A bright yellow, 1972 AMC Gremlin with a 304-V8 and 3-speed manual. I bought it from my brother who had bought it new and made some high performance engine modifications. He ran it at a drag strip where, as I recall, it did the 1/4 mile in under 14.1 @ 100 mph. Not impressive by today’s standards but at the time it was a quick car. And being a much-maligned Gremlin, caught many people off guard.
I almost bought a 401 and 4-speed for it but never did. The AMC engine blocks were all the same size so any of them would fit right in.
I loved looking at the Gremlins in the school parking lot. The 70’s had very imaginative cars.
Don’t even get me started on the 70’s vans! Whoopee!
