It had some following in the '70's. Not by design, the 232 cubic inch straight six turned out to do okay in during the oil crisis, as did many other AMC siblings like the Hornet and the Gremlin. My first car in the US was a '70 Hornet. A 232ci straight six. The 3 speed Borg Warner gear box was a bomb. Had to replace the tranny soon after. Shift was the steering column too. Yaofeng
