1970 AMC Rebel review from North America
"The AMC has the best combination of great qualities"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with my AMC yet, though I haven't drove it far at all.
There was seat wear badly on the front seat when I first bought it.
General comments?
Well I have hot rodded it once, and it moves like a dream.
I have racing tires on my Rebel, and it still burns out when I hit the gas, no matter where you're at.
I fully rebuilt my AMC from top to bottom; that's why it took 7 years from the time I bought it to get it on the road.
The only problem I have had is the dash fabric is rolling up at the front from the heat over the years.
When I found my AMC, I was amazed that there was only surface rust on it, and the body was completely solid.
I think my car is pretty rare, cause I have the four door family model, and it has the sport package under the hood.
