Do not do it user. It's a gutless shitbox.
Michael Turner
pretty stupid
One of the biggest shitboxes of all time, next to the pinto and pacer. Plus its ancient
Parker Richardson
Might be fun, but don't expect to DD it.

Thanks everyone for the input, it really helps, I'm a fucking retard when it comes to cars. I just really want a muscle-ish looking vintage car, something to get the ladies wet, feel me. Is anything before 1985 too ancient? How about a 78 Chevrolet Nova? My budget is $23k.
Jonathan Cox
In pretty good condition, that red body/white stripe combo gets me hard as a diamond

Anything before 1985 will require a good amount of maintenance. I wouldn't recommend DD a car that old if you clueless about cars. If you want a older muscle car maybe an early 90s 3rd gen camaro or foxbody?
Asher Reed
Gremlin was shit-tier when i was NEW
And you wanna buy one that is 40 years old?!
>20K on the odometer
I'd bet honest money that the car was driven to 200K miles and the odometer ticked back to 0K and has been driven another 20K
Or the car was such shit that nobody wanted to drive it
Kevin Collins
>23k
>looking at gremlins and malaise novas
nigger what the fuck you can get a nice a 71 or 68 chevelle for that much. where are you?

>classics require too much maintenance
>get an OBDI TBI shitbox
Have you ever owned or worked on either?
Chase Taylor
Then it should be easy. Get a 10k car and sink the rest into making the car more reliable.
Thomas Morris
clearly you know nothing about carburetors
yeah dog you can get a pretty decent anything for 20k. don't look at turds like a gremlin.
Jackson Cooper
Get an amc eagle instead
Charles Garcia
Get a AMC Javelin

What is it exactly that makes the Gremlin so shit?
Should I just forget about getting a classic car if I don't know shit about it or how to keep up maintenance/have an idea of what needs to be fixed when something goes wrong? I'm just a candy ass that romanticizes these unique looking cars, I'm not a car enthusiast by any means

>What is it exactly that makes the Gremlin so shit
Anything america made in the late 70s was pretty shit
Cameron Hernandez
Buy a civic and shut the fuck up
Brayden Myers
This if anything AMC
>unless XJ or Eagle
Benjamin Taylor
Maybe if you really have your heart set on a old unique car, Perhaps an old honda? Those cars are the reason they came out with the gremlin.
It will still require maintenance, like any old car. But should pretty simple and easy to work on
