This is a very hard to find 1968 AMC Rebel 770 Cross Country wagon.
From what we have observed, this may possibly be the only one for
sale in the United States. This Rebel comes with the original two
tone paint scheme Tahiti Turquoise Metallic with Frost White
insert. These wagons typically came standard with a six cylinder
engine, but this one has the optional and more powerful Typhoon
290ci 225 HP V8 engine with a 4bbl carburetor which makes this car
even more special. The dual exhaust with the chrome tips extends
out the rear quarter panels has a nice deep rumble. Other options
include Power Steering, Power Brakes, AM radio and 3-speed
Automatic shifter on the column. The transmission has recently been
rebuilt and it shifts through the gears smoothly. A new brake
master cylinder and power booster, power steering pump, water pump
and rear drums. The carburetor and radiator have been rebuilt. The
after-market Air Conditioning system was installed recently to cool
things down while you are cruising around in the hot summer season.
The engine compartment shows a new A/C compressor and new valve
covers but other than that, it looks original and unmolested. The
interior is black cloth and vinyl and we believe this to be
original but we cannot verify. Additional accessories that were
recently added for convenience is the aftermarket voltmeter gauge
and tachometer gauge attached to the steering column. There is a
current am/fm CD radio and speaker installed under the dash. The
original AM radio is still in place and the dash is in good
condition with no cracks. All the original gauges are in place and
the speedometer, odometer, gas gauge, temp gauge all work. Even the
cigarette lighter works! The added accessories can easily be
removed without compromising the originality of the dash if you
want to have a correct appearance. The 770 series features the
custom steering wheel, rear ash trays and glove box lock. The rear
tailgate features the electric tailgate window that slides down
into the tailgate. The cargo area has a hidden stowage compartment
and the back seat folds down for extra storage and there is an
original roof rack. The glass looks good and we believe it is
original. The doors all open and close solidly and the interior
door panels are in good condition and all windows operate normally.
There are a couple of splitting seams in the driver's seat and the
black carpet is in good condition. The wheels are the rally style
and the tires have good rubber on them. This is a dependable and
smooth riding, nice sounding Rebel that may surprise you when you
push down on the pedal!. You can drive it around town without any
worries. We can arrange delivery anywhere. For more information
