The famous AMC Rebel Machine was discontinued in 1971, but the package lived on a Matador coupe. However, there were no signature red-white and blue color schemes, and the Machine package included steel wheels with performance rubber, heavy-duty suspension, dual exhaust, and a 360 or 401 V8 engine with up to 330 HP. Technically, you could order a Machine package for a station wagon, too, but there are no records of somebody doing that. The Matador Machine was a scarce car, with 50 examples known to be produced.
