- Dennis fires up a 1969 SC Rambler and a 1970 Rebel Machine, a couple of the most unsung muscle cars ever. And yet still striking. You know em when you see these paint schemes. Familiar yet different. And both AMC! More punch than most people realize, with 390 engines.
The 1970 Rebel Machine was a 1 year only model, only 2500 ever made. Red, white and blue all around, and a touch of Talladega in the rear quarter, it's a taste of real American "street" muscle.
But that SC Rambler was built to drag! These went from the showroom to the strip. And this one has seen some action. A collaboration between Hurst and AMC, this lightweight beast is pretty raw. A couple of rare rides!

I worked at the dealership and got to beat on an SC and a Machine. My 401 BBB 70 AMX came from the dealership also. I purchased it in December of 77 and I still own it today.
Sounds like you are an AMC man through and through. I've always owned them too. But never either one of these cool cars. Lots of AMX and SST Javelins. I still have my 71. Wish I had all of them back,
I worked @ an AMC Dealer in 1969 for about 2 weeks and feel lucky to have driven an AMC SC Rambler😊 BTW I had GTO's...And a 421 4 spd Bonneville...a Cpl fast Mopars but the Rambler was a SCREAMER!!.
My brother graduated from us navy school in 1974. A bunch of us drove out to Chicago to take him out for a few days. We went to the holiday inn Kenosha Wisconsin. I could not believe the amount of rambler hot rods cruising Friday night's.
My dad Dennis bought the 69 S/C new in the red white and blue A scheme when he got home from Vietnam, great car!
AMC's best years period.
Learned to drive in me mom's '64 Rambler American 220. 199 flathead. 😂😂
To this day when the Rambler Boys showed up to the Big 3 party with those two beasts and the occasional AMX and Jav's...man didn't that just ruin their day! Long live AMC MUSCLE.
One of my favorite episodes. I'm a huge AMC fan!
The last time I saw an AMC SC Rambler I was 10yrs old and it was a neighbour in our street who had one and he took really good care it and that was the only time I saw one.( he also had an AMC Hornet too)
nice AMC's , rly understated cars of their day and now they're actually picking up in value like rockets
A classmate bought one new, in high school. Still has it.
Still one of my favorites to drive.
Amazing cars
Scrambler Rambler my dream car! Thanks MCC!
I just had to watch it again. Thanks Dennis 😁. I got to run in dads 69 scrambler.
I've seen an original AMC Scrambler myself I remember right where it's sitting at to the thing is pretty cool
I should have bought one of these when they came out.....the Ramblers at first but when guys figured out how nice they ran....it was too late. The cars weighed about as much as a cigarette butt and they did run. The hood scoop was very functional in that it was up above the dead air that stuck to the hood and, thus increased the amount of air entering it. Very good design!
After seeing one of these on the strip back in the day this sure brings back memories. It’s definitely one of the greatest of the little understood factory machines the other I remember so well is the 66 and 67 W-30 442, not easy to forget !
30 over and 60s radials. This car pulls hard.
It's great that performance is still part of car history. 😅
Before Dad and Chris rebuilt the car Dad put a rock in the trunk. Needed more traction
😅
think I owned nine Ramblers,two door,four door and wagons but all mine were six cylinder cars.always wanted a SC/Rambler but never got the opportunity... beautiful bodied car,I must say!
