These were way nicer than a Pinto or a Vega for not much more money. Decent room inside and more power with the 6 cylinder and good fuel mileage if you drove it easy.
My parents bought a new Vega in the fall of 71. By 73 it was dead. They traded the two year old Chevy in , blowing blue smoke, on a new 73 Levi's Gremlin. They had it 6 years and no problems. Gremlins might not be pretty but they were good cars.
Did AMC realize that the definition of 'Gremlin' means this? "An imaginary mischievous sprite regarded as responsible for an unexplained problem or fault, especially a mechanical or electronic one?" Guess AMC didn't take the time to look up the word to get the proper meaning.
Did anyone else notice that the rear driver side bumper was already bent down? they must've had a little fender bender. Love the light blue color/white stripe on this gremlin.
Back in 1977 I purchased a used 1973 gremlin with 30,000 miles on it.. mine had the large straight 6 cylinder.. which was pretty peppy...had air condition... It was yellow with black racing stripes that came down the sides & bent up around the side rear window.. it had factory tinted glass which was actually pretty dark.. I had slightly larger wider rear tires on it and it handled fantastic for me... I had the opening rear window and rear fold down seat...loved my gremlin ❤️
Had a friend with a Gremlins X, 304 V8 and a 4 speed, also a Levi interior. Say what you want but you couldn't get a more fun or cool car for your dollar. Great times!!!!!
I drove a 77 Gremlin in my job delivering for a local chain called “RJ’s House of Pizza” in the summer of 79. Aside from its non-functional fuel gauge, it wasn’t a bad car.
My mom had a Gremlin and later a Hornet. Those 6 cylinders would run forever. To me the Gremlin gave up a lot of practicality, but wasn’t that much more fuel efficient than a sedan like the hornet that was more stable and had a more useable rear seat and trunk.
These cars were well built and carried the best factory warranty in the business. At a base price of $1800 it was cheaper than a Volkswagen Beetle.

10.4 second 0-60 back then wasn't bad at all. Pinto and Vega were 16+ seconds.
70 - 0 in 218 feet? That car should have been banned as unsafe until they installed brakes on it.
Most people who criticized the Gremmie never owned one.

with a 304 3spd standard they could be fairly quick.
That panic stop at 70MPH made the car look awesome,like it was is some action movie.

Mother had a Levi's edition. Thing was a tank. Would not die. I know.. I tried. All I have to say is the Levi RIVETS would light you up in the summer.

the 258 with a 3 speed was a good performer, my dad had one I drove some when in high school
I love these old films
i loved my 72 gremlin was a great car
Bash away, but I loved my gremlin. 👍
I had a new '71. It was a very good little car. Wouldn't mind finding one and restoring it.
