I remember as a kid going to a junkyard in Quakertown pa they had not one but TWO Machines in the yard. amazing.. They were complete too. But then again this was in the mid 70's:)

still one sitting in a JY here in central MN. i would beg to differ on the ugly comment though!

[BBIGG BLOCK 396]

I don't think the rebels or the other AMC's are ugly with the exception of the Marlin! Not saying the Marlin was Ugly but I sure would not want to own one,on the other hand the Rebels and the little Red ,White and Blue 69 AMC could come on over to my garage anytime.I have even tossed around finding a 69 AMC and making my own version of the car.Big block 496 chevy with a turbo 400 trans! Should be a SCREAMER!

The Marlin tries hard to look the best he can,and should be judged more for his character and contributions among the Deuce contingent.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Yea, don't be so hard on the Marlin - it's a tough world these days http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I believe the Machine had the highest factory rated HP output of any other AMC @340HP. This was acheived through a unique intake (cast iron) and unique exhaust manifolds. I believe they ran a FoMoCo 4bl carb as with other 4bl AMC V8s that year (1970). I'm pretty sure they ran the same cam as all other 390's. Wheels and trim rings from what I've seen go for pretty good money these days. Enjoy your new ride.

About 25 yrs ago I located a Rebel Machine (light blue color) for a friend who was/is an AMC fan. Solid car needing resto then....still awaiting resto today http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

So now you're known as "The Marlin"? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif
Been hangin' with "The Donald" eh? (at least you have better hair!)http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hey Howie, you gonna chime in and admit to owning a Rebel Machine? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Actually, I always liked them. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Yes, the 70 Rebel with the 390 had (dog legged) heads helping produce the 340 HP. While the SC/Rambler with rectangular heads put out 315 HP. You'll find parts can be difficult to find.--- Good luck with the new ride.