I didn't hear it mentioned at the time, or read in the comments, but one could still order the Machine package on the 1971 Matador. It didn't come with the custom red, white and blue paint, or hood scoop and tach. nor any identifying Machine lettering. It did come with the SST trim package, that got you the two door hardtop, bucket seats with either 3 speed automatic on the column, or the 4-speed manual on the floor. The Machine package also got you, 15 "X 7" slot style steel wheels, E60X15 raised white letter, Polyglass Good Year tires. The 401 4 barrel V-8 with dual exhaust that was rated 330 horse, but could have actually been closer to 350 horse with the new, free flow exhaust manifolds, dog leg heads, 10.2 compression and the type 2 cam. Also included in the Machine package were, space saver spare tire, heavy duty handling package, with power disc breaks along with either 3.54 or 3.91 twin grip rear axle. No tachometer was offered, which was odd with the said machine package. Some have estimated that some where from between 35 and 50 1971 Matadors, were ordered and built with the Machine Package. There would be no way of identifying any of the 1971 Machines built, except from the actual build sheet, if any of these cars do still exist. In the 1971 AMC car brochure, a beautiful Matador SST in red, with a black vinyl top is pictured, what an absolute killer Machine this would have made.
Great episode. Nice to see AMC's featured. Nice looking cars.
Had the chance to buy a base model Rambler for cheap back in the 90's. I kick myself in the ass for not buying it and making an SC/Rambler out of it.
Both beautiful cars. I have a relative that has the same type of cars. I love AMC and always will.
Nice!!! All this collection needs is a Mark Donahue Javelin!
Thanks, Joel Lange, and Dennis: good stuff,and history..,Interestingly, forgot,Ferdinand Indiana ,IS WAY DOWN SOUTH , past LAGOTEE**, etc( I am from Warsaw IND area, now Helena Valley MT)... Anyways, the dealer where I bought my 70 Dodge Coromet 500(383/330, auto) had a RWB MACINE THROUGH before I bought my Coronet 500... it was a little to colorful for us to buy ...retrospect should have got the Machine .efc. good using and Drives....
What a beautiful house and land.
Not a big block. All AMC V-8s have a 4.750" bore center which is big block territory with reasonably short strokes. The 401 is the longest at 3.680"
The last SC/Rambler I looked I realized just how small they were for the time. What's even rarer is the 67 Rouge with a 343, 4 speed.
Rear discs were a dealer option. They'd pull one gee stops
Wish these cars could actually have aftermarket parts available for them, would make it so much easier to maintain them, make it more viable to use them as daily drivers if someone wanted to. Because seriously, AMC REALLY made some amazing cars back in the day, i'd love to own a Rebel Machine of my own some day, or a Rebel in general with a 401.
Awesome that the javelin won the trans am series.
The Machine was not a light car, they weighed close to 3,800 lbs. Also, had a friend who bought a machine in 72 or 73 and it was a later model year and was painted a forest green from the factory.
You ought to restore the tachometer in your Rebel Machine.
Roofline at the C-pillar looks like a 68 Plymouth Fury hardtop.
I've always thought AMC made sexy muscle cars..
My budd i ran with as a juvie he had all of em. When he had the rambler it had a column shift standard it was easy to speed shift. It was a straight 6 but it did haul ass. He had a sst hornet we ran 60's and cragars classics on it would do the forward reverse speed shift torque command automatic.
Burn out forwards till it quit spinnin then hit reverse till it quit spinnin and never fucked the trans or u joints up.
He had a rebel wagon. And then a sst javelin. We pulled up a gremlin threw its motor in the jav. He had a pacer and later a matador but we never could get them started.and they looked nicer and newer than the others he had.
There was an actual AMC Scrambler, the Jeep CJ8 of 1981 through 1986.
Rambler 440 used to be assembled in Iran in 70s.

Perhaps the wires being unplugged had something to do with the Rebel’s tach not operating…
A 350 stroker is a car length short.
I wish you could just let it have it in the quarter mile. And give the time.
Just a poor Indiana farmer and his hotrods.
I think the weight is off I have a 4 door rambler is 2500 lbs
I'm sorry but why do they always have to spot light a rich person?
Fuck off fudgepax
Because poor people never show off their 25 car collection.
@@markg7030 lmao
Who can afford these cars anymore? They’re priced out of most people’s price range
No offense this might be a rich dude, but dam he's got class in his cars🔥
I’ll take the Rambler over the Rebel
