AMC Gremlin

It's a good thing I'm not stupidstitious, or I'd shopping for an exorcist or witch doctor. I swear every time I fix something on my old Vette, something else goes wrong. Like all I'm doing is chasing a gremlin from one part of the car to another.Cleaning up some problems with the drive train, I installed four new universal joints, two new camber rods, a host of rubber goodies, changed the differential oil and double checked the brakes while I...  

A remake of the grooviest, 60's cult TV show of all time as a mini series starring Ian McKellen? This could be amazing or a total trainwreck. Which one is it though? Watch the sneak peek preview above (and more videos HERE) and judge for yourself....Online:The Prisoner - AMC TV microsite | twitter  

Remember the Fiat Brava? Those lucky enough to be at the Yeehaw It's Texas 24 Hours Of LeMons will get to see a Brava take on a Karmann-Ghia, an AMC Gremlin, and a VW Fastback! That's right, in addition to the Little Buckaroo Baja Bug, Frogmasters MGB-GT, and the 'No Fat Shiksas' Team Israel Opel GT that we've seen at previous LeMons Texas races, we'll have Team ROADKILL in an armadillo-fied Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback, Mostly Harmless Racing...  

I usually try to maintain some degree of mystery on what the eBay Prop-Watch pick is until AFTER the break, but today's item is too cool not to rave over from the offing. "Gremlins" is a classic. Comedy/horror at its best. Director Joe Dante has been pretty quiet since 1998's "Small Soldiers" -- a highly [...]  

Chrysler bought what was left of AMC in 1987, it's a little sad to see this woodgrain-bedecked Pre Cupholder Era SUV from 1986- back when SUVs were honest about their truckness- about to be crushed. Yes, they were still putting on that 60s-style SimuWood™ plastic siding on Jeeps as late as Reagan's second term; note the plastic "dowels" and decal inserts. Enough time has passed that this stuff is now cool! This truck is also notable for its...  

New evidence was discovered today of the Refrigerator Gremlin.Around mid-morning, Eliot, my live-in male companion (also, my pet cat), was peering underneath the refrigerator as if he were stalking something. As I've mentioned here before, he doesn't show any late-night interest in the racket coming from beneath the fridge, so I thought this was significant. I pulled the refrigerator out from its cabinet to let him pursue his prey.He ran...  

While AMC was still independent it pretty much used Jeep as a cash machine rather than reinvesting much in the brand. That's particularly apparent with the (Grand) Wagoneer, which didn't receive any sheetmetal updating during its entire run. #wagoneer DrLemming
