AMC Gremlin XP Parts

More on AMC Gremlins

Back in 1992, Gremlins had very little following. But during the late 1990s, interest really grew in all things related to the 1970s, even clothing styles (ugh!). The Gremlin (and Pacer) gained a certain amount of respect in collector car circles, though they will certainly never achieve the status of a '57 Chevy or '66 Mustang.

That being said, Gremlins can provide a lot of cheap, affordable fun. Though nice ones are a very rare sight, most parts are available since the basic mechanicals and much of the sheet metal were shared with other AMC models of the period. Of course, the "spirit" of the Gremlin lived on after 1978 in the appropriately-named Spirit, which lasted through 1983.

From an investment standpoint, the most collectible Gremlins are probably those with both the V8 and the sporty "X" package. If you manage to find one that also has the "Levi's" interior, it's a definite keeper. With only 3017 made during 1970-'71, the early 2-seater models are very rare today and are worth holding on to as a novelty item. Ditto the fewer than 3000 Gremlin GTs produced during 1978. However, any Gremlin in good shape is worth keeping since they are becoming quite scarce--they are definitely worth preserving as a rather unique piece of automotive history.
