In 1970, AMC released the Gremlin, a two-door dynamo born from the Hornet's DNA. It was a bold retort to the invasion of subcompact foreign wheels on American soil. They were light, efficient, and notably higher in quality than the domestic offerings. So, in order to become a flattering option, AMC had to combine the well-liked characteristics of American vehicles with the advantageous novelties of Japanese cars. Despite competition from the Vega and Pinto, the Gremlin more than doubled its sales by the second year of production. One of these examples was given away by America's longest-running television game program, The Price Is Right (TPIR). What you are looking at here is exactly that specimen: a 1974 AMC Gremlin X with only 1,757 miles on its clock.
Being an original "The Price is Right" giveaway car carries that trait for the rest of its life. It's a perfect conversation piece and what makes that car unique from the rest. With its eye-catching yellow exterior accented by black stripes, our subject 1974 AMC Gremlin X, stands out even more in a crowded parking lot or busy street. New tires gripping retro chrome wheels accentuate its profile. The car is guarded by chrome bumpers, and as you walk around it, you will see more chrome accents enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The pronounced Kammback tail is a distinctive touch to its silhouette and is topped with a subtle spoiler. As the breeze with efficient air conditioning fills the cabin, you can enjoy the retro radio with Bluetooth powered by a discreet amp. Further, a striking black and yellow steering wheel that mirrors the car's exterior highlights the interior of this 1974 AMC Gremlin X. Three prominent gauges command the driver's attention, while another rests below the steering wheel.
Despite its appearance as a small compact car, this 1974 AMC Gremlin X is powered by a potent 360ci (5.9L) V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission. The current owner has amped up the experience with a Griffin Aluminum 4-core radiator and an electric fan shroud. A new digital distributor and a new Edelbrock 1411 Electric Choke offer modern reliability. Powering it all is a new yellow top battery while a custom exhaust amplifies the V8's roar.

This particular AMC Gremlin was won on everyone's favorite show, The Price Is Right.
American Motors Corporation, or AMC is another one of those great automotive names that has fallen by the wayside. Our country’s great automotive history is littered with such names that, sadly, couldn’t cut it due to market dynamics. But rest assured that those names gave us some great hits during their heyday. Cue the AMC Pacer as a prime example. Made between 1975 and 1979, the Pacer was a compact economy car that was created in response to the Malaise Era of the Seventies. In its short four-year run, over 280,000 examples were made, highlighting its fame. If you’ve always wanted a Pacer for its quirky styling, choose this 1976 AMC Pacer that’s got just 4,000 miles on the clock after a full restoration.
Among those who enjoy driving about in good-looking cars, there is a small group who prefer the look of a mundane car with a classic historic flare. If that is your cup of tea, this 1993 Cadillac Allante is an excellent choice for you. While it blends well with day-to-day traffic, it boasts a stately personality. After all, it is a Cadillac. It was marketed as a two-seater luxury roadster, so it looks even classy with its top down. The Allante model saw a seven-year production run and the bodies were built in Italy by iconic coachbuilder Pininfarina. Our subject example only has 65,000 miles on its clock and is currently residing in Florida. Its owner claims that it comes with 3 keys and all the service is up to date.
If German automotive brands are famous for one thing, it is their build quality. You can opt for one of their models from the ‘70s and they will likely still run as if they were built a couple of years back. To be quite frank, they don’t make them like that anymore. For example, the 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is built like a tank, and we aren’t the only ones who think so. With proper maintenance, these beautiful cruisers will probably run forever. What we are featuring here is an all-original 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible showing 119,000 miles on its clock. It is currently in South Carolina and it's a great opportunity to experience what the three-pointed Star had to offer back in the '70s.
The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
