FOUND A GREMLIN!
Yup, not an "electrical" Gremlin, or a "mechanical" Gremlin. A "real" Gremlin, as in AMC Gremlin! I was out driving around in the Sexalier with my buddy "Freddy Bones," AKA "Freddy Mope," AKA "Freddy Big Pants," AKA "Freddy Droopy Drawers," AKA "Homeless Freddy," etc, when out of the corner of my eye I spotted what looked like a Gremlin next to a gas station. I pulled in, and sho' nuff, there was a red Gremmy parked there! It had a faded "For Sale" sign in the window, but no number, and the gas station was closed. The car looked to be in decent shape, so I'm gonna stop by there next week and get the skinny. Maybe I'll be adding another AMC to my fleet!

My neighbor used to have a light green one many years ago. I don't really remember what they did with it. All I know is that it was replaced by a grand prix.

Green was a popular color for AMCs. My first AMC was a green Hornet.

Sounds like the same one. Right on the outskirts of Manville.
