In 1970, AMC released the Gremlin, a two-door dynamo born from the Hornet's DNA. It was a bold retort to the invasion of subcompact foreign wheels on American soil. They were light, efficient, and notably higher in quality than the domestic offerings. So, in order to become a flattering option, AMC had to combine the well-liked characteristics of American vehicles with the advantageous novelties of Japanese cars. Despite competition from the Vega and Pinto, the Gremlin more than doubled its sales by the second year of production. One of these examples was given away by America's longest-running television game program, The Price Is Right (TPIR). What you are looking at here is exactly that specimen: a 1974 AMC Gremlin X with only 1,757 miles on its clock.
