The gremlin x isn't your typical gremlin. Look up the x trim line
Jacob Davis would be happy
Please do a coyote swap gremlin or atleast a 351.
What a find. I'm a fellow Iowan, live about a half hour north of ya. About 20 years ago I had a neighbor give me a 1970 Amc Hornet that had been in their machine shed since the 80s. I messed around with it off and on over a few weeks and got it running and driving, it's been a fair weather cruiser for me ever since. it's almost the same green exterior color with red and green plaid interior. It has the smaller 232 inline 6 and a 4 speed. It's not a fast car, it's not a "cool" car, but pretty much everytime I drive it anywhere a random old timer will wonder over and tell me about how they haven't seen an Amc in decades and ask me all about it, people still seem to have a sweet spot in their hearts for them.
Okoboji Ia over here
hornets are cool

Yeah, my mother had a green Hornet. It wouldn’t go into 3rd. So she’d get that thing screaming in 2nd, straight to 4th. What a treat it was to get dropped off at school! No wonder I wasn’t popular! Hahahaha
These cars were faster than you think . I could squawk the tires in three gears .
I really like how Kevin rolls right up to the sidewalk by the store and dumps antifreeze all over the place then goes inside and buys an ice cream. Classy...
A splash of coolant on the sidewalk is a far cry from the half eaten chicken and shit filled diapers that are rountinely left in a casey's parking lot. Calm down there.
"I have come here to spill antifreeze and eat ice cream... and I'm all out of antifreeze."
Taking your car out for her maiden voyage after you've spent months buying parts, waiting for shipping, using every weekend to wrench on her. And then, she finally fires up. There's no other feeling like it. When I finally fired up my 69' Datsun 510, I drove it to Little Caesars and ordered a pepperoni pizza. Ate the whole thing right there in the parking lot with the biggest grin on my face. Miss that car.
@@michaelramsey82 holy shit 😂😂😂😂
When I was going to Penn Tech in Williamsport (middle of nowhere), we pulled up to this little store and we had all these oily rags we didn't know what to do with, so my dad told me to distract the guy while he shoved them in their trashcan. Then we bought ice cream, drove away, and overheated 3 miles away.
I
I have a 72 waiting for the engine to be put together and re-installed. Factory air, my grandparents purchased it brand new off the lot in 72. Watching this definitely gives me a reason to get the work done.
Wow. This is the first time I saw this channel. I was attracted because a coworker of mine waaaay back in high school drove a gremlin. His was a ‘semi automatic’ but the color green no matter what! I don’t know ANYTHING about cars, and I am still astonished that it would even start let alone run. I am inspired to learn more about vehicles. Especially those from our past. If this old Gremlin could work after decades of neglect, then it proves that anything is possible with a little know how ✌️❤️🔥
PS. Another title to this video could be…’A Gremlin Resurrected’.
semi automatic or automatic? semi auto means that it is automatic but has a function to allow it to switch to manual mode, like what some newer cars have. for example a 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports is a automatic, but I can move the stick into manual mode and then I can use the shifter levers on the steering wheel and shift manually. but a automatic just has one lever that has a P for park, N for natural, D for drive, a D1 and D2, and sometimes a D3, and an R for reverse. I don't think we had automatic/manual (semi automatic) cars back then.
I miss sick factory stripes like this. The paint job is awesome.
Plus the rally rims....
Very Starsky and Hutch
Literally though. This is why I love old cars and junk digs so much, and why I want to do stuff like this when I get the chance.
I think only came in 3 colors a green a purple and a gold
@@straggler940 yellow also
This summers gonna be fun with this channel.❤
Absolutely. I'm planning to get a Volga. It will be more fun
I'm gonna crumb 🤤
Sick Car Bro Bro
@@antibanplay your going to import one?
