Just received my copy today. My turtles move faster than the mail around here. At least the lag kept me from getting duped by the April issue! LOL 
 
The new Machine proposal looks a little too much like a Duster for me.

I like the artists rendition myself. They never gave up some of the key features distinguishing it as a Rebel.

I've enjoyed Steve Stanfords views on cars for many years.  This has to be some of his finest work.  I'm using the pictures for wallpaper.  I just saw the new issue of Hot Rod and The Machine is a real beauty!  Thanks Steve and Hot Rod!

I didn't have to read the disclaimer, however, to realize what it was.

Is hoodwinked the right word or maybe naive enough to believe anything.

A similar all black 70 AMX also ruined me for life. I have both articles in my collection. If I build 1 more AMC, it will be a 70 AMX. Not that repro parts are coming out, it is actually possible. I let my Donohue go because I couldn't find good parts to redo it properly. I enjoyed the Hot Rod article for what it was and had no thought that any of it was actually true. I did give me some more customizing ideas, but my Javelin is too far to redesign it now.

Is it okay to post a scanned pic from a 30 year old HotRod magazine ???
 
 
Cool
 
 
I remember that issue and that car. Wonder what ever happened to it....
