From Trans Ams to Rebel Racers, this unique assembly of cars is one of the most remarkable AMC collections ever seen.

AMC (American Motors Corporation) has always been celebrated for its diverse production range, spanning muscle cars to sports cars. This innovative brand managed to compete with the likes of the Corvette, outshine many Mopars on the racetrack, and achieve impressive sales figures nationwide. Despite their successes, AMC's run was cut short by the longevity of models such as the Mustang, Barracuda, Camaro, and Firebird. Today, AMC enthusiasts across the United States frequently gather to honor the brand, although few can boast owning one of its top models. One collector, however, stands out with a flamboyant and impressive collection.

Among the standout vehicles in this collection is a 1969 AMC SS/AMX, a prime example of the brand’s prowess on the dragstrip. This car is a factory drag racer that claimed the Northwest Regional Championship in the NHRA three times and thrilled fans at numerous events nationwide. With only 52 units ever produced, it is a rare gem for collectors.

The collection also includes several S/C Ramblers, equipped with a powerful 315 horsepower 6.4-liter, 390 cubic inch V8 engine, 500 Magnum steel wheels, and a limited-slip differential. Additionally, a stunning 1970 AMC Trans AM Javelin, one of only 100 models made, further enriches this collection. Another highlight is "The Machine," a vehicle with styling akin to the Rebel of the time, originally designed to succeed the S/C Rambler for the 1970 model year. This unique gathering of automobiles epitomizes the best of AMC's offerings and stands as a singularly remarkable collection.