The color and design of the AMC is very nice and rare. You will not find any other cars like that on the road. You are lucky to have a nice body car like that
Thank you! This video made me miss my first car: 1976 AMC Gremlin. I drove the wheels off that car. Truly a car I could work on. I replaced the brakes, water pump, radiator among other minor fixes. Lots of room in the engine bay. What a car!
Grandma used to sport a green Hornet, true grandma car.
Can’t wait to watch all of this. We’re actually recovering a 1967 AMC rebel SST next week, so this is pretty damn cool.
UPDATE: Guy who has the car won’t be able to see us for a month, so I’m going to try to push out the first video in the next week. Stay tuned!
I think I'm your 10th subscriber I'll gladly watch a video about that rebel sst. 🤣🤣
I look forward to the video
26th sun better see it soon lol 😅
You gained a subscriber. Hope to see some good car content.
I almost got my hands on a amc marlin. But the owner wouldn't sell
The bit at 40:15 when you start walking back from picking up the wrench and the sight of the car sitting on its own in the environment from a distance hits you is SO wholesome, I love that feeling
Amen, brother!
As a huge hot wheels collector of gremlins, this video was absolutely fantastic!! Thank you! Safe travels!!!
I've heard many people complain about AMC cars, but I absolutely loved the Pacer!
Thats a first!
A buddy of mine had a Pacer in HS. One time, he, another friend, and I were riding around doing nothing but causing trouble. Back in the day, they sold these soda bottles that were around 12 oz. and were glass with this plastic thin foam type stuff on it that went around the bottom. You could carefully pull the foam down below the bottle, creating a 2-3" air pocket. Then, if you hit it right, it would make a loud popping noise. So my buddy in the front seat had done a bottle just right and we drove right by these two dudes walking on the sidewalk. My friend "pops" that bottle and it was perfect -- sounded just like a gunshot blast and those two guys hit the ground! We kept driving. I don't know if they ever figured out it was us, but if so, I'm sure they were pissed! Just a small sample of the trouble we got into in that car.
How did you know that we would ever need an hour long video? 😲 I'm impressed with how well these run on startup!
These X models were race track ready straight off the show Room floor
@@FriendlyRider88 Fitted with top of the line drums and leaf springs
I thought a Gremlin X would have been a 304 V8.
@@mark8lifestyle322 I also thought that the Gremlin X was a V8 from the factory. I actually went straight to the comments to say so.
@@mark8lifestyle322 The 304 V8 was an option and the large 258 (4.2 Litre on rear deck) was standard. (There were two smaller versions of this engine (3 if you count the 4.0 Jeep) and those are the 199 and 232.) However, I am surprised this car does not have the 4 gauge pod beneath the middle of the dash or the gated floor shifter as those are found on all the Gremlin X cars I have seen. It also has the wrong wheels but the right size tires, center caps and trim rings.
Cool fact, my grandfather was a foreman in one of the Pittsburg, Pennsylvania steel mills that made the metal for AMC. It's very likely my grandfather passed off the steel this car was made out of.
What an incredible find. Couldn't believe it when you had it idling nicely after sitting for so long.
OMG!! I actually owned one of these in college back in 83, and it was the very same color. Was a blast to drive, and the back end served as a great place to throw your empties on those cruising nights.
I worked at a Pontiac/AMC dealership back in the 70's. Those engines were pretty good. The only thing I saw was hi-oil consumption due to bad valve stem seals. I replaced a TON of them. I owned a Hornet Wagon, which is pretty much the same car, just longer. As simple and reliable as a 16 oz Stanley Claw Hammer.
My friend's parents had a Hornet too. That thing was a tank and only died when the rust ate it all up! (Ohio roads are salted like it is going out of style)
I noticed over the years that of all the cars out there, AMC cars seem to never rust or very little rust. They must have either used a good quality steel or had a great undercoat on them.
Dude that Gremlin is AWESOME. I'd love to see more of it!!!
Oddly enough, I'm a big fan of gremlins and pacers. They came in some great colors.
