-'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>'''Bendix Electrojector. 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 late 1956 where manufacturers were showcasing their new products. An Electrojector-equipped 1957 Rebel was the second fastest car in Daytona from 0-60 mph. It was beat only by a Rochester FI Corvette. 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 Nash Rebel weighed around 3400 pounds, a Chrysler 300C weighed 5000 pounds).
