I just got my DeAgostini (Ixo) diecast of the 1970 AMC Rebel "The Machine", resplendent in the color scheme of white with red and blue accents. It was the most powerful AMC product of the time, developed with input from Hurst and having a 340-hp 390 engine fed by a Motorcraft 4-barrel. Nice write-up in Wikipedia here

Looks great!

Did it come from overseas or is there a U.S. vendor? I have a couple of models from that manufacturer that I had to order from Spain or Italy.

@moe-parr There is no US dealer that I am aware of selling DeAgostini, Altaya, or any other partworks/subscription series as a primary retailer. Some may pick up a few and sell them as a secondary merchant (via ebay, etc.) Mine came from the Netherlands.

Interesting, Harv, and the first one I have seen.  I will start looking.  FYI, here's a kit I built a while back that has some similarities.