From Cedar Falls but live in Mississippi and have a good chunk of my life. I enjoy watching you guys drive back home through Iowa aboit as much as I do watching you work on the cars. Always reminds me of driving home to visit family. Coming up from Missouri through Keokuk and everything was my path. Keep it up ya'll!
Ive been watching your videos for many years now and they are consistantly very good , I'm never disappointed , respect to you both of you
This one hurts my heart. My grandpa had an old AMC Gremlin, and he loved that thing. After he passed, my grandma sold it and the family talks about it often. It was nothing special, far from perfect. He used sheet metal and pop rivets to patch all the rust holes, so it was all faded yellow and aluminum paneling. Lots of memories growing up riding in that car. Thanks for the memories.
I bought a new '72 and a '74 Gremlin and they were great cars, both with the 258 motor, Chrysler Torqueflite auto trans, A/C, P/S and P/B. Think I paid 1900 for the new 72 and 2200 for the '74. Excellent, dependable and inexpensive cars for my young family. You see these "worst car" lists and they will usually have a Gremlin. Problem there is, the dudes compiling these lists are morons who never owned any of the cars they are trashing especially the Gremlins.
@@Chisos1 His ran like a clock. Started up just fine in the dead of winter. I was too young to really know a lot about cars so I have no idea what engine or options it had. Every american car from that era had rust issues, and yea, they could have gone with higher quality materials but that would have driven up the cost.
@@Chisos1 Amc,s were far better cars than most people knew.I had a73 amx javelin ,brother had a gremlin and a hornet with a 304.All very good cars.The gremlin had good ac that always worked very good.
About the same memories for me. Lot of childhood memories riding with grandpa/grandma. I believe it was a stick shift.
This takes me back.took 5 kids camping.check the floor in back probably roted.had one for 4 years.good luck with restoration😅
You know summer time is here when Kevin and mook are doing some badass revivals
You're not the only one that loves a gremmie way more than you'd expect. Theyre pretty cool little cars. Shockingly, shockingly heavy. Like 3800lbs. But very cool.
I bought one of those when they first came out. It was not a bad car. It rode nice, got very good gas mileage, it was pretty quick. If I remember correctly it had a 20-gallon tank gas tank.
So surprised you got it running so quick. Love this little AMC. Remember these when i was a kid.
WOKE UP FEELING anxious really low but there's certain channels that cheer me up and to see ive got a whole hour of Kev to take my mind off things is a real relief
Yep..
Amen
hang in there things will get better!
A little corny with the jokes but I enjoy watching
My first NEW CAR in 1976 was a Gremlin. Didn't take long for me to put a set of Hooker headers, dual exhaust with cutouts, three duces and an Edelbrock intake on it. 50's on the rear, 60's on the front. It was a mean, green, screaming machine! Miss my old ride, just watching this video!
I would love to see an actual engine build series on your channel.
Going into detail on the process like Freiburger and Dulcich did a number of years ago on MT+.
It was a great series but not the easiest to find on there and I think watching you do the same thing would be absolutely spectacular!
it's crazy and amazing how you start watching a bunch of separate people on youtube and then they all start interacting and making videos with eachother.
I agree. We just have great taste in video watching! Have a good evening fellow connoisseur. Cheers.
Like one day here i'm gonna see a Diesel Creek + Brandon Hererra + Junkyard digs(or mix and match as you'd like) collab video and it's going to be amazing.
Gremlins are awesome, please, if you can, keep any and all gremlin content coming. There’s not much footage on these cars and I think they are super underrated and overlooked. Super quirky and super cool. Best content in my opinion is the weird stuff just like this
And unless V8'd, they can still be daily driven without prohibitive gas bills, especially with Thunderhead289 around. As for tires, the easy way is to get wheel/tire sets from junkyards that only need to bolt up and not hit the body, regardless of rim diameter.
Ozone generators can also get rid of residual mouse stink without total interior replacement, maybe even saving an original carpet or seat.
