[BaadAssGremlins] Spirit of 76 Gremlin aka AMC Patriot Edition (re: Bicentennial Gremlin?)

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, AMC made these, it was a stripe kit & decals kit. Also called "AMC Patriot Edition" 
Sort of like GX, Miniwagons and P38 Gremlins. The stripe kit is rather colorful. The 
"Gremlin '76" kit was made by Kay screen Graphics, 1614 Clay in detroit, MI for AMC. The 
kit is basically lower strip it red, white and blue, running just above bottom of fenders, 
right above rockers, and lower 1/4s on each side, and on the back has a big Interstate 
looking decals that was to be stuck to the right of back glass, just below. You see me 
sell some of the big decals on ebay every now and then, still have some of those although 
only two of the complete stripe kits in stock. No! There is no AMC part number on box, nor 
back of decals like tons of other stuff AMC sold they didn't stamp, imprint, carve into, 
but came from one of AMC's thousands of suppliers. You will not find it in Group 15 
accessory catalogs either like tons of other things you won't find in Group 15 catalogs 
AMC sold. Not sure how they marketed it, but my guess is they sent kits to dealers to hawk 
at parts counters perhaps.

No, not specifically for V8 Gremlins, it could be had on any Gremlin.

If you have ever seen a 72 Rallye Hornet stripe kit, this runs same except super colorful 
with stars, sort of like the Star Spangled SC/Ramblers years before.

Here are some photos off my site of a NOS Spirit of 76 Bicentennial Gremlin stripe kit....

anyone wanting a big AMC Patriot Edition decal there $13.00 shipping included. NOT only 
for the 76 AMC Gremlin, they look great on any AMC or Jeep....any year! The 2 Bicentennial 
Gremlin whole kits I have are not for sale, might reproduce them one day I guess. I'll 
include a copy of the one page Kay Screen Graphics instruction sheet also.
