Default Re: Rambler All-American

1967

Rambler/AMC made their 'first real move into the street musclecar scene'.

Not to discount the little 290/225 HP 4-Barrel/4-Speed.

Those 1967 Model 440 2-Door Sedans, weighed a nice #2817 lbs.

They were tight cars.
With a weight factor of 12.52 Wt/Hp
1967 NHRA Class = F/S
1968 NHRA Class = J/S
1969 NHRA Class = K/S
1970 NHRA Class = L/S
1971 NHRA Class = L/S
1972 NHRA Class = SS/N or D/S (Pure Stock)
1973 NHRA Class = SS/N or J/S (Pure Stock)

Even back in 1968 or 1969, a well-prepped street Rambler American
with a 290 4-Speed, and 4.44 gears,,,,,,,,,,,

Could get into the 14.80 range.
