1970
AMC REBEL MACHINE
(including rare & $$$ extras)
I'm selling my Rebel Machine after 14 years. It starts and runs nicely. I just replaced the master cylinder and changed the oil this October and I just replaced the battery in November.
It is actually mostly original, and the important missing original parts were painstakingly found and are included. Please let me know if you have any questions.
It's a really nice rare ride (only 1k in R/W/B and under 3k overall vs. over 197k Mustangs in 1970) that everyone loves once they see it. Every local car show that I took it to it won.
Price is negotiable.

Issues with this Rebel Machine:
Parking brake is not operating. It works inside the car, but it's not connected under the car.
A previous owner installed an oil pressure and vacuum gauges and disconnected the radio and I don't know what else.
Engine temp gauge on dash isn't working.
Clock isn't working
AM Radio isn't working
Door lock on driver's side doesn't lock from the inside. It will lock with the key.
