Early 70's groove....Gremlin and Winnebago

Could be good for a Challenge team...some assembly required.

For some stupid reason I still want a Mini Winnie. At least that one appears to be running (when the pic was taken).

Hmmm...no google results for 13b swap in Gremlin.

someone has to be first....

Wait, what? Swap IN a rotary???

Wasn't the Gremlin designed for the rotary? Or was that the Pacer? Or am I making E36 M3 up?

It it was the Vega, I wonder if a Wankle would have made that car better or worse? One way or the other GM realized the world wasn't big enough for two rotary manufacturers.

I'm not going to lie. I like me some green Gremlin.

Why do I like those old Winnebagos now? Oh yeah, because I hang out here. Thanks guys.

No title for the Gremlin. PASS

Did you contact them?

The Pacer was supposed to get the rotary from GM, as was the '74 Vega. By the time GM cancelled their rotary project the Pacer was pretty far along in development so AMC brought the car to market without that engine.

Yeah, I have no idea why the Winnie is uber-cool, maybe it's because I had the Tonka version as a kid. To me, it screams early-mid 70's southern fried dirt track racing.

Combine the two, add the big shot nitrous kit from my storage, build for challenge in early 70's southern dirt track style?

That actually sounds pretty bad ass now that im typing. Thank god I'm broke and not divorced.

That's what people used to do to stuff.

Thumbs up for the Gremmie. It deserves an AMC 401 or 360 though.

That mini winni is awesome!!!!
