Due to its small size, rear drive and V8 option, I'm thinking it was the last car to replicate something like a flathead powered T bucket or '32 Highboy. Gremlin had a stronger body than Vega or Pinto. Better build up potential as a small hi performance car, and quite good looking before the 1973/74 impact bumpers came.

What about Darts and dusters made up to 76, the drag strips are littered with them.

Not wishing to cause offence to Pacer enthusiasts, but judging by that grass the local dog population have expressed their opinion wink
