Billy, I used to have one of those Gremlin 304's back around '74, in 40 years of working on AMC'S , I only saw 2 others.
It definatly has possibilities.
There was a company that built a run of aftermarket bodies and frames out of aluminum. I think they came out of Russia, A local guy bought 2 of them for a pretty decent price. He has one done with a 427 and drives the crap out of it.
Now since IHRA allows us to use fiberglass instead of the lightweight parts maybe they would allow a fiberglass cobra? Hmmmm
