Description
This derelict 1958 Rambler Rebel was hidden at the back of a local riding stables in West Chester, in a really poor state.
This was to have been the first mass-produced engine with a transistorized "brain box" fuel injection system. A Rambler Rebel with the optional EFI was tested by Motor Trend, and they recorded this sedan going faster from a standing start than the 1957 Chevrolet Corvette with mechanical fuel injection. However production issues meant that only normally aspirated engines were produced. Nevertheless, a super looking car in its heyday.
