AMC decided it wasn't reliable enough at the last minute and pulled it as an available option. Sources vary on the number built, only two can be verified; they showed up at Daytona Speed week in February 1957 where manufacturers were showcasing their new products. An Electrojector-equipped 1957 Rebel was the second fastest car in Daytona from 0-60 mph. At 7.2 seconds, it was beaten only by a Rochester fuel injection-equipped Corvette that clocked a 7.0 second 0-60 time. It easily outpaced larger Hemi powered 354 and 392 cid cars, but it must be pointed out that those engines were also in larger, heavier cars. A 1957 Rambler Rebel weighed around 3400 pounds, a Chrysler 300C weighed 5000 pounds.
