Re: [AMC-list] grant rebel engine ?



That's it. I was trying to find a way to buy it several years ago. I think that was around 2002. The guy who owned it then. in a burb of Chicago, had the engine and a lot of other parts that went with it which are not listed in the new offering. I know there was another set of heads like that and a few cranks and a bunch of other stuff that would have brough several thousand dollars own it's own. Back them I think the deal was $6500 or $7000 for everything. Obviously the engine would be worth more with the car and vice versa. If I was the guy in Louisiana, I'd have bought it back then when it surfaced...at any cost. The owner told me that he recovered the engine from a scrap yard near him. Someone loaded it up and hauled it in for scrap and a few bucks.

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.