I would get the ice cream and pizza before adding water to the radiator.
I purchased a 68 wagoneer from Iowa a year and a half ago. It had sat for 28 years. My dad and I got it running within a week. Always love the feeling.
Brings back memories! I bought a 1974 Gremlin X brand new in 1974 and loved it! Mine had the 232 engine with 3-speed stick, and it was pretty snappy. It always ran well, but rusted out from under me by 1978 0r 79. One of my most vivid memories of that car was when, on a sub-zero day here un upstate NY, my wife and went to a store in a town about 30 miles north of home. The driver's door had rusted so that I had to lift up on it in order to open or close it, and when I got back in to start for home, I shut the door and the entire drivers side window shattered into tiny pieces, landing right in my lap! the door had rusted right through at the window posts. Cold ride home!
Heck on mine the door fell off it was that rusty around the hinges.
This is great! I used to own a 1973 Gremlin X that had a 301 V-8 with a 3-speed stick in it. Had a factory 350 rear in it. It was a little screamer on the road. Poor gas mileage due to the V-8 and the 350 rear, but FUN to drive. Lots of luck with this beauty.
Had to have been a 304.
@@jaysrandomnesschannel Yes, In fact that is what it was. Thanks!
I love these recovery videos! Its so cool finding something that everybody thinks is lost forever and bring it back to life.
I really enjoyed this video ,
I like how you took a junk car and try to bring it back to life, thanks
The body on that car is in such great shape! I hope there will be more episodes on this one!
Before cranking the engine that was sitting for a long time it's better to take spark plugs out and put some motor oil into cylinders. That will definitely help to save cylinder walls during the very first piston moves and create so called oil compression in the case if piston rings are worn and weak.
Penetrating oil in cylinders for sure
He turned the motor, it was free. Nothing much to it
@@noostNLnot a mechanic are you 😂
It has iron rings it's fine
@@512Squared No I am not. Indeed. But I understand logic and it's perfectly logical what he does with the car. He uses it to shoot a video and does not restore it and doesn't need to take all the care for it. And he turned the motor and it was free enough, so yeah.
LOVE that car! I'm 59 and wish my buddy Carey would have kept his Gremlin for 36 years. Those were the days, swimming at the quarry and drinking Little Kings in the Gremlin on the way home in Toledo. ... Good times!
Awesome video. You done a great job. I'd love to own this car fully restored.
I really enjoyed this video! Never owned a Gremlin, had a friend with a Pacer. but I would love to see this little gem restored some and it would be great to see the progress. Thanks Kevin, thanks Mook!
The Gremlin was the prototype Mirth Mobile. My sister had one. It was a piece of crap to drive. But then, at the time I was driving a '66 GTO.
Yeah I really would love this thing all fixed up with a new interior and the lingering problems sorted out
Pul dash back or remove, heatercore may have rats near on top. When the heat on the smell is mind boggling horrific! Lucky for you this Gremlin has power steering!
A guy I worked with back in 77 had a Gremlin !! Huge boots on the back and it went pretty good !!
I remember having to change the head gasket of my brothers 74 Gremlin that was black on green in the middle of winter when I was 18. Darn the memories of the pain I went through Michigan winter and snowing but I do remember having a blast spending time with my brother back then. 31 year old memories gave me a nice smile. Great video.
I was in Chicago when I had mine. Did you put cardboard in front of the radiator for heat like I did?
I was in High School when the Gremlin first came out and took one for a test drive. It was a 3 on the floor and had a dealer installed(?) fabric sunroof like the older VWs did. I loved it but being the broke ass kid that I was...it wasn't to be had. This one is definitely a keeper and I'm looking forward to more videos. from the both of you. You are both so positive and have great sense of humor. I also have an Iowa connection. I was born in Clarinda down in the SW corner of the state and still have relatives scattered around there. I used to spend my summers at my Grandma's as a kid and loved the small town atmosphere. Keep the videos coming and I'll be watching.
