1. AMC Gremlin GT
In 1977, AMC decided to turn the Gremlin into a muscle car, installing a 304 V8 engine producing 120 HP. The ridiculously low power resulted in a terrible performance. But the Gremlin GT was quite a looker with a fresh graphics package, sporty wheels, and interior equipment. Realizing that the performance was painfully slow even for a wannabe muscle car, AMC installed a 4.2-liter inline-six engine.
It didn’t produce much more power, but it produced more torque, which was enough for some improvement. However, even this and heavy discounts by AMC dealers didn’t help. So, the production was low at around 3,000 copies and they discontinued the GT option for the 1978 model year. These are the muscle cars from AMC. Which one do you like the best? Surprisingly, some of these are still on the roads, but you’ll see most of them at car shows in America.
