This…
The AMC Gremlin and Modified Stock Car racing are a match made in 1970s oval track heaven. The Gremlin was small and cheap, with a long hood area covering an engine bay that could accommodate far larger engines than its sub-compact car competition. The Kammback design of the Gremlin was an added bonus, as many…