Wow! Memories! I had a '72 with a 3 speed that someone GAVE me. It was a big hunk of rust, but it ran like crazy! 😊
When I look at the time for the vid and if it's over 40 minutes I celebrate
Look at me im famous
Same here 🎉
I feel the same. I watch each episode when they come out and again with my 70 year old dad. He loves the channel also.
Let the celebrations 🎉 begin !!
Love it!
I see it and than it pan and plan the rest of my day around it.
In a few weeks I’m going to be visiting a 1959 Canadian GMC with a 235 and trying to get it going. I forgot about the boat tank for fuel, that’s a great idea and that’s what I’m going to get. One exhaust valve is stuck but it did spin over.
Love the video brings back memories I had the AMC Eagle bought out of the showcase had the switch in the car to put it in 4 wheel drive loved it 4 of the 9 kids drove awesome job thank you 😊
This episode brought back memories. Way back when I owned a used Gremlin that ran great after a little work. On the way back from Montreal to Long Island, I heard the distinctive sound of a belt being thrown. Since my steering was fine, I knew it was the fanbelt. I pulled over to make sure the belt was clear and wouldn't take out anything else. The water pump was seized. I had a good 10 miles to the next exit, so I started driving. I quickly realized the temp stayed normal if I maintained 60 mph. Since it was late at night with little traffic, I just kept going. No problem doing the last 200 miles.
This is a true 1974 Barn Find Survivor! Never knew I needed Gremlin X content in my life, but it's such a kool looking car! We all need to see content on this monthly, if not weekly. Great find Kevin and Mook!
I love when you guys do cars like this, the oddities. I'd honestly love to see you guys go back to the farm where you got the S10 and the GMC 1500 from and work on the Buicks. Those 3800s are indestructible and have a semi following now, especially the forward hooded one. I'm working on a Celebrity myself and they're classic GM, will run forever, the rest just comes off over time.
They're not allowed back there.
@@deadon4847 spill the beans...
@@BariLopesh After the video some idiots went on to the property nosing around and harassed the family about the vehicles and they told Kevin & crew not to come back.
@@deadon4847 aww mannnnn. Some jackwagon had to ruin it for everyone else because they can't practice proper etiquette!!
@@deadon4847 It is the unfortunate truth
Great husband and wife Team. Love the show Thanks. 😊
I had a 1971 and I put Firebird frount springs And added an extra leaf spring on the rear and that was a large improvement. Those cars are amazing. I would love to have it
I'm currently in the Air Force, and that sticker you have on the back glass is from my career field, Munitions "Ammo." Noticed it when you first walked to the back of the car at the beginning of the video, really cool.
Those old Inline AMC motors are such good engines its sad to see so few on the road anymore best jeep engine ever made
Power washing a car that's been sitting that long has got to be super satisfying! Love your and Mook's videos! Thanks!
Had a '74 Gremlin and loved that car! It was my first new car I owned.
Whenever I take my Yugo to our local orileys or any gas station I always get people coming up to me lol. The 9 hour drive home from where I bought it in TN in 2019 was filled with thumbs up from truckers.
I used to hate those cars but they've grown on me. Can't wait to see more on it!
Haha me too!
My grandfather used to say it might be ugly but it will win the race...
Later, he took me to a race event and I'll be doggone that thing a gremlin took 2nd place only next to a stock 318 charger on an endurance race!
Good times! :)
Love it! U can tell what it is by silhouette only.
Underappreciated
You are gonna love new shocks. I had a blue one of those. Great hill climber. Works great off road. My car was fast, nimble and a sleeper. She's a keeper.
I'd love to see a full revival of this car!
I really appreciate how you apply comprehended textbook knowledge to new situations i.e. the way Mopar transmissions lube. School changes a repairman into an actual mechanic faster than turning wrenches and learning by mistakes.
