[AMC-list] grant rebel engine ?

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Neat to see stuff pop up like this....I told Brian, the seller that this could be the 
Grant Rebel engine, or one of them Hayden Proffitt used to campaign....one of the engines 
from the Grant Rebels was a bored out 343 to 443cid and with supercharger, was 1200 
horsepower at 9000rpm according to one of the little press thingies I have here.

Someone emailed me asking about the 68 Grant Rebel...it is in Louisiana, guy bought it off 
National Dragster in I believe 1993 for $800, no drivetrain, sort of body, chassis only, 
and he literally built a barn around the car, so it is immovable.

I tried to get him to bring it to the nationals we did here in 2001 in Houston, but that 
would have meant taking down a wall to bring car out! Didn't happen, nice guy, hope he 
sees that old engine on ebay, which may or may not belong in the Rebel...could be one of 
the Topel Rambler (Kenosha) 343s AMC was testing all their happy Group 19 items on up 
there in 66-68!

I don't know what ever happened to the 67 Crane Industries Grant Rebel car, hopefully 
still out there in someone's collection perhaps.
