(Pics) 1970 AMC Machine

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.  😉 😉 😉

Thought you'd sneak that past me? LOL

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.

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.