Really nice Gremlin there! I had a '76 AMC Hornet Sportabout wagon, it had all 4 wheels drum brakes! I was surprised that all 4 wheels had drum brakes in 1976!
You have no idea how furious I am that I'm all caught up on your videos! 😂
My uncle worked at Overland Park AMC/Jeep back in the day and I remember seeing these new on the lot. Always liked the quirkiness of these. looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Kevin....I appreciate you so much for this Video...I have been an AMC Gremlin owner since i was 13years old...My 1st one was a 1973 AMC Gremlin that was given to my by my late grandfather (fully loaded 258 auto car) he bought it off the father of my best friend (he still is my best friend to this day) car had been sitting for a very long time so we pulled the engine/transmission out bought a 93 Dodge 9 passenger van for the drivetrain to go in it...but unfortunately other projects always came before it so she never got finished...& The 2nd one i bought for $900 after saving up my pay checks from my job as a paintball ref...Drove almost 2hrs 1 way to get it...Its a 1970 Base model with a 199 & 3 speed manual... Unfortunately the previous owner had put water in it instead of Antifreeze & the block full of water froze & cracked the head & block....So im currently in the process of starting both projects back up...The 73 is going to be getting the 5.9 with the auto just like pop wanted...BUT...the 70 is going to be getting a K series Honda Engine mated to a world class T5 & used as a daily driver....So with all of that being said....I would absolutely LOVE to add yours to my collection...if you're interested in selling it please let have the honor of looking after such a beautiful gem of American Motors history!!!!
My Great Grandparents settled in Marshalltown Iowa. I grew up on lot of stories on from them living there! My grandpa apparently saved a bunch of people from a steam engine failure on a passenger train and passed away from it. Every time i go through this state, I have such a nostalgic feeling, and wonder if i should just live there myself hahah. love these videos, and love the aesthetic videos you guys are doing, and right out of where you guys are from!
Neat little car... A survivor. I'm 45 and my very first ride in a car was in a Gremlin that my folks had at the time, Up through the 80s they were plentiful then most of them went to rust away or get crushed. This car is nice enough to be worth a new interior and all the other work.
I had a relative who had one of those. That little six ran strong. It had a lot of torque and would accelerate quite nicely. They were a fun car.
WOW< what a great revival. I had a 76 Gremlin and loved it. Man I miss that car. Great job!
Excellent video, I was on the edge of my seat at the end thinking it was going to break down a football throw from your home!
My first car was a '73 w/ 4.2 in mid 80's Loved that car, never let me down. I did however drop a 304, 3- speed in it out of a Levi's edition. Retained original rearend and ate Mustang 5.0's and Nissan 300x's for breakfast light to light. Seeing you revive this gem (not crap car) brought a tear to my eyes.
Thank You so much!!
The gremlin is my absolute dream car. I’m glad to see one in such great shape. Thank you so much junkyard digs for the awesome videos. You guys are awesome.
My brother had one same year, similarly equipped . It was kind of a purple color with gold hockey stripe. It’s surprising to find one that hasn’t self destructed 😂 they were known to do that, my brother’s did 😂😂😂
I had a green '71 Gremlin almost identical to this one in 1973. You have modest dreams.
That ain't Bill Clintons car is it. He had a green Gremlin. Drove it out west after College.
I had a 72 that my grandma gave to me for graduation. Thanks granny. The chicks loved me.
Had an orange 75 in high school.. it saw more action than the dweebs in the 70 Chevelle's! I bought it for 60 bucks off a horse farm. This was 1985
I grew up driving around with my Dad in a purple 73 Gremlin X. This brings back memories!
My buddy had a gremlin. He put black or dark gray Turbo Thrust w heels on it, and it looked awesome! Good luck with your new hot rod!
Yes yes yes yes YESSSSS another AMC and a GREAT choice this time! Love this thing... and we have some reallllly good ideas for this thing once you're done making it home! Think of the fun we could have if we did just a FEW minor upgrades for power and enjoyability... we need to discuss!
