Which American automaker produced the 1970 AMC Rebel Machine?

American Motors Corporation produced the 1970 AMC Rebel Machine. The Rebel Machine was AMC’s high-performance version of its intermediate Rebel, introduced for the 1970 model year after the success of the 1969 SC/Rambler.

The car combined a 390-cubic-inch AMC V8 with distinctive red, white, and blue graphics, a functional-looking hood scoop, a hood-mounted tachometer, heavy-duty suspension, and special 15-inch wheels. Its 340-horsepower rating made it one of the strongest regular-production cars AMC had offered.

A common mix-up is confusing AMC with the Big Three automakers: General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler. AMC was an independent manufacturer, although its Rebel competed directly with muscle cars from those larger corporations. “The Machine” was the car’s name or performance designation; American Motors Corporation was the automaker that built it.
