[Amc-list] 1977 AMC Trivia

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got a 1977 AMC Data Book a couple of weeks ago (Ebay
auction).  It has some interesting (to me at least)
facts about CA certified AMCs for the 1977 model year:

There were no Pacers or Hornets with standard
transmission approved for sale in CA that year.

The only Gremlin with standard transmission approved
for sale in CA was the 232/4-speed combination.

There were no Matadors (coupe or sedan or wagon)
approved for sale in CA with the 258 engine.  Only V8
versions were available here.

The Hornet with the 304 V8 was not approved for sale
in CA that year.

The above info would seem to have had a wet blanket
effect on AMC sales in CA.  I think the lack of a V8
in the Hornet might have been the most significant.
