Lol, I can tell you how. By 1970, after some bad product decisions, amc needed new small car and had no money. The gremlin is literally the 01 series chassis from the B pillar back, and underneath, the only new sheet metal was the hatch.
It's a 100 inch wheelbase and somewhat lighter. Rear visibility is AWFUL.
But the AMC 01 chassis is pretty amazing. Every engine amc ever made in the car: 199, 232, 258 sixes, 304, 360, 390 and 401 v8s.
The interiors are shit too. Creaky plastic with no air flow.
Early 60s AMCs are wonderful little cars. I drive one as my daily.
Here's my AMC Rambler website.....
