1972 Gremlin 401 Transplant almost done.
I am getting close to finishing this little Gem. Installed the Control Geek front K member with coil overs and disc brakes. Had to do a lot of little modifying not a direct replacement but will be well worth it. Has to be a great improvement over the original front suspension . Cannot wait to drive it before the snow flies. Here are some statistics. Original low mile San Francisco area car. It was ordered as a plain jane 304 V8, auto with A/C. It is not a Gremlin "X". Light Green Metallic with Tan interior. Was all Stock and original. Now a custom show car. It has won the Detroit Autorama 2 times. Once in 2002 and in 2005 in it's class. A hard thing to win once let alone twice. Has a Booth and Aarons custom built 401. Custom built 904 Trans with a 8 inch converter. Custom built Dana 44 with all new axles and posi in it. 4.10 gear. Custom traction bars. Looks stock. This car hooked hard and straight. It went 11:60's. But drifted all over the place. Not no more when it gets finished. This car will be a riot once again but better. There is a ton of money in this little gem. Lots of NOS trim and parts . Original interior in great shape. Hope you guys like different cars like I do.
