Topic: AMC Gremlin


  
  The AMC Gremlin - AMC's successful compact car
The AMC Gremlin was introduced on April 1, 1970 as a 1970-1/2 model.
AMC was successful in beating both GM and Ford to the punch with this program, since neither the Chevrolet Vega nor the Ford Pinto were introduced until September, 1970 (as 1971 models).
Gremlin's styling was carried over for 1975, with only a slight change made to the curve of the front bumper (some sources say that the rear wheel arches were more subdued for 1975, but I'll be darned if I can see the difference).

  AMC Gremlin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AMC knew that Ford and General Motors were coming out with subcompact cars for 1971, but did not have the financial resources to respond with an entirely new competing design.
To produce the Gremlin the wheelbase of the Hornet was reduced to 96 in (2743 mm to 2438 mm) and the overall length was reduced from 179 in to 161 in (4547 mm to 4089 mm).
Gremlin designer Richard Teague commented in a Motor Trend article that to compare the Beetle to the Gremlin in profile and body design was like "comparing a Ford GT40 to the Hindenburg".

 Welcome to AMCGremlin.com!
There it was, the little blue Gremlin X. Not knowing if it was sold, or as Dave said “maybe they were embarrassed to have it on their lot”, I took down the phone number and called the next day.
The Gremlin X was selected to be a part of the 2004 Chrysler at Carlisle “Survivor” Show.
Overall the Gremlin got great reviews and of course we can’t forget the few usual AMC bashers (if these individuals knew their automobile history, I think they would be embarrassed by their remarks).

 AMC Gremlin - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
AMC knew that Ford and GM were coming out with subcompact cars in 1971 but didn't have the resources to respond with one of their own.
The resulting Gremlin hit the market six months before Ford and GM were able to introduce their subcompacts.
Although a subcompact based on the wheelbase, the Gremlin was a midsize car from the seatbacks forward and in every other dimension.

 AMC Gremlin collectibles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gremlin was probably the most famous and most made into objects.
Yet, despite the modest sales, more toys and models were made of the AMC Matador than some better selling AMC models such as the Hornet, certainly more than the striking AMC Marlin, and there are practically no known models of the slight larger AMC Ambassador.
The Matador is not as common subject for Pinewood Derby as the Superbird, but at least one has been made.

 Cars - AMC Gremlin
Although it had the wheelbase of a subcompact, the Gremlin was a compact car in every dimension except the distance from the seatbacks to the rear bumper.
In 1970, the Gremlin debuted with AMC's 199 in³ (3.3L) I6 (a very sturdy and durable seven main bearing design), which produced 128 hp as standard equipment, with AMC's 232 in³ (3.8 L) I6 — producing 145 hp — as an option.
For 1973, recoverable bumpers able to withstand a 5 mph impact in the front and a 2.5 mph impact in the rear debuted according to federally mandated regulations.

 CanadianDriver: Motoring Memories - AMC Gremlin, 1970-1978
It was saved by AMC's chief stylist Richard Teague, the master of the low-cost makeover, who came through with another of his ingenious but inexpensive creations.
The result was the subcompact Gremlin, which AMC was able to bring to market on April 1, 1970, a half year ahead of Ford and GM.
While the Gremlin was a subcompact in length and wheelbase, it wasn't in width or weight.

 The Coupe Coop!
A bit about myself - my Dad was an AMC Parts and Service Manager for the Olathe, KS AMC dealership for many years, so our family always had at least one AMC in the driveway including a Rambler wagon, several Gremlins, a Hornet, and whatever demo my Dad happened to be driving.
I eventually sold it as rust and front end problems took their toll, and was without an AMC for several years until my Dad gave me his 76 401 powered Matador Coupe, affectionately known as "Dolly".
The owners I talk to are all enthusiastic about the Coupe (with the possible exception of fuel economy for the 360 or 401), and hopefully more people will open their mind to this car and to the other possibilities out there, instead of automatically rejecting it or following the same mind-numbing mainstream auto fashion trend.

 Nice Ride: The Hydrogen Gremlin -
The success of UCLA's hydrogen Gremlin and the fallout from the 1973 energy crisis helped UCLA professors William Van Vorst and Al Ullman convince the U.S. Postal Service to fund the development of a mail delivery truck powered by liquid hydrogen.
According to Van Vorst, the curtain in the truck's back window was supplied by a student researcher's girlfriend after she complained about being able to see the hydrogen tanks stored in the back.
The group did modify an AMC Gremlin to run on hydrogen back in the early 1970s, after all.

The Levi's interior was restored at Jamis Auto Restylers and Upholstery; they found NOS '75 AMC simulated-Levi's denim, and redyed the trim to match.
Being a '75 it has every crappy pollution-control device known to AMC at that time; I'm leaving it 100% intact (but not 100% stock) to pass AZ and CA smog, so the engine compartment isn't as pretty as say, my 1963 Classic.
