The AMC Gremlin (also American Motors Gremlin, is a sub compact available only as a two door, designed by Dick Teague and Bob Nixon. Using a shortened Hornet platform and bodywork with a pronounced kammback tail, the Gremlin was classified as an economy car and competed with the Chevrolet Vega and Ford Pinto, as well as imported cars including the Volkswagen Beetle and Toyota Corolla. The Gremlin reached a total production of 671,475 over a single generation. It was superseded by a restyled and revised variant, the AMC Spirit from 1979 to 1983. Teague's idea of using the pony car Javelin resulted in the AMX-GT concept, first shown at the New York International Auto Show in April 1968 the model did not go into production but laid the foundation of the Gremlin. Instead, Bob Nixon, AMC's future Chief of Design, designed the new subcompact based on the automaker's Hornet model, a compact car. The design reduced the wheelbase from 108 to 96 inches and overall length from 179 to 161 in making the Gremlin just two inches longer than the Volkswagen Beetle.
The Gremlin was introduced on 1st April 1970 vailable as a "base" two-passenger version with no rear seat and a fixed rear window, at a suggested retail price of $1,879, and as a four-seat hatchback with an opening rear window, at $1,959. The upright design of the tail, which enlarged interior space, was aerodynamically efficient and in design terms ahead of its time.
The Gremlin debuted in April 1970 with AMC's 199 cu in (3.3 L) I6, a seven main bearing design which produced 128 hp as the standard model, with AMC's 232 cu in (3.8 L) I6 - producing 145 hp (108 kW; 147 PS) - as an option. For the 1971 model year the "X" appearance/equipment trim package was introduced as a $300 option on the 4-passenger model, it included body side tape stripes, body color front fascia, slotted road wheels with D70x14 Goodyear Polyglas tires, blackout grille insert, bucket seats, and "X" decals. The previously optional 232 cu in (3.8 L) I6 engine became standard in 1971, and a longer stroked 258 cu in (4.2 L) version became the option. One of the changes for 1972 was the optional introduction of a 304 cu in (5.0 L) V8 engine. It was "the muscle car formula of stuffing a big motor in a small car." The base two-seater model was discontinued For 1973 all American cars had to have the strengthened low impact bumpers able to withstand a 5mph bump.The X package received a new tape-striping pattern that kicked up over the Gremlin's rear-wheel flares.
For 1974 there was deeper front facia giving the car a longer appearance. A larger front bumper was mounted on self-restoring telescoping gas and oil cylinders.The rear fascia was modified slightly to blend with the design changes. The Gremlin X stripe pattern was given a "hockey stick" look for 1974: the stripes followed the window line as it tapered aft, and swept up now to include four diagonal lines on the wide C-pillar

The AMC Javelin is an American front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-door hardtop automobile manufactured and marketed by American Motors Corporation (AMC) across two generations, 1968–70 and 1971–74.
Styled by Dick Teague, the Javelin was available in a range of trim and engine levels, from economical pony car to muscle car variants. In addition to manufacture in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Javelins were assembled under license in Germany, Mexico, Philippines, Venezuela, as well as Australia – and were marketed globally.
As the winner of Trans-Am race series in 1971, 1972, and 1976, the second-generation AMX variant was the first pony car to be used as a standard vehicle for highway police car duties by an American law enforcement agency.
American Motors' Javelin served as the company's entrant into the "pony car" market created by the Ford Mustang. The design evolved from two AMX prototypes shown in AMC's "Project IV" concept cars during 1966. One was a fiberglass two-seat "AMX", and the other was a four-seat "AMX II". Both of these offerings reflected the company's strategy to shed its "economy car" image and appeal to a more youthful, performance-oriented market.
Sales of convertibles were dropping and AMC did not have the resources to design separate fastback and notchback hardtops that were available on the Mustang and on the second-generation Plymouth Barracuda, so the AMC designer team under Richard A. Teague penned only one body style, "a smooth semi-fastback roofline that helped set Javelin apart from other pony cars."
The Javelin was built on AMC's "junior" (compact) Rambler American platform only as a two-door hardtop model to be a "hip", dashing, affordable pony car, as well as available in muscle car performance versions. "Despite management's insistence on things like good trunk space and rear-seat room, Teague managed to endow the Javelin with what he termed the wet T-shirt look: voluptuous curves with nary a hint of fat."
The AMC Javelin was restyled for the 1971 model year. The "1980-looking Javelin" design was purposely made to give the sporty car "individuality," even at "the risk of scaring some people off."
The second generation Javelins (1971-1974) became longer, lower, wider, and heavier than its predecessor. Wheelbase was increased by 1-inch (25 mm) to 110 in (2,794 mm). The indicated engine power outputs also changed from 1971 to 1972–74. Actual power output remained the same, but the U.S. automobile industry followed the SAE horsepower rating method that changed from "gross" in 1971 and prior years to "net" in 1972 and later years.
By 1974, the automobile marketplace had changed. Mid-year, Chrysler abandoned the pony car market. Whereas Ford replaced its original Mustang with a smaller four-cylinder version, and other pony car manufacturers also downsized engines, the Javelin's big engine option continued until the production of the model ended in October/November 1974 amidst the Arab oil embargo and overall declining interest in high-performance vehicles.
