Question: A tiny car like the Gremlin with a 304 V-8? I find those times really >hard to believe. Maybe they loaded those statistics by matching the >smallest engines available?

Answer: Overall length on a 72 Gremlin was 161 inches. A mid 80’s Mustang was 181 inches. Not that much difference and those came with 5.0’s all day long. I think we just remember them as tiny because everything else back then was so HUGE.
