Hi Tom,
Actually, My Wife is an authority on AMC Rebel Machines. She became such since she was virtually ignored at Car Shows, even though she does all her own Mechanical work and Detailing.
Rebel number 1 has been hers for many years and she has written several articles about Rebl Machines. Her car has taken "Best Muscle Car" at the Greenwich Concours D'Elegance, Another Best Muscle at Bridgehamptons Concours, and too many others including a showing at Meadowbrook in 04.
She knows her way around a lot of other cars as well.
On the production numbers, There were a total of 1936 Rebel Machines built in 1970, 596 in any of the avialable AMC colors, 14 or 17 depending upon which brochure or dealer book you use. Leaving 1340 Red White and Blue cars. When have been privy to the Actual Factory documents for production through a friend who bought all the AMC records when Chrysler bought them out. They were going to trash it all. My friend has since sold off the Rambler records but hung onto the Javelin, AMX and Machine records.
The National American Motors Drivers and owners association also publishes these numbers as actual.
We have been fortunate enough to meet and befriend a gentleman who worked with Dick Teague in AMC styling through all those years and he verified my friends Factory Documents as the real thing.
There are Only 8 Known Matador Red Rebel Machines, and ours are the only two who are complete and in show condition.
Rebel 1 has been in Collectible Automobile, as well as Hemmings Muscle Machines and a Calendar car for Hemmings Muscle Car Calendar. Rebel 2, was hidden away till we got it.
By the by, My Wifes Rebel has been photographed and engineering drawings done for a 1:18th Die Cast coming out in Sept 06. It will be a Yat Ming Signature Series car. The first Big Die Cast of a Rebel Machine ever.
I have attached a Photo of her 390-4 barrel, Her handiwork detailing shows. The engine compartment itself is the Original Factory Paint. Hinges were refinished as was Block and ancillaries. She does All Our Detailing.
