1st Dealer Drag Super Stocker 1967 AMC Topel Rambler Rebel & Ride on My Car Story with Lou Costabile

If you enjoy the videos and would like to Sponsor me on Patreon, my Creator link is www.patreon.co...
On "My Car Story" we're in the Suburbs of Minneapolis MN on 6-2-22.
We're looking at a 1967 American Motors Rambler Rebel in Red, White & Blue Paint. The car comes with the Dealership build drag race 390 CI engine, and a manual transmission.
The car's Owner is Fred Aherns. Fred’s had this car since 2006. Fred shares he traded three cars to get this car. It then needed to be restored, which took 6 years to get this prototype car back to the condition it was in when the Topel Rambler Dealership people were assigned to work on the car. Workers used “Group 19” performance parts to build this Drag Car. This cars best time was recorded at 10.6 in the ¼ mile at Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove WI.
ENJOY!

Hi Brian SD, This car when it starts will clearly wake all the neighbors, so I'd say this car is an afternoon car. Happy to read you "Love it!" :-) You're welcome, Lou.

[@godsowndrunk1118]

Cool car...I didn't know Edelbrock made a cross ram for the AMC's , very cool....the lines remind me of the 68 Roadrunner, which reminds me that the 65 Marlin also predated the 66 Charger...it seems that Mopar must have been peeking in the AMC factory's back window...

[@audieconrad8995]

Without question!!

[@loucostabile]

Seems to be some similar designs between the two Companies.

[@carmudgeon7478]

My thoughts exactly, especially the grille and taillights. Now that I think of it, one of the bonuses for Chrysler when they bought AMC was AMC's rapid design team. Maybe they swiped styling cues from Plymouth studios and got it to market first.🤔

[@czechmate6916]

I always noticed the same thing I figured Chrysler had an insider or they were really jealous, I love the AMC cars they were ahead of the time.

[@Philc231]

[@audieconrad8995]

Lou, although you cannot see the enormous grin on my face, this vid has already made my day at 7:30 a.m.. As a lifelong AMC enthusiast I was not aware of the existence of this beast. It does not take more than a casual glance to see where the styling of the '68 Plymouth Satellite/Roadrunners came from. Early on there was a lot of snickers from the Big-3 guys when the Rambler boys showed up untill...they started seeing their taillights.... Group-19 parts were pretty much a secret untill somebody started asking what the hell is under the hood. Those 390's were absolute beasts - especially with the cross-ram set-up. Love it... thx for your continued features of the little guy Lou. Long live AMC muscle!💪

[@loucostabile]

Hi Audie, HAPPY TO READ YOU HAVE AN ENORMOUS GRIN :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing. Lou

Hi Richard, Happy to share this 1 of 1 "Monster" with you :-) Glad you're along for the ride, Lou

[@brianoettel2594]

My dad (Skip) and his best friend (Ken) we're the original builders of this car. My dad was contacted by group 19 at his shop (Skips automotive), to do the build due to my dad's reputation as an engine builder and very successful drag racer. Myself and Ken's son still have the original race team jackets as well as the replica model and world of wheels trophy. Fred did an incredible job on the build and even gave my dad a ride prior to his passing. Truly a piece of history.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Brian, Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Lou

[@MAGronemeyer]

This 1967 Rebel reminds me of my aunt and uncle's 1968 Ambassador SST. The only difference was that theirs wasn't equipped for racing. As for this example, I was shocked to see a 390 under the hood rather than the original 343 engine. It sounds awesome whenever he'd wind it out through the gears! He has one fine piece of machinery! I also noticed that the steering wheel was an Ambassador wheel in that Rebel. Wow! 💚

[@audieconrad8995]

I caught the steering wheel too!

[@paulkirkland1535]

Lou;This ones interesting. AMC was a challenged company due to financial restraints so they had to make do with what they had. Too bad they're not around anymore as they were a decent car for the money. They were competing with the big three which wasn't easy but they sure gave them a run for their money and this "one off" drag car proves that. For AMC this was a troublemaker when it went up against the "pony cars" of the era. Their V8's were strong engines lots of torque that would set the drag strip on fire if the tires were barbequed long enough! I'm sure this car brings back great memories for Fred as he was around when this was made. I wouldn't mind having an AMX Javelin if I could afford and find one. In Canada they're all rusted out so I suppose a trip down south or out west to California would reveal one one day. God bless you both😄🙏👍💪

Too cool! I also did not know that car existed. My Father-in-law bought a Rebel Machine new in 1970 and told me how fast that car would go. He said there were two at the dealer in Bend ,Oregon and that the town sheriff bought the other one. He scared himself in it one too many times and figured he was going to die in it if he didn't get rid of it, so he sold it. He's passed away now, but this car reminded me of him and that story.

You asked about the lack of shocks on top of the shock tower area, that's because up until 1970, AMC cars used a trunnion front suspension. A 1970 and up Rebel (and then Matador), would have had the shock stud showing through. I'm surprised the owner didn't mention that.

My friend had an AMC Ambassador wagon back in the 80s. It had bad trunions and always breaking down. We called it the embarrasser.

[@loucostabile]

"the embarrasser." That's funny!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

The Rumblin Rambler!!

[@loucostabile]

Nice !

[@scrappyjunk8793]

great sound on the 390 clutch pin or spring needs some spit on it lol

[@loucostabile]

Hi scrappy junk, Happy to read you what you heard, Lou

[@davidlackovich946]

Great Great car Lou..How do you find these owners and the gems they drive? AMC/Rambler built some fast stylish cars during that period. It's a shame they weren't more popular..seems everyone favored the big three..GM, FORD and MOPAR..what a shame! Fred..happy motoring..keep up the good work Lou.thnx!

[@loucostabile]

Hi David, Happy to read "Great Great car" :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou

[@automatedelectronics6062]

That's a cool Rambler, Thank you. If a person shifts that slow on acceleration they just lost the race. lol

[@larryhogan3-16]

The taillights and grill remind me of a 1968 Road Runner 🤔

[@loucostabile]

Hi Larry, Thank you for viewing and sharing what you notice, Lou

[@Slowgroovin]

A lot of Mopar styling. I find vintage drag cars particularly interesting.

[@audieconrad8995]

Wrong! AMC styling. This is a '67. Plymouth look-alikes started in '68.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Restless Classic, Thank you for viewing and sharing what you notice. My pleasure being able to share this drag car with you, Lou
