what a cool, unique moment of manufacturing of the red white and blue theme... no one but the American Motors Corporation could or would do something this cool.



 Dan Curtis, owner of the five RWB warriors pictured here, owns AZ AMC Restorations in Peoria, Arizona. 

Dan’s love for AMCs dates back to the ’68 390 four-speed AMX he street-raced in Massachusetts as far back as 1971. He confesses that he initially dismissed the whole RWB concept as “silly,” but has held on to an A-scheme SC/Rambler since the late ’90s. 

Dan claims he never sought the RWBs out, but rather accumulated them over time - almost accidentally. The B-scheme SC/Rambler was purchased from noted AMC authority Mark Fletcher, co-author of the Hurst Equipped book, 

The SS/AMX was offered to Dan in 2018, its RWB status was incidental to it being the final SS/AMX built. 

Six months later, a friend offered Dan the T/A Javelin in a part-trade offer. “This was late 2018 or early 2019,” Dan says. Soon, “I realized I had four out of the five - I only needed a Rebel Machine to complete the set. 

Other than his own, “I’ve never seen all five RWB cars together in a private collection.” All five of the cars seen here have been sorted out by his shop, including the installation of some genuine vintage over-the-counter AMC Group 19 parts under the hoods for a little extra kick. All of them are now ready to drive at a moment’s notice

Very rare AMC muscle cars together, and that is infinitely more rare. A Rebel Machine, a RWB AMX, and a Hurst SC/Rambler all parking together is somehting you'll probably never see again

Hurst SC/Ramblers are rare, and the red white blue color scheme is unusual among cars... but not among AMC models... the car behind the SC/Rambler is the Red White Blue color scheme AMX that honors the Craig Breedlove Bonneville record holding endurance trials, and the Hurst Super Stock AMX drag racing cars.

For a gallery of just that red white blue AMX http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/09/68-amx-found-in-newspaper-ad-for-1000.html
down in the bottom photo at the lower left corner is the tail of the Rebel Machine (it's not easy getting some cars in a photo unless the owners are ready for a photo shoot.)
