Some years ago, Yat Ming did this excellent diecast replica of the AMC Machine, from one of the peak years of the muscle car era. I have this model in both white and in red. They are great looking cars and sensational diecasts.

Mike, nice photos. I have the white one. I wish some one had made the 1969 Rambler AmerIcan SC.

Magnificent photos Mike. Love 'em ALL!

...it's not a bad model but it's one I don't have. 😔

@grockwood Just as an aside, these two are currently available in 1/64 scale. The Rebel comes in red and silver choices as well.

Yat Ming did a great job with this 1/18 diecast model and it is quite an excellent value at it's price point. I remember it was a rather unexpected and welcome 1/18 scale diecast at the time.

Jack, I forgot about the 1/64 versions. I don't have the Rambler you showed,but I have a drag car version and I have a couple of Rebels.

The only omission on the Yat Ming is the red, white and blue under the grill that completes the "The Machine" livery.

Those Johhny Lighting "1/64" look pretty good. Rich, I always love to see those factory-correct enhancements! Should I ever acquire one of these I will surely do the same........ ..... and open the trunk. 😉 😉 😉

I have the Machine in 1/18 scale and the Scrambler in 1/43 scale. Last year we had an example of each in 1/1 scale. I've always been fond of the Scrambler.

"Last year we had an example of each in 1/1 scale."
Qualify this please Bob. You mean friends of yours have these, or they were at the same car show you were, or.....??

Mike, that red w/black hood looks really sharp.

@rich-sufficool Other color options were available in 1970 - even with the red & blue stripes - so I guess "Red" is not so far-fetched, just rare. Most AMC Rebel Machines were, of course, white (blue & red ).

Rich, it does look very good in red, too ! I think both AMC (and perhaps Yat Ming in 1/18), may have made another color or two available for order, too, maybe black and also a deep blue edition. In all cases, it is a very good looking automobile from the muscle-car era.
