We had crazy high hopes for AMC after they made the American, the SC Rambler, the Machine, and the AMX... but they ran out of gas before they could impress us with another cool little car



they had a lot going for them, 2 seaters, or buckets and a rumble seat, cool wings/air foils, world records, and best of all, they weren't Chevys, Fords, or Foreign.

You could hope for amazing things from AMC for a year or two, after all, they made Hurst Super Stock cars too!

And other than the Hurst Barracuda and Hurst Dart, was there really any factory race car that you'd give a fortune for? Well, the Mopar factory altered wheelbase cars, sure... but nothing else was legit exciting except maybe the Shelby Cobra and Shelby Mustang.

  1. Saw one of the Ramblers at the Cleveland History Center a couple months ago-- a sweet ride! Too bad it is a non-functional concept car, as it would be great to see it on the road some time. I can't imagine riding in the rumble ("Ramble") seat while going down the highway though...
