$22,990. Funny, I don't remember the front grille and headlights being that ugly on the Gremlin. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Other-Makes...3b17bc95:g:9G0AAOSw5ZBWQLgs&item=331703893141
$22,990. Funny,-----> that's a lot of ugly. I remember a guy at work bought one new. He had the fuel cap stolen so many times he'd back in against the chain link fence near where we worked. Some one still stole the fuel caps! The only part that looked nice on them!
Yeah, but they still can fit a V8 under the hood, let alone a straight-six. I just realized--the "Fleming's Ultimate Garage" initials are FUG...you just need the "ly."
We called them GRIMACES, simply because passersby would make @$$face when they saw them. Truly, this car proves that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, when it has a face only a mother could love. BTW, Spoiler Alert: in the beginning of the Movie "Gremlins," when Hoyt Axton walks by the broken-down car with its hood up, that car was a Gremlin!
The reason you didn't remember the front being that ugly is because originally, the bumper was chrome and the plastic front was silver. Monochrome paint makes the grille and headlights stick out more. Kinda looks like an early 60's Rambler that way though.
I hate that evil demon on those gas caps. I was working pumping gas when those cars were new and they would not take gas, even on the lowest nozzle hold setting the gas would back up and click the nozzle off every few seconds . You had to stand there and nurse the fuel into them, wasted time when you had three or four other cars going at the same time and had to check the oil, battery water, and wash the windshields on all of them .
