1970 AMC REBEL MACHINE - REBEL WITHOUT A CARE

摘要

AMERICAN MOTORS BEGAN an effort in the late 1960s toward a more youthful image by moving into the racing and muscle-car realms. With Hurst's help, the AMX and the SC/Rambler became two of AMC's most memorable cars of that era. The 1970s heralded another memorable muscle car from AMC and Hurst, the 1970 Rebel Machine. The low-investment 1969 Hurst SC/Rambler gave AMC's muscle-car program a shot in the arm. The Rebel Machine was a similar concept: stuff a big engine into a small car and watch it go. The midsize two-door Rebel had AMC's most powerful V8, the 390-cid, 340-hp, 430-lb-ft torquer with a functional vacuum-actuated ram air system. Behind the 390 came a standard Warner T-10 four-speed manual or an optional Borg-Warner automatic.
