Vehicle Description
For the 1971 model year the X appearance/equipment trim package was
introduced as a $300 option on the 4-passenger model and proved
extremely popular. It included body side tape stripes, body color
front fascia, slotted road wheels with Goodyear Polyglas D70x14
tires, blackout grille insert, bucket seats, and X decals. The
2-passenger Gremlin version entered into its second and final
season. The 232 cu in (3.8 L) I6 engine that was optional for 1970
became standard, while a longer-stroke 258 cu in (4.2 L) version
became the option. Compression ratios dropped from 8.5:1 to 8:1 for
1971, resulting in 135 hp (101 kW) (gross) from the 232 cu in (3.8
L) and 150 hp (112 kW) (gross) from the 258 cu in (4.2 L).The AMC
Gremlin is a two-door subcompact car produced in the United States
and Canada by the American Motors Corporation (AMC) between 1970
and 1978. In typical fashion, AMC expanded their development and
manufacturing profits by adapting a shortened Hornet platform with
a Kammback-type tail, continuing the 19681970 Javelin and AMX
pattern but without the limited production aspect of the AMX, as
forecast by the 1969 AMX GT. The manufacturer described the car as
the first American-built import. All vehicles are subject to a
reconditioning fee of up to $2000 for all qualifying vehicles.Sales
