I can’t remember the last time I have seen one of these.

Do like except for what look like giant chrome wheels.

I am of the same opinion. But if owner takes meticulous care it otherwise, it’s a concession I will be forced to make

It was in pretty remarkable condition.

While I can’t remember the last time I saw one on the road, I do remember the last time I saw one at all. It was in the small car class of the Demolition Derby in the Cheyenne County fair back in late July.

True. Plus not my car, owner’s taste is what matters.

I’m actually old enough that I used to ride in a friend’s Levis Gremlin. That was a cool car.

It’s certainly a unique vehicle.

I had a friend who had one way back in the day.
I see this Gremlin X with a 390 V8 4-speed fairly regularly at car shows. I’d love to own it, but I bet it’s a handful to drive.
Interesting fact about the “spoiler” - it’s a functional piece, but not for the reason you’d think. It’s intended to direct air downwards across the rear window. My 1986 Colt Turbo had a similar one. They are remarkably efficient at keeping road spray off the rear tires from depositing on the rear window. I had to use my rear wiper very infrequently. After trading the Colt for a 323 GTX that didn’t have the deflector, I had to use the rear wiper a lot more to keep the window clear. The drawback is that it creates rear lift. The Colt was fun (not!) at 160 - 180 km/h — it got really squirrelly in the back.
