Gary,

Welcome to the AMC-list ... you have quite THE find! Not many Rebels came through with the equipment you have! Only 1% of all Rebels made in model year 1967 got the 4-speed. Even power disk brakes were not very common on Rebels, just 2% of them all. Similar to the Tilt wheel option, it came on only 3%. Yes, it was a more popular option on Ambassadors, but not often found on the Rebel models. You can check the production numbers and options here:

I also like your Flamingo Burgundy finish because it not the typical "run-off-the-mill" paint. It is so very much "1967" AMC! Please, please don't repaint it a common color, such as Matador Red.

I am not sure what the rear mounted antenna is all about. It is not listed in the accessory booklet:

However, you can find more information on all AMC equipment and options for 1967 models here:

Once again, enjoy your new Rebel!
