This AMC Gremlin is one of the most unique Pro Touring rides ever created.
There are some cars which purport to be road cars that can really hold their own on the racetrack, and there are the bonafide badasses.
Guys with thick wallets often get a complete big brake kit from one of the reputable manufacturers, and while this is a sensible route to take, it’s not the only one.
