ABANDONED 35 YEARS! Will This AMC Rebel RUN and DRIVE Again?

“For Christ also suffered for sins once for all time, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;" -1 Peter 3:18
The AMC Rebel is one of the coolest cars from the muscle car era. I finally got my hands on one, will it run and drive after sitting for 35 years? Stick around to the end of the video to find out!

Love the AMC inline 6’s😁 Lots of people forget that “jeep’s 4.0” is actually an amc inline 6, one of the most reliable engines ever produced.

[@davidsawyer1599]

No doubt. There are some hardcore AMC folks that almost worship these engines. The AMC 6s only. Not the Chrysler variation.

[@Celician83]

Was thinking this would be a good candidate for a 4.0L swap

[@thunderray1987]

So is Chrysler's 225 Slant Six, just as reliable. Ford's and Chevy's inline 6's just never held up like AMC/Jeep's & Mopar's six-cylinder engines did.

[@richardbates2367]

Honestly where Jeep be without the mpw from Ford, the gpw from Willy's and also the AMC 258 and 401 both AMC motors...

[@richardbates2367]

I don't know about that as far as Ford's go the 200,249, and 300 are fairly decent durable L6 motors ..

[@MeesterSteefy]

Unpopular opinion: This might be the coolest car you've saved. However that whole row of cars you have is pretty fantastic

[@pete79602]

AMC’s are completely under appreciated. I have a incredible 71 AMX.

Nope, you're spot on

[@shabadoo24]

AMC vehicles deserve to be rescued

[@benjamincresswell3713]

I have a lot of respect for the AMC line and have fond memories of racing against them. All except for the "fishbowl" car. The Javelin, AMX, Rebel Machine, Scrambler Rambler, Matador. All were sleek and if you tweaked them they were no slouch. A close friend of mine had a Gramlin X 304 that we tweaked. It got a Holley Intake & 650 with Hooker underbody headers and a cam. We got a junk yard bell housing and had a local welder move a bolt hole so a Borg Warner T-10 would bolt up, then put the Javelin 10-1/2" clutch in front of it. We shortened the drive shaft to fit and to top it all off, he bought a Hurst Super Shifter for it. We completely changed the personality of that little Gremlin. It pulled great 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear with 3.54 axle, but kind of fell off in 4th. I had a mediocre GTX w/ dana 3.55 4speed and he could almost keep up with me until we hit 4th. So I have a lot of respect for those AMC's. One of my uncles worked for the state of Michigan and they gave him a Rebel one year. I always thought it looked remarkably similar to a 1st gen Roadrunner. I absolutely hated the day when AMC went belly up, and Iacocca got it, but welcomed the Jeep line into the family where once was under the management of Walter P. from about 1911 to 1919 under Buick. That's my story about AMC. ben/ michigan avid Woodward Avenue and Gratiot Avenue racer

[@Xmetalfanx]

first time i recall ever seeing one of those and ... i have to say i LOVE the look of it already. Glad its getting TLC .... the more newer cars all look the same to me ... the more i feel older cars "have character"

I used to have a 67 rebel and I loved it. My girlfriend was driving it one night and hit a dang tree and totaled it. 😢

As a Ford guy it's nice seeing AMCs getting some love and I think they are very under-rated. My dad has a restored 1969 AMC AMX and my friend has a 1982 AMC Eagle SX4 with a 304 V8 swapped into it then an 82 Eagle Wagon for parts (it may also be revived one day)

[@andrewmeadows2596]

Cool car, be good to see it restored than just run and drive.

[@wedontknowwhy]

Just what I needed to finish off my Monday

[@stevevogelman3360]

I owned many 232s. I’m from Kenosha, world headquarters for AMC. I had quite a few growing up. We called em Kenosha Cadillacs. But the 232 is a very tough little engine. Very worth while. Good luck with her.

[@eddieristau4214]

Yup, I'm from Kenosha too. 48 years old. Grew up seeing these as daily drivers but mostly Hornets, Matador, Concords, Eagles. These old 232's , 258's can run just about forever. Remember the unibodies going down 52nd st from downtown

[@halldorra]

the AMC sixes had very decent low end tourque

[@brandondriskill8809]

I picked up a 69 Rebel last year. It’s my project. 290 V8 auto, white with blue interior.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Please keep it AMC. Their engines are very reliable give a good account of themselves on the road. They run strong for their displacement.

[@brandondriskill8809]

@@scrambler69-xk3kv don’t worry! When I found the original engine seized, I first thought about swapping, but I scraped that idea. I’m building a 304 and 727 to replace the original 290 and BW auto.

So happy to see an AMC revival!

[@andreamills5852]

You should leave six banger .It runs amazing and besides that's the way it came from the factory . It's a unique piece of AMC history .I'm surprised it still has the 232 six in it . Mamaw and Papaw must have ordered this one .

[@richardbates2367]

There's a episode for the Ford tow recovery truck on Dylan's channel too lol

[@danielulz1640]

Yellow with a green interior was a fairly popular color combo in those days. I am sure that car originally had a bench seat. I had a 68 Rebel SST, same body but with a prettier trunk lid and taillights.

