That little car was indestructible.
Trust me, I tried.
From muddy river bottoms to raging snow and ice storms, it just kept going.
With 232K on the odo, *after* it stopped working, many months before, my stupid ex traded it in on a VW Rabbit and they hauled the Gremlin to Eddie’s Salvage in WV.
Two weeks later, my mother saw it tearing down I81 S in WV, a teenage by at the wheel.
For all I know, it’s still out there, somewhere.
Many years later, I had an AMC Eagle, which was basically a 4WD Gremlin.
Also invincible.
:)
Damn, my dad was an AMC fanatice too. I had a gremlin, we had an eagle, a hornet.
