[Photon440]

One of American Motors' early attempts at a factory drag car, this 1967 Rebel was built up by the engineers at Kenosha in 1966. Featuring a 500 hp. 390 (an engine not available in AMC cars until 1968) its best time-slip was 10.60 at Great Lakes Dragway, Wisconsin. Topel was the dealership name.


One of the first cars to use parts from the 'Group 19' catalog (AMC's performance parts listing), Vic Edelbrock designed that intake specially for AMC engineering. Two Holley's sit on top. A Warner T-10 four speed and a 5.00 rear gear ratio got things hopping.

The first of the AMC cars to sport the red, white and blue paint scheme that was popular in later years.

A sporty looking car for 1967.

I forgot to add that the reason for the bronze paint under the hood is because the car was built from a rollover wreck; almost every piece came from spare parts. The body was cobbled together by a local car builder named Dennis Porcaro, who recalled "It was pretty funny. The body was gold. The doors were green, the hood and fenders were another color, and so was the trunk."
