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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

I asked because they also had (I think) a 383 V8 version of just about everything "muscle" they made back then.Look at the front under the bumper.
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.
