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.

AMC, or American Motors Corporation is one of those defunct automakers who gave us a bevy of interesting cars during their lifetime. One of their key models of the Sixties was their two-seat muscle car called the AMX. Produced from 1968 to 1970, less than 20,000 were made in total. Today, we have one of those cars and it’s highly upgraded. Say hello to this black 1969 AMC AMX Restomod from Fairmount, Illinois. It’s got a fearsome 401ci supercharged V8 under the hood with twin TorqStorm superchargers, hooked up to a Tremec 6-speed manual box and, naturally, rear-wheel drive. The car has under 1,500 miles since its comprehensive makeover and is your ticket to owning a formidable Sixties muscle icon that’s been given even more performance.
Introduced in 1968, the AMC Javelin was American Motors Corporation’s entry into the growing pony car segment dominated by the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. By 1969, the Javelin had established a reputation for combining sporty styling with strong V8 performance while offering a slightly more refined driving experience than many of its competitors. This 1969 AMC Javelin SST represents the more upscale trim level of the model lineup, offering additional comfort features and interior enhancements. Finished in an attractive shade of green and riding on period-style wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires, this classic AMC coupe captures the bold styling and muscle-era attitude that defined late-1960s American performance cars.
The Rambler American, subsequently called the AMC Rambler was a compact car made by American Motors Corporation. Three generations of Rambler were made between 1958 and 1969 before the Hornet took over. Ah, these nostalgic names from a brand that’s sadly, no more, is enough to create warmth in the heart of any American classic car lover. Today’s 1969 AMC Hurst/SC Rambler is even more special, because it’s an example of a special produced in 1969 in collaboration with Hurst Performance. Now, this 44,631-mile limited production machine from Montello could be yours. Even more impressively is that it’s been owned by the same person for around 56 years! Furthermore, the Hurst/SC Rambler was considered to be one of the most under-rated muscle cars of the time, given that its 315-horsepower V8 and compact dimensions meant that low 12-second quarter mile times were possible on merely street tires.
