If it was an X then yes unless he modified it.

Maybe not?
The old boy had a Gremlin X and a Hornet X. Both had straight 6's and both were manual, 3 on the floor. The Hornet had more miles on it than anyone had seen (i can't remember the number)

I could be wrong, but I don't remember the X having anything but an 8. The plain old Gremlin sure did. Maybe everyone I saw / knew bought the V8.

I was wrong according to Wikipedia. I must just have never known anyone without the V8. The X was just an appearance package.

I just read the wiki on it. Seems the 304 was available in them all, X or plain as an option. Not until the later yrs though. First couple yrs, only 2 different 6cyl were available.

Ya, the old boy would have never sprung for an 8cyl.

Here's my friends Gremlin V8. Not sure if its an AMC 304 ?

That's amost definitely the 304 as the Randall 401 was a very rare (only 21 Gremlins got the 401) and they never put the 290 or the 360 in the Gremlin. If by chance it is a Randall 401, he has a truly great collector car.

Maybe my 2-3 car collection idea is too small… but we all have to start somewhere.

I don't know Murray. This was the 1980 pace car and there's not a lot of info on it. The pace car was an Amx in 1981 as well and it was powered to 450 hp with an inline turbo charged 6 cyl. That's all I got....

How about a Ford Pinto , an AMC Pacer , and one of these….just to make up for the other two, lol .View attachment 115187

With the 440 Super Commando engine, of course.

Didn't they poach Ford 351 V8 Clevelands?
Funny I saw an AMX Javelin the other day out here in Sarnialabad, in pretty good shape.
Brought back some memories of the early '70s. Knew a guy that had one.

Look at the front under the bumper.

The MB shop in London had something similar (right side pic) in metallic green in their showroom last Spring.
I'm sure it was priced well over C$300,000 and had a "sold" sticker in the window.

Look at the front under the bumper.

I asked because they also had (I think) a 383 V8 version of just about everything "muscle" they made back then.
I thought they put the engine displacement badge on the hood along the centre line, both sides?
Couldn't quite make one out in the pic.
