STORY

The Gremlin went on sale on April 1, 1970 and was built through 1978. It used a shortened Hornet platform with a short Kammback tail. It started with a 199 cu in six, with a 232 as an option, and a 258 six followed. A 304 cu in V8 was offered from 1972 and was cancelled in the middle of 1976. In 1977 and 1978 a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine from Volkswagen was also available.
