Those "AMC Patriot" decals were supposed to go on the back of car, right side, directly below back glass as shown in the original instruction for Gremlin, however, some have put them on fenders on either side right in front of door, either side. Especially Jeep owners. If you look at the 3rd photo in the link below, you will see the decal above tailight on pass side. I have about 6-11 decals I think left, would have to find them though.

 

No, never have seen a bicentennial Hornet, not to say they didn't make one, just have not seen. Up in Kenosha I was at a national meet in 1980s and took a photo of a actual Bicentennial Pacer, one of about (I think) 50 made. Here is photo I sent up years later to Jeni's Pacer site

these were actually painted red/white/blue this particula one was for a Kenosha insurance company.

 

Not all Sportabouts had X package, add it if you want, you will have to add little plastic X outside and small metal "X" inside on glovebox, I havew one of those NOS on ebay for $7.99.

Wow Eddie how many of those decals do you have??

I bought one from you awhile ago, but have not put it on my Hornet yet.

Any ideas where I could put it on the car?

Did they ever make a bicentennial Hornet. I saw one like mine in a brochure

with blue interior.

I was also wondering if my Sportabout is supposed to have an X by where it says Sportabout

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.
