English: 1972 AMC Gremlin built as Randall 401-XR modification with 6.6 L V8 engine. The Randall AMC dealership in Mesa, Arizona, had American Motors' endorsement to replace 304 V8 (5.0 L) powered Gremlins with a 401 engine during 1972, 1973, and 1974. They were designed for maximum performance and also made for customer-specific customizing.
The 401 was available in the Javelin, Matador, and Ambassador car lines and in Jeeps from its introduction in 1971 through 1974.
