Legendary American Muscle Cars

8. 1970 AMC Rebel Machine
In 1970, American Motors Corporation (AMC) released a heavily muscled version of their popular Rebel model aptly called The Machine. This beast of a car featured a 390 cubic-inch, V8 engine with 340 horsepower and 430 pound-foot of torque. The Motorcraft carburetor required to feed that massive engine was so powerful it required high octane fuel to run. The car came in such flashy colors as Electric Blue, Big Bad Red, and Frost White, and, for a limited time, the three were featured together in a patriotic trim package.
