Looking back on it now in practical terms, this should rate as my least favorite car ever, but because of the time slot it occupied in my life, and the good times I associate with it, it still ranks as my all time favorite.
It was not my first car, but it was the first one I purchased brand new. A 1972 Gremlin X powered by a 304 cid V8 with a 3 on the floor.
I drove this car for a whole summer with no starter motor believe it or not. Always seemed to be able to park on enough of a slope to roll start it, or con somebody into pushing me.
The original colour was purple, but after resurrecting it from a crash, I had it painted black.



As for the colour scheme on the house trim, well, what can I say, it was the 70s after all. We can all look back and say, what the heck were we thinking?
