Super Rare AMC Rebel Runs Again after 40 Years! | Roadworthy Rescues | MotorTrend 

I think this is a shortened episode specifically for youtube. motortrend is probably trying to get people one their bs streaming service again :/

Even the last episode was cut up too much and it was titled full episode. MT really drains the magic Derrick creates with VGG. But by now, we all know MT lost interest in great content are more focused on the cash now...

@@tinystar3010 They always were, I just think they were slow to catch onto the "make your own streaming service and drive up the price while cranking out crappy entertainment" bandwagon.

this is what happens when you do business with discovery, they ruin everything

Long form is 'best Derek' for sure. But with the dollar comes them commitments and the short form will likely suck in the youngsters as future converts.

Tell motor trend we want to see more progress on the transformation of these vehicles. We don't want to see short cut up video like the kids watch on that Tictak video deal on them brain drain electronic devices

lot of amc people wonder if you even knew the whole story before you did that episode. you fixed up a car for a family of greedy people. his father was out of his mind with his pricing,and he let those cars rot in place. i was there in the 90s and met the old man,he was pricing his cars in the Stratosphere. son never did anything either,and at the Same time i personally was saving amc cars and getting them Back out on the road. basically,doing the same thing you do now,on vid. so,you did all that work,for a whole family who wouldnt do Anything to Save the cars they let rot away. their only claim to fame has been that they were the last dealership,thats it. what they did with the cars should be a crime. Love your show Derek,but this one really hit a personal nerve. next time,maybe research your topics before you do something for someone who doesnt deserve it....at all.

The water whirler.. lmfao

No check the truck no spinning the crank by hand just give it the beans who cares if the flywheel explodes. And a all new braking system wth is going on. Pretty sure u had gears and maybe even Flintstone brakes if needed. New brakes a feller can't believe it.

Only story here is your talent being edited to mediocrity. Hope the dollar is worth it and that it facilitates more VGG content. VGG is where the original fans are. Who is representing your magic (magicals to the initiated) with this platform?

This is like a preview to the whole episode

100% agree

I like the nitty gritty of the episodes..

I believe these are just the teasers to get you to buy the series… your right is a bit too short and a bit too sterile, not the usual VGG…. Hey fella, just sayin !😆

Is he done with his own show or is this just a side step?

Definitely sad that Derek went with motortrend. It probably good for him which I’m happy about but it’s just a big middle finger to his long time supporters

@@nonnimeme9670 Must just be a sideline

@@farmin4468 haha, how so? He is still putting out several videos on his channel , this little motor trend adventure hasnt slowed down his regular stuff.

At least 1,5hrs

First episode was to lure us in, this one a teaser, but to see the rest you have to open your wallet because this ain't going to be free sadly... Luckily there's VGG still going strong for that Derek adventure shenanigans!

This is a preview

@@JensAndree, yup no open wallet this side of the screen. No siree.

Agreed

With all due respect, I feel it isn´t doing him or his abilities justice.

just enough time to wetten down the back neck

Looks like MotorTrend wants you to pay for the full videos

I second that

They run a streaming service that's why.

This is a preview

Well, you survived what could have been a fatal accident, and you have been married 55 years, so I would say that is a fair trade for the 1967 Rebel SST.

Frosty snacks for everyone!!!🤤

Barley and hops flavored?

While I agree with your sentiment, I also look from Derek's point of view that this is an opportunity for him to provide an income that provides a better future for the family while at the same time introduce and promote his u-tube channel to people that didn't know of him before. I respect Derek and his decision to do this show as it's his life and his decision.

Owned a 76 AMC Hornet with the same straight 6 you'd find in a Jeep of the same year. Guy who bought that pile pulled the engine for his jeep and junked the Hornet.

Yeah...IF MotorTrend let's Derek do what he does and show MOST of the rescue/revival process because THAT is what we all want to see (see umpteen zillion comments saying EXACTLY THAT here). Come on MotorTrend, if you're going to use Derek on your channel (smart move for sure), use him the right way...let him do what he does so well on camera rescuing and revitalizing old vehicles from start to finish for at least 45 minutes!

He barely had a chance to introduce the car, give it's known history and mechanical creds before he was off to the coast in it. What a real shame...with a car like that in that condition this episode should have been 45 minutes long (minimum) showing most of the process and Derek's and Dan's work as they did it.

@@moparman1962 Its not his YT channel, that would all be controlled by MT.

@@TEXT_AlanJakson1 coy turney

Never happen. Derek has worked hard to build his name and channels and probably makes a decent return for them now, deservedly so. This is MT hoping his name gets them more views/subs.

@@krob5375 No this is motortrend paying Derek to make videos for their channel and not his channel. He can't use any of this footage on his own channel I guarantee it. I don't think you understand what this really means for VGG. It means less videos, less personality, and less "Derek" content per video.

@@contraband1543 Unless they're paying him a fortune, which I doubt, VGG/VGL won't be going anywhere. It's just a guest appearance type deal it seems. If this becomes a regular thing, then I'll worry.

But you'll note that there are rear side markers. AMC must have been the first to do this.

@Gil Romard I'm surprised but you're correct..,it seems that 67 Rebels got rear side markers. Interestingly neither Americans nor Ambassadors got them that year!

I bought a red 1974 AMC Matador off a used car lot in 1979 for $1000.00. Drove the car to St. Louis for a summer internship with Monsanto, drove all over the St. Louis area, then drove back to UNL (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) where I entered a Master's program. Finished my thesis and defended it in Jan. 1981. too late to graduate in Dec. 1980, instead graduated in May 1981. Got a job out in SF, CA starting Feb. 2, 1981, so I drove the Matador out to CA as my daily driver. Drove the car all over including many weekend trips to South Lake Tahoe for snow skiing and other late-night shenanigans. The car was nicknamed the Red Shark. Transferred to Pascagoula MS in May 1982, and drove from CA to MS in the Matador. Unfortunately, the numerous rainstorms and humidity were not to the car's liking, and I got tired of the car cutting out and having a hard time restarting. So, in December 1982, I traded the Matador in for a new 1982 Honda Accord. I ended up totaling the Accord in a bad accident in April 1984. I then purchased a new 1984 Ford Bronco II, transferred back to the SF/Bay Area in Dec. 1984 just in time for another Squaw Valley ski season. I drove the Bronco to Squaw Valley every weekend to ski during winter/spring of 1985 and had the Bronco II until 1987. That 1974 AMC Matador has plenty of power and was a reliable car for me from 1979 to 1982 until I relocated to the Deep South. Here is a tip, don't move to Deep South/Gulf Coast if you can't handle humidity and heat, or learn to adapt by acclimating yourself to the heat and humidity by going out water skiing practically every weekend.

This is a preview

Absolutely. Get it figured out MotorTrend...10 minutes is a joke for time on a rescue and revival of such a rare, cool piece of American automotive history...10 minutes so condensed and rushed isn't nostalgic...it's a nosebleed.

How are you all not getting that this is a goddamn preview to an entire episode

@@DyckRyk please show me where it tells us that this is a preview. If it is indeed a preview they don’t make it very evident

Well said.

Because MT became greedy and want people to purchase the entire series at once on their website.

@@tinystar3010 figures. Oh well.

That’s pry bar
