Did anyone have any firsthand experience with these 401 XR Gremlins back when they were new?

Seems like they were a hot little car for the money.

Way cool cars we've discussed in a few past threads here.
Is there one in the Brother's collection also another/same car at MCAN a few years back?:hmmm:

Have a work friend that went to Arizona out of high school to work on a ranch. With no other expenses to worry about he purchased one of these New ( Red w/white stripes ) when he first got there. He said it was a handful and didn’t handle well with all the front weight and didn’t run well on the street with AZ heat. Traded it within a year for a Mark Donahue Javelin a dealer had and couldn’t get rid of. He probably wishes he still had both!!
