who's car is this?

This is Joe Cochran's M/SA 1968 Rambler. He took the car to two races last year (that I know of), the Columbus Division 3 race and the Columbus SPORTSnationals. His best pass was a 12.791 for the 290 C.I. motor that is factored 225/210. A photo I took of the car at the Division 3 race is attached. I hope this helps!

Could you have Joe call me @ 602-418-9797?

Jeff, I called Joe and left your number on his machine. Bob Michael.

thanks for the replies! how does he get away with running that hood? i knew it wasn't a real sc/rambler being a post car.. i was thinking maybe they overlooked it being a post and let him run the 390 and the hood, but you said its a 290 car.. jeff told me i should've this with my american a few years back running a 290/auto combo but haven't had the time or money to do anything much with any of my cars

I asked them the same thing about the hood. I was told since his scoop is not functional (no hole in the hood) it was no big deal to allow him to have it on the car.

wgaf about the hood, how'd he get that much tire under it?

anybody have any contact info?

That's a 1 of 1 AMC SCAMbler.:>):>):>)
Seriously I just looked in a 2008 rule book.
Quote: Hood openings and/or hood scoops other than OEM prohibited.That's kind of a gray area as the scoop was only available on the SC/Rambler.I would think it would slow the car down a tad being non functional.