[@DylanMcCoolVideo]

Really? That’s wild. I’ve never seen that color combo before.

[@shaunclifton5281]

​@@DylanMcCoolVideoYes, my friend's parents bought a new Chevrolet Caprice that was the same cream yellow with dark green interior.

[@shaunclifton5281]

I Like it. Patch the front fenders nicely, add floor pans, and go 401. 👌

[@DocJ58-OCB]

Dylan, I am a HUGE A.M.C. fan first car at 16 was a 1964 Rambler Classic 550 4door with a 6cylinder and a 3 speed automajik ...lol.... and learned to drive on my dad's 65 Rambler Classic 550 station wagon with a 287 V8 and the same 3 speed auto. I saw near the beginning of the video, when you were in the field rescuing this very cool Ambassador, that there was also an one of the all-time COOLEST cars made, not just by A.M.C., but by any of the North American car companies, an A.M.C. Marlin, the much sexier cousin to the Mopar Barracuda of that middle 60's era... did you do the absolute RIGHT thing and pick it up as well as the Ambassador?... and if I'd watched 5 minutes more, I would have heard you say you were "coming back" for the Marlin....lmao.

[@geebopbaluba1591]

Stick a 401 with a 4 in the floor and fix the rusted frame rails and body panels and you would have a nice 2 door hardtop with some good power. It would make a good burnout car.

[@markskonecki2050]

The easiest v8s to work on the AMC v8, the 6 cylinders aren't to bad either.

[@mtrgv]

This is my thoughts Mr. McCool; there aren't many of these Rebel left at all in the entire country. I would remove and replace the rusted out sections like you did with your Challenger. It will take awhile but you'll be able to find the parts, like the seats, a factory radio, front fenders, rear leaf springs, rear frame rails, etc. As far as the drivetrain you could remove THE 232 IN-LINE SIX and install an AMC 304 C.I. V8

[@tnc7399]

There are shops online. One has all the floor pans and a different one has lots of performance parts and replacement badges. Even vinyl tops and stripes

[@RustyZipper]

Hi, I thought that’d I be first but your popularity has grown immensely! 👏 🏆

[@franklong8573]

If you didn't know it , the wheels are special , think they were called Machine Wheels , mainly found on the Rebel " The Machine " cars. Nice wheels when clean and complete.

[@tnc7399]

They aren't those wheels. First of all this car is 1969, you can tell by the front. But those wheels are very rare and slightly different

[@jamierushing]

Hi Dylan from west Alabama

[@richardjulien8745]

Dylan do you remember the rebel ,THE MACHINE,white with red and blue stripe design,I think it was the same model,it was an iconic muscle car.,keep the good work.

[@DylanMcCoolVideo]

Yes I wish this was a Machine. Still cool though!

[@TheDutchTexan]

THE MACHINE... Well, not really... But almost... Just squint a little! I was very surprised during this episode. And as much as I would like a 360/390 in it there is something to be said about keeping that 6 and maybe hotrod it a bit... Naturally work on the floor, brakes, get those wheels redone and then slap some paint on her. Definitely deserves to survive. And again proving why ICE is superior to EV. You won't be driving off anywhere in an EV that sat for 35 years.

[@1776_Garage]

Brake cleaner down the yap is so bad for them

[@ronaldmiller2740]

I ALWAYS LIKED THE AMC HORNETS ,,HATCHBACK..

[@Brock_Landers]

These 232 (3.8L) "Torque Command" 1 barrel inline sixes produced 145 HP and 215 lb ft of torque and were an extremely smooth engine that was very reliable.

[@thunderray1987]

I love AMC's cars of the 60's & 70's!! My favorites are all the 1967-1978 AMC Rebel/Ambassador/Matador variations! Drop in a 440 big block Mopar or an AMC 390, if you got one.

I'm restoring a 1967 AMC ambassador 990, I absolutely love old AMC from 50s to 70s

[@danieljonhson6367]

On any old engine that's been sitting for a long time you should pour some oil into the cylinders or the intake to get the rings to seat and if you think the compression still isn't good mix some graphite with the oil it'll stick to the scratches in the cylinder walls. Take the plugs out and spin the engine too.

[@Orbacron]

Briar, weld up some floor reinforcement patches, or at least some self tappers and scrap sheet metal. Mabie patch up that frame under the trunk area

[@johnciesielczyk204]

I am from Wisconsin. It's common for AMC's to rust out in the tops of their fenders. Love the look of the car

[@413x398]

I can't believe that white Mustang II wound up back on Death Row.

[@325xitgrocgetter]

We had an AMC Hornet where the fender tops corroded on both sides I recall reading it was a common issue due to how the bodies were prepped during assembly. Also, Shift Command means a Borg Warner Automatic. Torque Command is a Chrysler based Torqueflite starting in 1972.

[@bobsbarnworkshop]

My first car was a 68 Rambler American Rogue with a 232 engine! Silver grey, black vinyl top, red interior!