OR just sell it to us ;)
Tip for cooling down an overheated engine: don’t open the radiator cap, keep the engine running, then take a coke bottle filled with water and drizzle over the top of the radiator. It will cool down in no time and be a lot less dangerous.
also turn the heat up on full blast to pull it from the engine
Keep the videos coming! I know nothing about cars but love the education brotha!
My first new car was a 1973 Gremlin X with Levi interior. Over the years had several. Miss them.
Years ago Hot Rod Magazine did an article about a Pacer-X that had a 4.0l Fuel injected transplant done. This would be an AWESOME swap to do in the Gremlin.
I think it would be the perfect swap.
There were a bunch of these with 304 V-8s and some people used to swap in 390s or even 401s. A car in this great of shape deserves a power-up. The Torqueflite can handle it!
Don't forget the Roadkill Hemi Gremmi!
And quite a few of them came stock from the factory of huge engines they got pretty good gas mileage to
@@dhag72 that's the car that made me really like AMC Gremlins
Maybe keep it original when it is rare already in its good stock shape?
When others gets swaped just keep this one as it will be valuable
Is this for sale?
That car is freaking awesome.... I'm from Canada, so we're used to so much rust. It's awesome to see one in This condition
I always loved those cars. They were life size hot wheels cars. Glad it found a good home. The original color under the hood looked amazing.
Would love to see more of this gremlin, it looks like such a great/ fun project, great job guys!
A win for AMC 's gremlin. That shot on the road when you got out for the wrench was really cool. The green , a favorite color of mine , and the black wheels was the right look for that car. Get proper tires and leave it alone , well maybe nice redo on interior. Very cool car. ❤👍👍👍✌
Nice car video! Love the classic Gremlins.
Can you put a lawnmower carburetor or vapor carburetor on it, to see how good the mpg can get?
I always get your videos recommended & im into car resto videos but for whatever reason i never watched one...basically im mad that ive been missing out. You are hilarious
i’m not doing so hot and your videos keep me going. keep up the hard work
Hope you are feeling more positive today, Matt.
Me either. Been rehabbing from 8 surgeries since last July in a nursing home. God I want to get out of this place.
My first three cars when I was 16 were Gremlins. I absolutely loved all of them but of course at the time I didn’t appreciate them. I would love to find one again at an affordable price. Love the car buddy. I am definitely envious.
Awesome episode, awesome car, love you and mook just out doing revivals solo! Oh, and if you're going to spew, spew into this!
this is simply the best got dang thing i've ever seen!! holy cow! that was awesome!
Watching Kevin fall in love with the Gremlin the more he drove it was awesome! I had a '75 briefly and loved it, wish I still had it. ☹️
That's a neat little ride. There's something about old school 2-door hatch/coupes that are just plain fun.
I thouth the X model came with only a 5L v8 ,but thats why i love whatching these videos. I learn so much its great!
Gremlins is one of the best ones that AMC produced.
I wish they still made them like this
It's amazing to see you get the Gremlin to its new home running as shakey as it did. Not that there was any doubt you would, one way or another.
I watched Dal'un at PBG do some body work on the 'Silver Dollar' Silverado tonight and there was a teaser referencing the up and coming collaboration for our vtewing pleasure next week. Looking forward to that for sure.
I'm guessing as of this moment you're on your way, so stay safe and have too much fun, it is possible.
Good night all.
Why do we see you do almost the same thing to every old car but it’s just endlessly entertaining! Please don’t ever stop making vids this is what I fall asleep to at night
I watch these and fall asleep during the day.
My parents had a 75 Hornet so this is bringing back memories. The beast is so clean on the outside. I think the ceiling was a hard plastic on ours.
Dang! I was wanting to see it when you fixed up the whole thing inside and out. Still a fun video.
Never thought the day would come when 2 of my favorite UA-camrs would do a collab, ad they’re from 2 completely different worlds. Can’t wait!!
