Vehicle Description
This 1974 AMC Gremlin is an absolute beauty, complete with
extensive documentation dating back to when the car was sold new.
Back in 1974, the "Big Three" dominated out of Detroit but many
forget that there was another major, albeit smaller, auto maker
hailing from the Motor City, the American Motors Corporation.
Originally formed in 1954 by the merger of Hudson and Nash, the
American Motors Corporation would be referred to as AMC. Unlike its
Big Three competitors, the company produced a number of unique and
innovative automobiles. AMC was also an innovator in Detroit when
it was among the first auto makers to offer disc brakes and when it
introduced the automatic transmission shift indicator that is
widely used today (PRNDL). However, perhaps AMC's biggest market
differentiator was its focus on fuel-efficient, economy models.
When the Gremlin debuted in 1970, it was the quintessential AMC
product, promoted as "America's First Sub-Compact Car" and was said
to have offered the best fuel economy. By the time 1974 rolled
around, the Gremlin became especially desirable as the 1973 Oil
Crisis was underway and the price of gasoline skyrocketed and its
availability became more scarce. The Gremlin was touted in AMC's
marketing materials as being "Unique and fun-to-drive" as well as a
well-built economy car. The 1974 edition Gremlins featured revised
styling including a new grille, updated trim, a new thinner rear
bumper, among other changes. This particular 1974 Gremlin comes to
us with extensive documentation, most which dates back to when the
car was new, including the original bill of sale and warranty card.
Under the hood is a 232 Cubic Inch Overhead Valve Inline 6 Cylinder
engine paired with a single barrel carburetor, that was said to
push out 100 horsepower in its day. The 232 Inline 6 is hooked up
to an automatic transmission ensuring that anybody can take this
baby for a spin around the block. The chrome and brightwork around
the exterior of this '74 Gremlin is in wonderful condition. The
exterior is finished beautifully in its correct color of Snow
White. Riding on P205/70R14 Radial Tires on American Racing Wheels,
this AMC Gremlin has a great look and even better ride. The
interior on this little Gremlin is superb! The front and rear bench
seats are upholstered in blue vinyl which is just how this car came
back when it was ordered new. The matching blue dash, door panels,
carpeting, and steering wheel all appear to be in their stock
configuration and are in wonderful condition as well. The dash is
equipped with a 120 MPH speedometer, temperature gauge, fuel gauge,
and controls for the "Weather-Eye" climate control system. Whether
you had one in your younger years and want to re-live your glory
days or you want to stand out at cars shows without spending a
small fortune on gas driving there, this 1974 AMC Gremlin would
make an excellent choice. Give us a call today!
