Re: 1969 rambler scrambler
 

A SC/Rambler in the condition shown on ebay would be north of $40K, no problem. A friend of mine sold two @ BJ this last show and although nice, were really lacking in the details IMO. They averaged around $65K with one "A" scheme (broad red paint on the sides) and the other the "B" scheme (less graphics).

The seller on ebay is kidding himself with the "one of three" factory equipped with the Thrush muffler. They all came that way! AMC's answer to the GM chambered exhaust for pennies. :D

DJ - It was Monte Howard who had the friend with one.

I have seen one of those cars go for $65K. Good ones seem to be in the $40K + range.

still looking for a scrambler.

Re: 1969 rambler scrambler
 

Jeff,

I would love to have one but I'm sure $ 100.00 won't buy it. Question: I seem to remember that when Hurst built them they did something to the wheel base...am I remembering right or has that brain cell died with most of the rest?

Re: 1969 rambler scrambler
 

No, it's still a 97" wheelbase just like the street AMX. AMC / Hurst didn't build these cars too awfully special. You got the engine with 12.5:1 Jahns pistons, Crane ported heads, a stock .425" lift street cam and the Edelbrock STR intake with two #4858 (585 CFM) Holly carbs, Mallory distributor, Dougs headers. You buy it, you blueprint it.
The trans was a 2.64 low T-10 with Hurst linkage and modified floor for the linkage.
Rear was the Model 20 by Dana with 4.44:1 ratio and aftermarket 1-piece axles.
The engine (other than the cam, AMC expected you to put your own roller grind in) was decent.
But there wasn't anything really special about the body other than the loss of sound deadner, hood scoop, battery in trunk. Nothing like the Hurst '68 Mopar's with fiberglass front end, light weight glass, seats, etc.
But they sure did run and still do today. Right now I see the SS/C record is held by Aris Asdourian's SS/AMX in the 9-teens. AH Adkins runs about the same but in SS/B. The 8's are a real possibility for a SS/B AMX.
Now aren't you glad you asked? :rolleyes:

NHRA Track Announcer Dennis Winegar had a couple of these at one time. Raced one in Stock eliminator in the 70's. I know he sold them both, but I will ask him if he knows where they went. Seems like the street legal one went to Nebraska. 390 4 speed with I think he said 4.44 gears. I remember it was red white and blue.

Re: 1969 rambler scrambler
 

Yes, I am and thanks for the info. I always liked these cars because they always seemed to be the underdog compared to all the big motor cars in the surrounding classes.....got this underdog complex thing.
