Uh… Gremlin was an unfinished car with that rear cut. The rear is so stupid. that sick diagonal from roof to bumper. Would be better if they’d advice it like “AMC Gremlin, buy on 2 pieces, Diagonal Under and Diagonal after when u got some more money.” They had to learn from VW, Mini or Fiat to make a REALLY good design on hatchback, not that crap.

I don’t see why people put down the Gremlin so much. I thought people generally cheered for the underdog? When you think about it, Chevy RUSHED the Vega into production. Silicone lined cylinder walls??? Those things burned more oil than gas!
Pinto??? Rushed into production….. KABOOOM!!! Need I say more?
The Gremlin is based on the Hornet chassis which was re-engineered from the Rambler American platform. AMC spent many years developing it as they knew it’d be their bread and butter!
The 199, 232 and 258 sixes were a seven main bearing engine and let’s not forget that AMC was Nash and Hudson – the KINGS of 6-cylinder automobiles. AMC knew a thing or two about sixes! The 232 with a 2-barrel at the time had more power than any other six on the market….that’s 155 h.p. That’s almost the same power as a 283 Chev, 289 Ford or 273 Chrysler – and those are V8′s!!!
The AMC sixes got better mileage than all it’s competitors too, despite displacing more.

But with the Ford Pinto you get cremated for free if you get in wreck. Can’t beat that offer.

I don’t think they were that ugly, the ’72-73 X model was the best looking. IMO .

That was one of the ugliest cars ever made. Even though the Pinto was a death trap it still had a better style to it.
