs hp.
