Sold it to my brother for his son to drive. He put about 50K on it and then my brother sold it to my sister for her daughter to drive. The daughter put another 30K on it but then it was stolen. The thief ran it down into a ditch and abandoned it. The insurance company totaled it and paid up.

When I found out I tried to buy it for salvage. Unfortunately it was too late. They sold the seats, that were in perfect condition, for more than the insurance value.

To this day my entire family is still looking for a 1973 Levi Gremlin to buy.
