1967 Rambler 343 'Super American'

Accoring to the records, only '2' of the '58' built,
were built by the factory as a 'regular stocking order'.

The other '56' were customer ordered cars, or dealer ordered cars for racing.

All 58 were built with the Borg-Warner T-10 4-Speed.

Of the 13,471 (1967 Rambler American 2-Doors or Rogue), only
58 came equipped with the 343 Typhoon (1 out of every 250 built).
