That's a AMC Rebel SST.

It's a standard 1967 AMC Rebel. The SST came with a molding insert that looked like a scoop, just ahead of the rear wheels. The "Machine" wasn't introduced until '70. The tip off for being a '67 is the door handles. Starting in '68 they were flush mounted.

My first guess was an AMC product. But I do not know too many of them, and I knew it was not a Gremlin so I guessed AMX and googled a picture. Nope I was wrong. I was however correct on the year as my first guess was 1967. Why 1967? It has no side marker lights or reflectors. I think those became standard in 1968.

It is a pretty good looking car, nice clean and simple lines.

Should have known you old farts would know what it was :thu
Beautiful car that looks like several different cars IMO. I thought it was a MOPAR.

LOL Ain't it strange how AMC gets so little respect, but in reality they have some decently cool cars (e.g. AMX, Javelin, Rebel)! Of course, I guess with models like the Pacer and Gremlin the disrespect is a little deserved too!

Whats the deal with these old AMC's? Were the production numbers really low? I rarely see any and when I do, I usually think its a pretty cool car! How are they value wise? Its gotta be tough to restore one with lack of parts!

Oh, and don't knock the Gremlin!
Here's another AMC/Rambler you don't see very often. The Marlin.Kinda looks a bit like a 66 Charger. Even back in the day these cars were scarce. I worked with a guy back home that had an AMX with the rear seat delete in it. He swapped out the AMC block for a Mopar. Most of the time it was the Gremlin/Hornet that you saw the most of.

Your friends AMX must have been a 71 or later. The 68 - 70 AMX's didn't have a rear seat.
The man who taught me how to autox had a 69 AMX (forest green with white stripes and a tan interior, 390 and a 4 speed) and it was very cool.

Agree, the Marlin is actually a pretty cool car. No performance to speak of, but tons in the looks department! The interior is pretty cool!! :thu IIRC the front seats fully recline, there's a center console but with armrests that fold up/down for the front and rear seats."KTJMcG" said:Here's another AMC/Rambler you don't see very often.