[@FoundonthestreetUSA]

AMC did not go out of business it was absorbed into Chrysler via an acquisition. Chrysler later reorganized the company utilizing the AMC platform design/engineering model and former AMC executives took Chrysler leadership positions. The 1988 AMC Eagle Premier transformed into the Chrysler LH platform, the basis for all Chrysler automobiles produced through 2005. Jeep became Chrysler Corp's. super brand. not bad for a company that "went out of business"

[@alvinames5041]

WOW Dylan! This is One of Those Kinda Cars You Don't Really See Alot of Anywhere Anymore!! GREAT BUY!!👍🤗⛄️⛄️

[@walkergillette3918]

I'm sorry but this car is horrible

[@drfalcon4102]

the weak point on those cars, was the Borg- Warner trans,,,,, thats why AMC went to Chrysler in 1972..

[@christianbattestin9747]

I actually saw a 1970 Reber "The Machine " in 2016 at a show at the Commack, NY branch of Miller's Ale House. I think a little over 1900 Machines were made, 52 in 1971 when it was Matador based.

[@garyruark9506]

232ci 6 was standard engine. 252 6 was optional along with a host of V8s. The Rebal AMC's high volumn midsize car line, if AMC ever had high volumn.

[@friguy4444]

There's some days I thank the Lord more for the small things than the big. Today I'm grateful for Dylan McCool's channel! But wait. There's more. I think a very cool car like the Rebel (I had a 66 Rambler when I was 18 lol) should be fitted with an engine that is deserving of it's stature! Like an N54! That's right another straight 6 engine! Only this time it's one that will give out Huge power on demand (as long as it's not throwing codes LOL). But honestly why is it that these cars only get like a Small block Chevy or a Ford Windsor 351 or maybe if there's even one to find a 401ci V8 AMC. (Not likely). SO go get a whole engine and drive train from a car there are plenty of around and get the whole computer and wiring harness (Can Bus as well) and throw it into this type of beauty!!! You'll want to keep the BMW ignition and the gauges at least for the install and shove them behind the Rambler dash! But it would fire right up and BOOM Huge HP. Well maybe after a little bit of Tuning but hey why not blow some people away?? Well on second thought maybe the N54 or any other Six Cylinder from our modern cars isn't going to work. After looking a bit harder at the space under that hood I don't think you could get one in there. It look far too small. The 3 liter straight 6 engines of our day are BIG sized engines compared to even the 4.2 6 cyl of the days gone by. But maybe it is just the way the video makes it look?? I don't know.

[@SiteUnscene]

Growing up, my mom taught me to drive stick in her ‘74 AMC Gremlin X. It had a 304 V8 4bbl with a Hurst 4 speed, headers, dual exhaust, posi traction from the factory, That little car was so quick she sold it before I turned 16 so I wouldn’t kill myself in it.

[@dalesmith112]

Wait... What... Dillon bought a car that wasn't built by the Chrysler Corporation ? LOL Of course, AMC and Chrysler were "in bed together" years ago, so... that counts I guess. AMC had several cool looking body styles through the years. Towards the end of their days, they were just an amalgamation of everybody's parts anyways. Cool find D

[@vagabond96h]

It is hard to kill an AMC six.

[@markbernier8947]

I drove an AMC Sportabout (Hornet Wagon) with a straight 6/ auto for several years --- It never broke down and it would run 70-75 mph all day long - It wasn't going to win many drag races vs a V8 but it was cool in its own way --- it was yellow with white doors (an old beater by the time I owned it) --- Don't put a V8 in that AMC, not enough metal left (a V8 might twist the car apart) --- that 6cyl, with some floors/frame bracing, will haul you around for many miles

[@brianwolf692009]

You should take out the seats and remetal the floors. Then reapohlster the back seat and put a split bench seat back into the front. You'll thank me later. Fix the back frame with new metal, for structural support. Fix the holes in the fenders. Pretty much just make it structurally sound. CLEAN THE WINDOWS. Not trying to tell you what to do, just want you to be safe. Since it's been sitting for 35 years, you might want to check all the bearings. Definitely put some oil with the right zinc additives, so as not to spin a rod bearing. Etc. Love this kind of content, just want you to be safe for yourself and everyone else on the road.

[@danielulz1640]

Never underestimate the power of an AMC ohv six! You should try a 258 cid.

[@iangalbraith1258]

Not only does the AMC look really good ..nope, it looks awesome, wonderful, superb ..etc. etc. as it bowls along the highway, you look even better with a wide smile while driving it. There's just those few small snags to fix, like fitting far more comfortable seats, fix the brakes. And loose the Flintstones floor pan ..for your own safety. 'You've got to fix the floor!' I'm not going to be the only one, who's longing to see more of this car, with you in it, again! :-) I. Shane. G.

[@donnatanner359]

put an AMC 390 in it with a T10 4 speed. and it will scare you. Someone at AMC was against making performing cars. 9 out of 10 cars were 6 cylinders. Although I was able to get 300 horse out of a 232. AMC was only able to sell 90 hp 232s.
