AMC had there Super car too ( I guess )
Looks like Randall AMC in Arizonia made about 20 401-XR Gremlins with permission from AMC. Low 12 Second cars could be had for about $3000.00 !!! www.gremlinx.com/RandallXR.htm

Re: AMC had there Super car too ( I guess )
Great story, a rare "Super Car" to say the least, as a 304 4banger Gremlin X with just headers was quite the screamer.

Re: AMC had there Super car too ( I guess )
We had an AMC dealer in the Vancouver area who put out 10 - 15 of those little screamers. I think they were in Haney, just down the road from Musallem Motor Products, who sponsored Buck Kinney's 454 Chevelle ragtop.
Here's a photo I took in 1975 at Boundary Bay Raceway. 401 Gremlin

Re: AMC had there Super car too ( I guess )
Hey Diego,you must be referring to Dan Jensen. I have seen his Randell AMC.
My brother had a Gremlin with a 304 4 speed back in the mid 70's. I thought he was weird until I took it for a ride. It was a handful.
