Ford Pinto Vs. AMC Gremlin, Which is Better?

Reed — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:21:58 +0000

For those of you that remember, the Ford Pinto was one of the main competitors against the AMC Gremlin, enough so that AMC made a comparison commercial.

Why the AMC Gremlin is Better Than a Ford Pinto

Cheaper
6 cylinder over a 4 cylinder in the Pinto
Fold down rear seat
Wide hatch
Gas tank is less likely to explode in a rear end collision
Will be widely collected in the near future

While most of this decision has to do with preference, you will often find in many debates that lines have been drawn and sides have been split. You can't change an AMC enthusiasts mind about the Gremlin, the same goes for Ford lovers.

However, since this is a versus article, one car has to be chosen over the other, which is of course the AMC Gremlin.

Would you expect a site dedicated to the Gremlin to say differently?

Being a classic car, getting ahold of an AMC Gremlin can be quite a load of work. When searching online, here are a couple of places you can look when trying to find a Gremlin.

eBay Motors
You can find both project and restored Gremlins here. The price is fair and often you get what you pay for. As this car continues to gain popularity among collectors you should see more restored Gremlins available for sale on eBay.

Despite contrary belief, eBay is one of the safer places to buy a used car online. Try eBay...

Craigslist
While the Gremlins you may find here are on the bottom end, there are plenty of potential project gremlins available for sale. The downside of using Craigslist is many sellers do not want to ship the car, so you will have to do most of the work.

Try looking in your local area, then state, then however far you are willing to drive and ship. Try Craigslist...

The AMC Forum
You can find mostly project Gremlins for sale here. The users on this forum are AMC car fiends, so most hold onto their restored Gremlins rather than sell them. Try the AMC Forum...

Where Else Can You Look?
Above are three places you can check when looking for this gem of a car. Of course our website, AMC-Gremlin.com, is a great place to start, but not even we can find every Gremlin for sale on this vast internet. We try though, we try

Happy hunting.
