That Ambassador Machine is freaking gorgeous!
Not on the list but in 1967 they built Rouges equipped with 343 V-8s. 4 bbl carb, dual exhausts, 4 speed etc. The Rouge was also the vehicle were the new V-8 was introduced in 1966.
Great video, but a minor observation: The Rebel Machines could actually also be ordered out in any AMC color offered in 1970. I believe the red, white and blue models were more common overall.
Only the first 1000 Rebel Machines were red, white, and blue. Other ones were various colors.
@@johnnymason2460 Thanks for the info! 🙂
@@AMCmachinealso after the first 1000 they did not sell any RWB Machines. It was exclusively their more normal colors
Grew up in a small town in the northeast and there was one of those Hornet S/Cs on the streets for quite some time. I knew they were kinda rare but I didn't realize they were that rare.
I think it's wild that we had something that special in our little town and very few people likely realized how special it actually was.
I have never heard of the 1971 Matador Machine. It's an interesting car to get.
One thing I've never heard was how heavy the Matador Machine was. It must have been substantial because the doors had extra bracing in them which made the doors much heavier than a Machine door. On top of that, the front clip was 2" longer. Lots of room for extra weight.
WHY DID YOU NOT INCLUDE the GREMLIN with 360 V8 & four on the floor?
A friend I knew in late 70's had to put WHEELIE BARS on it to keep it from flipping. He could beat any of the big 3 muscle cars at the stoplights & was a blast to ride in!
Great video as AMC was too far ahead of the times. Such as in the 1980s where many of today's BMW & MERCEDES mimic the AWD & basic shape just a little more modernized softer lines. Plus Subaru entire k8ne is basically rounded off versions of what became Eagle car models.
Still have my '70 AMX 360/4V with Hurst 4-speed....getting more rare every year.
This video missed the 10 dealer supplied Machines that were given by AMC to dealers having success on the drag strip, primarily with AMXs and Javelins. I've seen evidence of 3 of them and at least two of them still exist. One was in the Midwest and featured in Larry Mitchell's newsletter that I forget the name of, another I saw in pieces in Al Timmers' barn in Ypsilanti, Michigan. That car was bought and still exists. The third was the Bruce Smith Machine that was campaigned up and down the west coast for two years, never losing a race according to Bruce when I interviewed him in 2002 or thereabouts.
I'm impressed, I had heard of all of these except for the Matador Rebel Machine and your #1 The California SE AMX, great list! I actually remember as a child someone who owned a Mark Donahue special, it was silver with a massive raised hood.
My friend in high school had a javelin and he was always picky about his seats they had a tag on them, made by Sergio Valente.
What a bargain the Hurst SC/Rambler was. You could option dual 4 bbl carbs and intake manifold, headers, ignition, camshaft, and rear end gears. Buy it, drive it, and race it!
The Javelin Trans Am edition was offered in the early 69 model year before the contract with Penske was signed. The rear spoiler was the same one used in 68 & 69. Could be ordered out of the performance parts catalog.
Yes. That spoiler was used on the Ron Kaplan's 69 Trans Am Javelins. The spoiler was adjustable. Mark Donohue designed the duck tail spoiler used on the 70 TA Javelins.
Enjoy your videos, but the music between segments sounds like something from a safety training video.
Thanks for your opinion!
I lived many years just down the street from the AMC plant. All the HVAC units were replaced like 4 years before Chrysler tore the factory down. It sits as a brownfield to this day. (Kenosha)
Gorgeous AMX Javelin
You missed the Von Piranha AMX!
You forgot the Gremlin 401 XR.
Value is going to keep going up
Amazing.
No IKA Torino? It was a AMC Rambler American with a Pininfarina redesign and it was used for racing until these days
The Torino was built with a Kaiser Jeep designed SOHC inline six. Undersquare it featured camshaft with one lobe per cylinder. With hemispherical combustion chambers.
The "Torinos" being raced today are pure race chassis with some sheet metal hung on them. They are powered by 4.0 blocks that have been heavily modified. DOHC 4 valve heads. Dry sump oiling system with displacement reduced to 3.0 liters iirc. Around 500 hp fed from twin 2 bbl Weber downdraft carbs. The Fords and Chevys run a very similiar head design. The Dodges run the 4.0 based motor. There are some people in the US who would love to get their hands on some of the heads. No luck so far.
Blue , from casper wy like both versions. Never would have painted one blue but it wast bad.
AMX3 ?
Not exactly a production car. Basically all prototypes.
The Rambler SC/Rambler was not a muscle car. It was a pony car.
It's good ..but at the end it only hursts
good luck finding parts for any of these..lol
I have a 1970 javelin and trust me its not fun lmao
funny! ai! says foot pounds, reads pound feet. AI is cancel culture!
Truth teller seems as rare as the cars?
Free pizza anyone???
