A Gremlin. Definitely a Gremlin.

Heater core in a 1978-1988 GM G-body. Heater core replacement can be done in about 45 minutes start to finish if you’re motivated.
I see a Crown Victoria met its fate, so I wouldn’t say it was completely without fatalities...
If they were *absolutely essential* to getting the job done, I’m certain that shoes would be available.
Any GM product that has been lifted, had stupid-ass big wheels installed and subjected to a “candy” paint job, along with ridiculous upholstery and some silly loud sound system.
AMC Gremlin. Just because.
Not really a loss. No serious damage done to the car from what I can see. Didn’t even pop the airbags. This one will make a detour through the body shop for a new front fascia and some touch up paint and will be back on sale in no time.
I like these cars. I had several family members that had either Granadas or Monarchs (none was swanky enough to swing a Versailles). I always loved the way they looked, and I didn’t mind the way they ran and drove. I think my biggest complaint with these cars is the definitive lack of any instrumentation aside from…
No horror story I can recall. I took driver’s ed in 1988. We had a classroom full of the driving simulators that were put together from the mid-70s GM/Chevrolet parts bin (brake pedal, speedo, steering wheel, accelerator, and numerous other bits were right off a ‘76 Caprice) and our actual driver ed car was a rather…
I always did like the styling on these. Yes, I know I’m weird.
About 4 years ago I started a new job, and needed something more economical than my 2001 V8 Grand Cherokee 4x4 to get me through a @70 mile round trip per day. My solution? I bought a 1988 Olds Delta 88 coupe for $1800 and proceeded to drive. About 6 months after purchase the trans had a failure (still under warranty…
My 05 330i ZHP has the Alcantara interior option. It looks nice, but what a pain to keep clean.
Just don’t let it go out of warranty. These cars SUCK when they’re out of warranty.
I like the use of the concrete barriers to support the big stuff...good idea!
Sure. I love these little cars. I’d want a Ghia coupe with the 302 engine. Don’t really care for the sunroof/moonroof option, but the car is awesome.
Just no. This would have been much more interesting if it were the original 6 cylinder with a three on the tree.
I’m really glad you brought up that barefoot driving isn’t illegal. It has literally been years since I’ve driven with shoes on and I get so tired of people bringing up that ignorant old chestnut. Just FYI, it’s also not illegal to be barefoot in general—no health laws or otherwise. Individual establishments may have…
I still own my high school car: 1980 Olds Cutlass LS. My 25th class reunion is in June this year. Sadly the Cutlass is inop right now, but I will be driving my daily car, a 1988 Delta 88 coupe.
Some of the cars had an electric gate, most had a manual gate. They *all* had a power rear glass.
For those who remain interested, my friend the owner of this Eagle sold it on eBay for over $4300.
