    I'm more of a straight 6 kinda guy, but I'll agree with you on American Motors.

    The Gremlin and the Pacer. Possibly the two worst cars to be manufactured at the same time by a single company.

    You've obviously never felt the raw power of the 258 cubic inch straight six power plant that is inside of every gremlin.


    It even came standard from the factory with a 3 foot stick to beat the ladies away with. Traveling without the stick would have been foolish for even the homeliest looking fellow when driving one of these fine pieces of machinery.


    The Pacer definitely sucked tho. I can't argue that.

    You're funny.
    So, what's wrong with the Pacer? You obviously love the car that was cut in half. So, you don't love the moonmobile?

    AM 258 I6 was a fine engine, the later 4.0 HO I6 used in so many Cherokees was based on the 232/258.
    Also, a V8 Gremlin, a 401 Gremlin to be precise.

    401-XR Gremlin

    The elegant 1960s AM Marlin.

    Once saw one of those with a 3.5 litre Rover V8 in the back, slammied to the floor and running on foot-wide tyres.

    Soooooo... you want a good looking V8?
