That would have been either a 232 or 258 six. Mike

When I worked at Budget we had the Levis edition Gremlins with the
straight
sixes (was it a 252?), including the tiny dished sport steering wheel and
NO
POWER STEERING. Really nice handling beast under way, but evil, evil thing
to parallel park. We gave up trying to rent them to women, as they all
brought them back and complained within hours.
We had Hornets and Pacers as well. Whomever purchased the Pacers after got
a
good deal, as they were low mileage (no one wanted them) -- except for the
wagons, which people found to be a useful size for small chores.

You won't believe this, but thats exactly the same car they profiled. It
was
Classic Car and Driver on the Gremlin with Levis interior. Yellow with a
V8
and 4 speed. Remember the Hornet?

I had a 73 Gremin X with the 304V8, 4 speed standard and a limited
slip.....THAT CAR WAS A ROCKET!!! It also has the limited edition Levi's
edition interior with denim seats and Levi's jeans buttons stitched into
it.
Wish I still had that one!!!
Probably would have never owned a MBZ if I hadn't acquired a love of
tinkerring working on AMC's...LOLOL, Mike

Hey Mike, this would be something you could be intersted in. I saw a Car

Driver special on tv about the gremlin with a V8. Man that thing could
really smoke em...

Hi, All.
OT! Not too long ago there was a (mercifully) brief discussion of the
Chevrolet aluminum 4 and the car it ended up in. This week I found a
1970
Car Life magazine with an article about the XP-887 engine , read Vega,
engine, Mopar engines and a proposed mid engine Corvette plus a
critical
review of the Gremlin. Any of you nostalgia bums want it, just ask.
(sicko's).
Any of you Gentlemen of the Navy who would like a Navy Training Course
Booklet "Instructions for use in Preparation for the rating of Seaman
1c,
dated 1940, just ask. These "jewels" were part of my father in laws
squirrel hoard, from his Navy days etc.(WWII and Korea).
TTFN and off to bed.

Diesel diving tomorrow.
