Rambler All-American

Jeff Lee · 04-04-2012, 11:02 PM

I've never liked the SC paint schemes. But the car is pretty bitchin'!
Ken Kier built one a few years ago for a customer to run SS/H that was all white. With that scoop & big slicks sittin' low, it made an awesome looking car. A big name Heni engine builder supposedly built the 390 and it reportedly made 535 HP. That would have made a great chassis a real turd if the numbers are real. And he probably charged the guy some serious coin. It's been passed around a few times, never even going down the track, at least not publicly known. Sure wish I could own it!

I remember that car.

Ronnie Holland out of Hyannis, Mass. from Cape Motors.

The sedan was equipped with a 343.

If I recall correctly, that car was briefly an AHRA National Record Holder in Formula 4 Stock D/S
AHRA Record 12.83 @ 109.46 MPH

That car flew back in 1968.

You gotta love those lightweight,,,,, 343 cubed cars.

Jeff i purchased a new "B" scheme SC/Rambler in 1969. Its weak points were the axles ,clutch, small carb. I put henry's axles in rear leaving stock 3.54 gear and added a heavier pressure plate. With a set of slapper bars and stock torgue links the car would hardly spin when launched at 5,000 with street tires. Other mods an offenhauser manifold, 750 holley, advance kit in distrib. I used stock cam but shimmed valve springs and installed antipumpup lifters. with combination I could leave at 5,000 shift at same and it would run 6,000 in highgear. It was a killer on the street as most cars I ran against couldn't hook or run as fast on top end.
As you know I have been racing these AMC cars ever since.

Rambler Typhoon was actually the name of the 232 6cylinder engine introduction .AMC made 2520 Rambler 770 classics Badged Typhoon.All cars are solar yellow with painted black roofs. All had Ambassador dashes,all had black interiors. All were 2 door hardtops,1 year only.When Amc introduced their new V8 design ,,they took the typhoon name from the 6.I believe the typhoon. Name was only used for the 290 and 343 V8 engines.
