==== 1976 ====
The Gremlin X version was added in 1976 as a separate model rather than an optional package. The X models included VAM's larger {{convert|258|CID|L|1|abbr=on}} I6, a 6000 RPM tachometer, sports steering wheel, 7.00X14 radial tires, Hurst linkage with T-shaped shifter for the manual transmissions, courtesy lights under the parcel shelf, heater, power steering, tinted windshield, bright molding package (drip rails, wheel arches, rocker panels), wheel trim rings, and an in-house two-color rally stripe that was unique to the Mexican market.<ref name="Spanish-accent"/> The 1976 VAM Gremlin X also came with an interior featuring the "Navajo" pattern cloth upholstery that was optional on AMC's Pacer DL models built for the Canadian and U.S. markets.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.arcticboy.com/Pages/arcticboysvam.html | title=Arcticboy's VAM page, 1976 Gremlin X brochure cover |first=Bob |last=Wilson |access-date=June 27, 2014}}</ref> The base VAM Gremlin now also included luxurious seating with a center armrest that was never available in the U.S. models.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.arcticboy.com/Pages/arcticboysvam2.html |title=Arcticboy's VAM page 2, 1976 Gremlin base model brochure cover |first=Bob |last=Wilson |access-date=June 27, 2014}}</ref> Due to the debut of the Gremlin X and its sportier focus, the base Gremlin switched back to the standard column-mounted shifters for either transmission, but keeping the individual seat configuration. Both versions included revised gauges with a 160&nbsp;km/h speedometer, new side panel designs, longer folding sun visors, and a styled round dome light lens. Sales for 1976 increased to over 6,000 units.<ref name="Spanish-accent"/>
