Only 1,512 built total, ever! AMC wanted a muscle car to compete
with the big three automakers. Easy, they just stuffed a big motor
in a compact car. The typically very mundane Rambler Rogue was
their car of choice. With the help of Hurst performance, they
created a car that could blow the doors off some pedigreed muscle
cars. At the time there wasn't much budget for AMC to promote. The
car needed to be its own billboard, so it was given a wild
appearance that was at the time considered obnoxious. Today it is
an exciting car and highly sought after. This one is a very solid,
complete car that's mostly original. Maintained as needed, original
drivetrain. Verified authentic by the X and M in the vin.
EXTERIOR: It certainly makes a statement. The red sides and blue
stripe are outlined in black. The body on this car really appears
to be dry. The metal is clean and straight. All 4 wheel well lips
are folded in for the wide tires, this was done at the factory on
all SC/ Ramblers. It had a 1 time repaint years ago. It shows well
but isn't perfect. It has its original "snout" ram air scoop and
hood pins. It also has its original bullet style mirrors. Each car
also features a custom grill, black tail panel and special emblems.
As if the red, white, and blue paint wasn't already enough- AMC
thought the wheels should be blue too! The wheels were just
painted, the owner left the trim rings off, but they are included
with the car too. They are wrapped in radial redline tires.
INTERIOR: It is essentially the same as a Rambler inside other than
red, white and blue headrests and an Sun Tachometer on the column.
Both front seats recline. It appears to be in original condition
including the carpet, door panels and upholstery. Original waffle
print headliner. The dash area is exceptional, there are no cracks
in the dash pad, the instrument panel is excellent. It has a rare
radio delete plate, no antenna on the car either.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has its original 390-315 HP motor with
original # tag on the valve cover. The ram air induction system is
complete and functional. It looks stock manifolds, ignition system
etc. The cap, coil and wires look new. It has power brakes. The
engine bay looks to have clean metal.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Trunk is rock solid. The metal looks original,
the paint under the trunk lid even looks original. It has a mat and
a spare.
UNDERSIDE: Each SC Rambler was equipped with heavy duty suspension.
This includes a swaybar, staggered rear shocks and torque links.
Dual exhaust has Flowmaster mufflers. Looking up at the motor it
has 390 cast right on the block. Correct T-10 4-speed. 3.54 Twin
Grip rear end. The floors are rock solid. Overall original
condition.
This is one of the rarest, most exciting muscle cars built. It
certainly creates conversation wherever it goes. It is a mostly
unrestored example, that appears to be rust free and complete.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
