Comments:

The Open Fire is stretched version of the AMC Gremlin. As a single year release, it is an uncommon casting in any color.



AMC Gremlin

Although looking quite sedate in the economy model, the Gremlin was frequently souped up as AMC's answer to the "muscle car".



Open Fire Lycoming Engine

Mattel souped this one up with a 12 cylinder Lycoming aircraft engine yielding over 1000 HP! No wonder it needed extra wheels.




Open Fire in Magenta

The common colors are all about the same in terms of rarity. The three uncommon colors are very hard to find.
The casting is prone to toning and spidering, making pristine examples even harder to find.
