Northwest Woodsman: Poor taste would be the only excuse for purchasing one of those ugly American Motors cars. Had a fellow agent when working in LA area in those days. He continually complained about the job, supervisors, the agency, and the result was that when we received new vehicles, he got the Purple Gremlin! Punishment?
I had a brother-in-law that had one. He thought it was ugly, but wanted to drive it until it died. The car outlasted him! It had a motor that just wouldn't quit.

Junk
I love that car , drop a 350 chevy V8 in it , wheel stands always to half track.
Yep! And right in back to the right side is a Matador another fossil.
I had one. Also a Pacer: an engineering marvel 20 years ahead of all other vehicles....
Not a Matador but a Javlin.
Party on - excellent!
Still better than a Chevy
They had the ole 4.0 258c.c. iron duke 6 banger in them one of the best engines ever made.
Almost as bad as an explode upon impact Pinto
Wayne's world wasn't it?
The original from waynes world was found on american pickers
Where's the rest of your car toots?
That is a Gremlin and youcould get 304 v8 in 1972 models.....really could spin the tires.....but still a piece of you know what
You must be joking 3:07
Not to mention the Levi's edition trim. Very uncomfortable if you were a back seat passenger. But cheap wheels back in the day.
Ugly car, appropriately named. But you couldn't kill that engine. It would run much longer than you would want to be seen in that car.
