frenchie's new toy

frenchie · 07-12-2011, 09:26 PM

I am new to the forum, my name is Steve Lecours out of Whitby, Ontario, division 1 chassis inspector, long term NHRA employee dating back to 1974.
Just wanted to share with all my friends my latest aquisition - The Gremlin X, stored since 1977 and purchased 3 weeks ago from the original owner.

Thats very cool. Thanks for sharing. Where was it stored in the guys living room? Too clean to have been in a shed or garage.

Brings a tear to my eye.My first gremlin,a 1973 with a 304 V-8,auto ,P/S,P/B,A/C in pewter silver,made in Brompton Ontario.I know where the car is now,after I owned it for 25 years.It's sort of still restorable.If I got the cash I'd like to buy it and do it back to original.A lot of good memories of that car.
Good luck and enjoy the car.

Hi Jack, I am having fun, did a good burnout the other night with my wife in the car, she could not believe it.
I will be at Epping on Thursday, see you there.
