I would have a hard time calling the AMC Rebel Machine "Iconic"  :roflsmiley:
Unique .... innovative... different but not iconic. I appreciate AMC's  " attempt" but would much rather have a AMX or Javelin  :2cents:

If an AMC they should have had a '69 AMX or something. 

That is a nice list, but weird, not one Gen 2 Trans Am that could notice.  The '73 SD455 was a stand out when all other muscle cars shied away from big blocks.  Where is the Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am?  :dunno:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
