Vehicle Description
Only 200 miles since finished a few months ago. $50,000 restoration
in receipts for paint and parts, not including labor. It has
undergone a total nut and bolt meticulous restoration with "day 2"
period correct performance upgrades. Rare, original Rebel Machine
with its original 390 motor and 4-speed. This car is unique and
exciting. AMC was trying desperately to boost sales and needed
something drastic. This car certainly delivered, it got a lot of
attention. 1 year only build, the first 1,000 had the bold
red-white-blue color scheme. Another 1,300 were made in various
colors.
EXTERIOR: Stunning, if this car doesn't catch your attention there
is something wrong. Rust free Montana car, they don't use salt on
the roads. Body was stripped to bare metal. $10,000 paint job is
slick as Teflon. Has correct $800 decal stripe kit. Original, not
reproduction ram air hood scoop with factory tachometer
incorporated. Rare original "Machine" wheels. The rears were custom
made wider and have Mickey Thompson tires. Front tires are
reproduction Wide Ovals with white letters turned in. The
restoration is so fresh it still has the nubs on the tire tread.
Every piece of exterior chrome and trim shines like new, even the
vent window moldings, the grill, door handles, center caps etc.
Jambs are painted just as slick as the outside. Sill plates are new
and shiny. New weather stripping, all new the fuzzy window seals.

original trim tag are still affixed to the door. The body is
absolutely straight, there's no damage whatsoever. Doors open and
close like a brand new car. Has the vintage style stickers on the
quarter windows.
INTERIOR: First thing I noticed when I open the door is all the
interior lights work. It looks brand new inside. Reupholstered,
seats, new carpet, headliner, door panels etc. Between the bucket
seats is the original red-white-blue armrest cushion, also has
racing lap belts. No frills dash area restored like new. Has radio
delete, tachometer is on the hood and there's a set of vintage
Stewart Warner gauges mounted below. Has vintage style cushion grip
steering wheel. Everything looks nice- kick panels, mirror, rear
deck. It is missing the visors.
MOTOR COMPARTMENT: It is immaculately detailed under the hood. The
original 390 motor has been completely rebuilt with some upgrades

external polished vacuum reservoir for the performance cam. New
wires, hoses, belts, starter.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: bottom of trunk lid and jamb are gloss white,
new weatherstrip. Wheel wells were widened but retain a stock
appearance. Trunk floor has nice coat of spatter paint. There is a
fuel cell, carpet mat and a car cover.
UNDERSIDE: It is painted and detailed spotlessly. Gloss white
pristine, rust free floors. Welded in frame connectors look like

disc of the restoration. The flashyness is exciting, quality is
very satisfying, rarity makes it investable. The ram air 390 with a
4-speed should certainly be thrilling too!
