okay calling all the Rambler/AMC experts out there, can anyone tell me everything there is to know about this car...I sure wish that I was out there.

I was looking records and rules for AHRA formula stock . There was A for dual quads, B for single 4bbl , & C for 2bbl. I set my 440 up for C , at that time the record was 11.80 . You were allowed some mods like after market cam , stock production heads ( year did not matter ) after market manifold , headers.

In the AHRA formula classes they were classifed by lbs. per cube in .

So what were the 'new car prices' on these things anyways, were they really that cheap back then...

I was told by Larry Mitchell that the Rockford Rambler american was sold and was totaled in a accident . The Randall american was sold and the new owner raced it manzaneda dirt track , it was totaled . There was a power blue one owned by Bill Anglin in Phx. he sold it and a few yrs.later went to buy it back only to find out it had been totaled in down town Phx. I had bought a few parts from a wrecked one yellow with a black vinal roof. Jessie Snyders went to a wrecker. What's left ? There is a white one in new england area that was used ( if I remember correctly ) in the early SCCA ,it was wrecked but it's still arround does the name Wentworth ring a bell? Larry Blatt has one in PA., theres one in Calgary , the Ketchems , Bob Willcox in TX. , Rocky Lear in KY. Keith Coggins ( ME ) x 2 .I bought the Rogue used from Randall Rambler , the 440 sedan I bought from Bill York ( today he has a pro comp car ) . One in Finland . So thats 5 down . 9 still here , what's left ?
