Built from 67-70, the AMC Rebel "The Machine", or Rebel Machine, was one of the first muscle cars. For me, when it comes to muscle cars, there are two categories: Pretty, and ugly. AMC Rebel Machine: Ugly. However, in the world of muscle cars, the uglier usually means the meaner. These things were not built for sex appeal, they were built to go fast... stupid fast. The Rebel Machine came from the factory clad in a red, white and blue paint scheme. It's understated. No?
