Vehicle Description
You can't help but get excited when someone builds a street-eating
machine out of something uncommon like this 1967 AMC Rebel 770
coupe. But more than just unusual with standout paint, it has been
built with a performance 385ci V8 and plenty of other goodies so
that it's as quick as it is memorable.
The paint probably already sealed the deal for you on this one. The
two-tone flat black and gloss blue have not only been applied with
a professional hand, but it's also truly a thoughtful presentation.
Everything on the upper half of this car is black, with even the
trim pieces like the side mirror, windshield wipers and window
surrounds consumed by darkness. This also goes for the bumpers and
door handles. So the only hint of shine is on the knock-off
spinners on the large American Racing black wheels. This is a
fantastic presentation right down to the details like the hint of
aggression provided by the red pinstripe that is the boarder for
the black and blue (and it's a nice match for the red front disc
brake calipers, too.)
When you open the door you can instantly see this is an interior
that's ready to get down to business. The black cloth seating
provides added comfort, and it matches nicely with the carpeting,
door panels, headliner, and dash. You get the factory AMC
three-spoke sports steering wheel, and all the right controls,
including the heat/defrost and extra wide speedometer are directly
in front. But you've also spotted that Hurst shifter with Turbo
Action commanded center surrounding it. Oh yeah, that's a wicked
setup, and when combined with the auxiliary gauges just ahead, it
really lets you know there's something special under the hood.
Don't let the shine of the engine bay fool you; this is a
workhorse, not a glamour poser. The 385 cubic-inch Chevy V8 has
been built for combat with go-fast goodies like Chevrolet
Performance Bowtie aluminum heads, Chevy performance intake, Holley
four-barrel carburetor, CSR electric water pump, MSD ignition,
Moroso Ultra 40 wires, and Moroso valve covers. That blue exhaust
system look great, and it adds plenty of performance and thunder
because those are Hooker headers that feed the rumbling Flowmaster
dual exhaust. It's a total package that's built for being first off
the line and staying ahead the whole time. So the performance V8 is
mated to a two-speed Powerglide with a healthy stall to start you
in the ideal powerband.
We know you're thinking about all the places you want to take this
cool coupe. But also remember it's a rare treat. AMC only built
9,685 examples of the Rebel 770 hardtop this year, and we doubt any
of the survivors are this wild and nicely done today. So you need
to hurry if you want to take this unique speed machine home. Call
