Back in the day, there were 3 AMC cars in my neighborhood. A 1969 Rebel Machine, a 1968 AMX, and a Rambler Scrambler. All were strong running cars, but, the peer presure from the big 3 guys, along with a conflict with a telephone pole for the Scrambler, replaced them in a short time frame. The Rebel disapeared in about 2 years, and never saw the owner again. The Scrambler's owner survived his confrontation with the pole,(even without an airbag) but, never bought another Muscle car. The AMX had its 390 and AMC rear axle replaced with a Chevy 396 375 HP, and 12 bolt from a Camaro. The owner won many street races, until somebody asked to see what a 390 AMC engine looked like. LOL!! End of street racing career! Ahhhh,.. the good old days, when cars were fast and women were faster.
