Buying a gas-saver: 1974 AMC Gremlin!

Thats it, time to go find a Pinto...

 

Or a Vega.

 

Cool car, always liked the Gremlin...factory "mags," AC, even. I think 30mpg is dreaming tho

 

I've seen a Pinto in the Denver area that someone had done a flame paint job on it except the flames started at the rear and curled along the side of the quarter panel towards the front.

 

Nice.

I'm . Despite all of the crap people talk about Gremlins, I like them. And Pintos, too. I remember my dad's Pinto. He had it until I was like 7 or 8. When he wrecked it, we took the rear dif and built a trailer on it.

 

I'll pass lol. The whole gas tank thing scares me away from them. Will stick with the Citation.

 

Still waiting to drive the Citation, uncle and aunt had to notarize the title and are sending it my way. Should be here in the morning then I can go get the car licensed and insured then go put some miles on it! Top the tank off and see what kind of mileage the old Iron Duke 4 banger can put out.

 

Thank God. I was feverishly searching this thread for some reference to these.

 

Well, got the Citation licensed and insured today! Been driving it around a good bit, like it so far!

 

Put about 100 miles on the car and topped it off, calculated mileage and came out to 24mpg, all city driving! That's not bad at all for what I am used to, Tacoma doesn't even get that on the highway..
