'Frost Action'

The name indicates an ice cold action, but this car is anything but cold.
What is it, but a hot drag racing car, owned by Putnam Valley resident
Scott Smith.

Not the car you would think, but a 1967 Rambler American. Yes, a
Rambler Drag Race Car. With all the hot cars rumbling the streets of
Northern Westchester, one not to tangle with is this white compact
box-styled car, which looks like your fathers company car.

Scott, who works as a Parts Manager for Geis Motors in Shrub Oak,
uses his car for a dual-purpose, Monday thru Friday to get to work, and
Sundays to legally drag race. Scott has been drag racing for 3 years,
and first started off with 1965 289 cubic inch Ford Mustang. But once he
started working for Geis Motors, owner William Geis Sr. suggested that
he really should own an American Motors product, since he was the Parts
Manager at Geis Motors here in Shrub Oak.

Scott was willing to sell his 'Pride and Joy' Mustang 4-speed, as long as
he could get a good deal on Ramblers top performance car. Mr. Geis
offered Scott a car at dealer cost, since he was a selected employee
as Parts Manager. What Scott found, was not your typical medium-bodied
big engine car, but a special limited production 1967 Rambler American
compact with a high-performance 343 engine..

Scott ordered the car with a 4-speed, and in a basic white color.
Scott stated, that when he got the car; 'it looked like some insurance
guys company car, really boring looking, but the fact is, this is a little car
with a big engine, and nobody knows it'.
