Thread: '72 AMC Gremlin "X"

Tweet

Its a mint 72 gremlin x bought from an old lady, Im the second owner. 258 I6 with auto tranny. Orange with white "x" package stripes. barely turned 100k miles. runs perfect was my daily for awhile. great car. the 390-401 amc v8's drop right in to make a bad ass street machine. $1200

Wish you weren't so far away!! Thems my kind of Hot Rods! unusual and so ugly they draw attention!! Seriously, Chevies fit in em and one local guy had a tunnel rammed 460 Ford in his street Levi's Gremlin. I've owned half a dozen of em but it was just to steal the front hubs for trailer projects and sell the dashes/fuse boxes for rat rods. That 258 is a real strong, tuff six tho. Too bad Michigan eats the bodies off them in about five years.

Got a few issues. 1) what kind of shape is the unibody in? especially under the fenderwells. 2) Are you sure thats a 258? if memory serves me right they were 232s in 72. 3)I could have SWORN that the gremlinX models came with a 304 as a base motor and a 360 optional. You might want to take a look at your car.

Nope its the 258, and its a true gremlin x and you could get the I6. I have the original manual and sales brochure. and the unibody is in perfect condition.

Cool, thanks for the info streets. So its kind of like the Hornet. A upgrade diddnt mean a better/bigger motor either. Go fig.

Used to own a new '70 Gremlin X.lime green with black stripes.........loved that car..........could pull stumps with that six

Own a 87 AMC Eagle with a 258 six. Love that car. Can pull stumps with that six. Of course the 4X4 system helps a lot. Just need to get a better carb/TBI system. And already checked my mail Streets. Now check yours

Yeah Them Grimlin Weren't To Bad If You Got A Good They Were A Great Little Car But If You Got A Bad One There Crap I Had One Of Those Bad One And Every Time That Thing Left Me Stranded I Would Get It Home Walk In To The House Grab My Gun And Shoot It I Finally Had To Scrap It The Town Clowns Started Looking At Me Kind Of Funny Must Of Had A Couple Hundred Bullet Holes In It By The Time I Scraped It

U were just helpin that car with its destiny "FIELD TARGET"!!!!!!

At That Time It Was Anger Management But Now That You Mention It I Think Your Right
