Gremlins share numerous parts and components with other AMC models especially service and mechanical replacements are available. There are reproduction parts, but trim pieces for a restoration such as the grille can be more difficult. The Gremlin's original low price and throwaway nature makes good ones fairly scarce today. Many were chopped up during the late 1970s and the 1980s to make dirt-track racers. The body of choice on the dirt circuit was the Gremlin and AMC Eagle. The subcompact bodies fit Modified chassis and of special interest was the Gremlin's slab top and sides with a contour that was easy to duplicate in sheet metal.
