As it just so happens it was either the gremlin or the Pacer that was the fastest production car in one year of american-made cars that is. I imagine this gremlin with a 401 was pretty stout for its time. I remember there was two guys from the Air Force and altus Oklahoma used to come to Frederick and tinker around with their cars and race while they were there. Craig fromman's buddy spent 3 months trying to get his gremlin ready to outrun me. That's what I had my 67 Plymouth Belvedere. I ate his ass up. He was so mad he went out and sold the car. After the race he got in that car and drove 45 minutes all the way back to altus just to start drinking he was pissed! Those were the good old street racing days. If you put a good camshaft, a good set of flowing heads, a good exhaust and a good differential those cars would have been a beast.