The 1974 AMX did not do as well in the marketplace when compared to the new Camaro, Firebird, and the downsized Mustang II– all of which saw increased sales. Javelin production meanwhile reached a second-generation high of 27,696 units. Out of that total number, a total of 4,980 Javelin-AMX models were produced for the final model year.
A new seatbelt interlock system prevented the car from being started if the driver and a front passenger were unbuckled. The functional cowl-induction fiberglass hood was no longer available for 1974, and the output of the 401 cu in (6.6 L) V8 dropped by 20 hp (15 kW; 20 PS). Some late-production cars came with hoods made from steel.
Several factors led to the demise of the Javelin model, not least of which was the economic climate of the time. While the 1974 model was exempt from stricter 1974 bumper standards, AMC estimated it would take $12 million in engineering and design work to revise the bumpers to meet the 1975 standards.
American Motors also introduced the all-new 1974 Matador coupe, described by Popular Mechanics as "smooth and slippery and actually competes with the Javelin for "boss" muscle-car styling". The automaker also needed a manufacturing line to build its all-new AMC Pacer. Nevertheless, more cars were built during the final year of Javelin production than the prior second-generation years, with 27,696 units built, of which 4,980 (about 15 percent) were Javelin AMX models.
The Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) divides the "muscle" AMC Javelins into two categories: Class 36-e for 1968–69 Javelin base and SST models equipped from the factory with 343 cu in (5.6 L) 4-barrel or larger V8 engines; and Class 36-j for 1970–74 Javelin, SST, and AMX models equipped from the factory with 360 cu in (5.9 L) four-barrel or larger V8 engines. Javelins built with smaller engines compete in the regular AMC classes according to their respective decade of production.
According to estimates from the 2006 Collector Car Price Guide some of the desirable extras include the V8 engines, particularly the 390 and 401 versions, as well as the "Go" package, and special models including the "Big Bad" color versions. The 1971 through 1974 AMX versions also command higher prices, according to several collector price guides. The 1973 Trans Am Victory edition also adds a premium in several classic car appraisal listings, but the distinguishing decal was readily available and it has been added to many Javelins over the years.
The book Keith Martin's Guide to Car Collecting describes the cars as providing "style, power, nostalgia, and fun by venturing off the beaten path ... these overlooked cars offer great value" and includes the 1971–1974 Javelins as one of "nine muscle car sleepers."
Hidden in the darkest recesses of the garage at Leuze, with its nose angled threateningly downwards, it looks like a big cat ready to pounce. A young American lion, surrounded by the carcasses of dozens of pre-war pussy-cats. Ghislain Mahy was not a fan of this kind of youthful potency. But son Ivan and grandson Michel both had a weak spot for this excess of horsepower on four oversized wheels. The Javelin has since become an American icon for lovers of young-timers. However, acquiring this status was by no means self-evident. In 1954, the American Motors Corporation combined Hudson and Nash in the largest merger that the automobile industry in Detroit had ever seen. AMC specialised in cheap models aimed at the average American consumer, but it could not compete with the Big Three: General Motors, Chrysler and Ford. It was thought that the trend towards ‘muscle cars’ at the end of the 1960s would do little to change this. A coupé with an exaggerated rear end and a powerful engine was not really AMC’s style. Or at least it wasn’t until veteran Richard ‘Dick’ Teague came up with a design for a first model of the Javelin. True, it was still a tame version, but it offered potential for the future. That future arrived in 1971, with the second generation of Javelins. With this car, AMC was looking ahead to the 1980s, with daring lines that risked scaring off its traditionally cautious customers. Under its concave bonnet there now roared a powerful eight-cylinder engine, good for 177 horsepower and resulting in two successive victories in the Trans-Am Series for muscle cars. From 1973 onwards, the modified version got even more power, as well as a black vinyl roof and a body in various shades of brown and green, complete with racing stripes. The matching interior, with its angled dashboard, looked like the cockpit of a jet fighter. The real daredevils opted for the limited edition with upholstery by fashion designer Pierre Cardin. In 1974 alone, AMC sold almost 30,000 of this poor man’s version of the Corvette. The company’s Buyer Protection pledge was a cool added bonus: if the Javelin broke down more than 100 miles from home and you had to stay the night in a motel, AMC would pick up the bill. Of course, this mint-green version from the last year of production is now many thousands of miles from home and AMC has long since ceased to exit. Sic transit gloria mundi.

The 1967 Marlin was increased in size to "full-size" and based on the senior Ambassador series on a 118" wheelbase chassis, as American Motors introduced an all new, redesigned intermediate and full size platform with the 1967 AMC Rebel and Ambassador. AMC now marketed the Ambassador as a full size flagship, in line with CEO and President Roy Abernethy's vision of being a full line automaker. Less than six months into the model year, Abernethy resigned in January 1967 as record losses mounted and the all new models failed to reach sales targets.
Sharing the same platform as the Ambassador, the Marlin was basically a fastback variant of the Ambassador 2-door hardtop. The narrow rear trunk opening limited practical cargo loading and the lack of a folding rear seat on the fastback (unlike the Mustang and Barracuda) was not versatile for oversized loads. The Marlin was in its final year with just 2,545 built. The 232 six was standard, with 290 and high performance 343 V8s optional.
This Marlin (delivered October 1966) has the standard 232.
More info on the Marlin can be found at the Marlin Auto Club.
