1967 AMC Rebel SST

1967AMC Rebel SST

This is a unique vehicle, you will be sure to have the only one on your block! Repainted in 2010 in original Matador Red with a nicely refreshed black interior it is sure to turn heads! It has won many local car shows and cruise-ins and events like that always start up conversations with "what is this?!?!" or "I've never seen one of these!". She starts runs and drives as good as she looks and turns a lot of heads. She is ready for the next owner to love her. Originally from California, she comes with the documentation seen in the photos including original pink-slip, brochures, pamphlets, service manual, receipts and build documentation. (Trophies not included). She is very roomy inside and she even has 4 seat belts and ready for the family. She leaks nothing and is as clean underneath as she is top side.

As with any car that is 55 years old, she has a few flaws. If I was keeping her I would replace the rear shocks, she has a few small swirls in the paint and minor paint flaws from driving her I notice when waxing her I would have buffed out and the dash is cracked. She is not perfect, but she shows so well and is a blast to drive! A great higher end driver quality car or local car show / cruise night winner ready to drive and show. Built in Kenosha, WI., classic AMCs that don't say Javelin or AMX in this condition are seldom available.

From Wikipedia: The 1967 Rambler Rebel by American Motors was a completely new design from its predecessor, the Rambler Classic. Now a largercar riding on a two-inch (50-mm) longer 114-inch (2,896mm) wheelbase, the width was also increased by nearly 4 in (100mm) to enlarge interior passenger space and cargo capacity. The Rebel had as much interior space as full-sized cars from Ford and GM. The new body design was in sharp contrast to its predecessor's "straight-edge" design. The Rebel featured as mooth, rounded appearance with sweeping rooflines, a "Coke-bottle" body with a shorter rear deck, and greater glass area for increased visibility. However, the design "themes" such the "hop-up" fenders became so pervasive across the industry that the all-new 1967 Rebel was criticized because "viewed from any angle, anyone other than an out-and-out car buff would have trouble distinguishing the Rebel from its GM, Ford, and Chrysler Corp. competition."[7]American Motors was staying abreast of the fashion and the Rebel was the first "family car with style that rivaled function."[8]

A new safety-oriented instrument panel featured a steering column designed to collapse under impact, and the gauges and controls were grouped in a hooded binnacle in front of the driver with thedashboardpushed forward and away from the passengers.

The Rebel models were similar to the senior Ambassador in that they shared the same basicunitbody(platform) aft of the cowl. However, the Rebel's front end had an entirely new concept with a "venturi" grille motif indie castmetal, while its rear end featured a simple design with inward-curved taillights. Rebels came in the base550and deluxe770models, with a high-lineSSTavailable only as a two-door hardtop.

Starting with the 1967 models, American Motors offered theindustry's most comprehensive warranty up to that time: two-years or 25,000miles (40,000km) on the entire automobile, and five-years or 50,000 miles(80,000km) on the engine and power train. American Motors continued its industry exclusive ceramic-coated exhaust system as standard.[9]

To further emphasize the durability and prove the reliability of the new Rebels, an absolute record of 30 hours flat was set in the long-distance Baja run down Mexico'sBaja California Peninsulain 1967.[10]A hole in the transmission pan slowed them down, but the endurance racers were able to get the car to a town to get a new one.[11]

Offering traditional Rambler economy with six-cylinder engines andoverdrivetransmissions, the Rebel could also be turned "into a decent budget-priced musclecar" with the 343cuin (5.6L), the largest available engine from AMC in 1967.[12]A road test byCar Lifemagazine of a Rebel SST hardtop equipped with the 343 V8 and automatic transmission turned in a0-60 mph(0to 97km/h) time of nine seconds, and reached a top speed of 110 miles per hour (177km/h). A road test byPopular Sciencefound similar performance times and noted that their Rebel SST was the quietest-riding of the tested cars, but with the drawback of wind noise.[13]The magazine also praised Rebel's reclining backrests for both front seats that reduce fatigue on long trips while a co-driver can stretch out and relax, as well as AMC's self-tightening seat belts that aid in buckling and in comfort.[14]A survey conducted byPopular Mechanicsafter owners had driven their cars 678,996 miles (1,092,738km) concluded: "in all, the report indicates that most Rebel owners are delighted with their purchases."[15]Journalist and automobile critic,Tom McCahill, summarized hisMechanix Illustratedroad test," there isn't a better intermediate size car sold in the United States than the 1967 Rebel".
