American motors made many cars
Hello and Welcome to my page for all the Hurst/Scrambler nuts that are out there! How many folks really know how much AMC actually contributed to the muscle car era? American motors made many cars in the performance line and have been greatly appreciated by diehard AMC people for years and I believe that no car has made such an impression as the Hurst SC/Rambler.
Created in the last year of its production line, the 1969 Rambler took on a whole new purpose. Once just a mid size economy car for the moderate consumer, it was transformed into one of the only factory production race cars ever created. A Rambler once laughed at would now make life miserable for many other great muscle cars and actually give most of them a severe run for their money. They only made 1,512 of them way back in 1969. They were a mid year production car, hence the year 69 1/2. Today there are only a few privileged folks lucky enough to have one to drive.
These cars were sold as factory NHRA F stock production race cars and used very much in the line of duty. Although most of them now accompany crash and burn stories, there are a few that remain in private collections, seen only by their owners, and then there are a few others that the owners continue to use them for the purpose they were intended. I honor my Scrambler in this way and fully endorse anyone else who drives their SC in the same line of duty… continuing to uphold their status as muscle cars.
In a world full of high production number muscle cars, these Scramblers now are rising to the top of most enthusiasts’ lists for the ultimate muscle car to own and being sought after by collectors now who once never gave them a second look.
