What color was the AAR originally? Any odd options?

Did you save the original blown motor?

You have two great cars. The AMC Rebel Machine is just as rare as the AAR! (only 1512 built)
I had a friend who had a "Scrambler" with the 390, 4 speed back in the day (fast).
I too turn 70 this year (goes by too quickly) and owned my A66 vert since 1979 (finally restoring the car the last few years after sitting in storage since 1984)
My wife said the same thing; "get the car done already so we can go to car meets and shows"
Looking forward to pics of your work on the AAR!

Also the bug guy comes from my wife’s 63 VW Bug project, That’s going to be in the works later this year but I’ll probably get it done before the other’s, Happy wife happy life !!!
