A 1974 AMC Gremlin X is drawing renewed attention as a well-preserved example of one of American Motors Corporation’s most unconventional designs of the 1970s. Offered for sale at $34,500, the car is being presented by Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio, in partnership with Greg's Sports, Classic, & Muscle.
Finished in its original paint code E9, known as Mellow Yellow, the Gremlin reflects the playful and distinctive styling that made the model stand out during its era. The car received a quality repaint several years ago and continues to present cleanly, maintaining what sellers describe as an honest overall condition. The exterior appearance is complemented by solid bodywork, with no visible signs of rust noted throughout the vehicle.
Under the hood, the Gremlin X is powered by AMC’s 232-cubic-inch straight-six engine, paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain was a common configuration for the model and is noted for delivering predictable and straightforward driving characteristics. According to the listing, the vehicle drives as expected for its age and configuration, suggesting it remains suitable for regular cruising or casual use.
Inside, the car continues the tidy theme seen throughout the rest of the vehicle. The interior, engine compartment, and underside are all described as clean and well-kept, reinforcing the impression of a car that has been cared for rather than heavily modified or over-restored. While the mileage is listed as zero, no additional clarification is provided, indicating the figure may be unspecified or unknown.
The Gremlin X occupies a unique place in automotive history as one of AMC’s more daring designs, instantly recognizable and often associated with nostalgia and lighthearted appeal. The sellers suggest the car would be well received at car shows, where its bright color and unmistakable shape are likely to draw attention and conversation.
To support buyer confidence, the seller is offering a travel expense guarantee, covering up to $500 in travel costs if the vehicle is found to be materially misrepresented upon inspection. Additional photos and video are available upon request, and interested parties are encouraged to contact the seller directly to arrange further details or a test drive. See it here.
