Re: [gremlintime] 1970 two passanger Gremlin - ready to ruin -

Hal,

I have to agree with you. Pop on to Yahoo used cars ... punch in any Honda 
and keep scrolling untill you see what you get for 1,250 bucks. What people are 
telling me is that my 1970 is worth the equivilant to a rusted out Honda with 
140,000 plus miles on it.

I find this hard to believe coming from the same people who are expounding 
that AMC's were the best cars on earth. Not ever selling my car before, I 
realize that I have to break through the emotional aspect without expecting someone 
to pay me for my sentimental value. But when the suggestion is made to sell @ 
the $ 800 level, it generates a lot of questions in my mind. 

I made the comment on another posting. I can see why people run out and drop 
other parts such as Chevy engines and other stuff into their AMC's. When the 
bottom line is that you are going to get peanuts for them, bolt on or in 
anything you want. Why would I want to perpetuate "purest" attitudes at my expense. 


So, anyone want to comment. Are Gremlins and other AMC's equivilant in value 
to say a 1984 rusted out Honda, a mid grade new mattress, a new push mower or 
bar- B- Q grille.


Just a thought.
