Default 2 -Factory Correct -Matador Red AMC Rebel Machines

Of the 596 AMC Rebel Machines ever built in any one of the 17 Available AMC Colors, (Yes, They did come in something OTHER Than Red White and Blue) These are two Low Mileage Totally Correct, Very Show Worthy Factory Matador Red Rebel Machines.
Back in the Day, all the Car Magazines said RED was the Prettiest Color, and we would have to agree. There are No Production Number breakdowns by color, however only about 20-30 might have been built in total in RED. 8 are currently known to exist on the Machine Registry, these are the Only Two Known to be Totally Correct and Complete.
REBEL number 1- is a 56,000 mile example, that is fully detailed throughout, and is know as one of the Most Photographed Rebel Machines Ever. Magazine articles and Calendars too numerous to mention here. 4-speed, Numbers Matching. $45,000.-
Rebel number 2- Was hidden away for many years in a warehouse. It has 36,000 Original Miles. Also a 4 Speed. And also Numbers Matching and Correct. Not quite as highly detailed as Number 1 but Very Very presentable. $40,000.-
Until Our two Machines, There has NEVER been Two Matador Red Machines Side by Side. NEVER !
If You Want Unique, this is it. Buy The Pair!
I will attach a Photo of Rebel Number 1 to this, but have Many Photos of Both available to Interested parties. If You Want a TRUE Factory RED Rebel Machine this is YOUR Chance. There are No Others like these. Correct. Contact [email protected] for more info. or call 401-246-2051

There was a "Bittersweet" Color Rebel Machine, that went for cheap on Barrett Jackson this past Tuesday. It was a re-hashed dog of a car. Not detailed and a horrible color.
I don't have any Gremlins at all right now, but there is a REAL V-8 Gremlin on E-Bay at this moment, and it's Red, also, there is a Matador Red AMC Hornet S/C 360. Kind of like AMC's answer to the Nova. Only they made about 1000 S/C 360's and that was that.

Draginwagon;

I don't know where you got your stats from, but there were approximately 2328 Rebel Machines built. I was an avid AMC enthusiast for years, before jumping ship to Corvettes.

Hornet S/C 360 production was approximately 674, while Hurst Scrambler Rambers (Rogue body style) were around 1512 built.
I owned only Javelins and AMX's, mostly 1970, had twelve of them. Production for the 1970 Mark Donohue edition Javelin was 2501, and the RED/WHITE/BLUE Trans Am Javelin was 100 built.
Unfortunately about the only real threat to Chrysler, GM and Ford muscle cars, track or street was the Hurst Super Stock AMX's, 52 were built in 1969. I believe they were built for homolgation to the SS/C &amp; SS/D classes. Shirley Shahan campaigned one successfully. Then Craig Breedlove and his wife broke 102 USAC national and international endurance runs with a pair of '68 AMX's, one a 290cid, the other a 390cid. However Mickey Thompson came along the following year in 1969 with a Boss Mustang and broke these records.

1967 was the Last Year for the AMC, or Rambler Marlin. It was built on the Ambasador Chassis, so it could have a 390 V-8 in it. They made less than 1500 total, and Kaput. No More Marlin.
There is a GREMLIN with a V-8 on E-Bay and not the yellow one, it is a Red one and a true 304 V-8. That was the only 8 you could get in a Gremlin.
There are a Lot of Gremlins out there that people put 401's in. They scream.
Remember the commercial for the Gremlin????
Gas station attendant says, "Hey Lady, where's the rest of your car???"

If this works, here is the link to the V-8 Gremlin
For what it's worth.
