1969 rambler scrambler

RANDY TATMAN · 07-26-2009, 10:16 AM

My dad used to run against one of these every Sunday at Raven Rock in Portsmouth Ohio. Dad had a 1968 Roadrunner with a 383 and used to put it on him pretty bad. I was only about 6 years old at the time,but remember it like it was yesterday. They were really cool cars. It looks like the one on ebay could have been the same car. I wished I had only had a camera.

The guy in the S/C must have had the secondaries disconnected.
A car in that condition should probably go for a bit north of 30G.
Right Dwight?

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.

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.

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.
