Because of the Gremlin&#8217;s unusual shape and truncated rear end, folks scoffed and sarcastically asked &#8220;Where&#8217;s the rest of the car?&#8221; Well, AMC had the last laugh as Consumer Reports magazine tested the Gremlin against the Vega and Pinto, and rated it better than both the latter two. The Gremlin has become not only an American icon, but a cult classic as well. Originally available with only the 232c.i. six, it later became available with AMC&#8217;s 304c.i. V8 in the &#8220;X&#8221; package along with a &#8220;Levi&#8217;s&#8221; package with simulated denim interior. This kit represents the &#8220;X&#8221; Levi&#8217;s edition, and can be built either stock or drag.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>For the Modeler:<\/b> I knew this was a re-pop of 38-year old tooling, so be prepared for fit and finish issues.
