a racing Hurst SC/Rambler!

what a cool, unique moment of manufacturing of the red white and blue theme... no one but the American Motors Corporation could or would do something this cool.

 Dan Curtis, owner of the five RWB warriors pictured here, owns AZ AMC Restorations in Peoria, Arizona. 

Dan’s love for AMCs dates back to the ’68 390 four-speed AMX he street-raced in Massachusetts as far back as 1971. He confesses that he initially dismissed the whole RWB concept as “silly,” but has held on to an A-scheme SC/Rambler since the late ’90s. 

Dan claims he never sought the RWBs out, but rather accumulated them over time - almost accidentally. The B-scheme SC/Rambler was purchased from noted AMC authority Mark Fletcher, co-author of the Hurst Equipped book, 

The SS/AMX was offered to Dan in 2018, its RWB status was incidental to it being the final SS/AMX built. 

Six months later, a friend offered Dan the T/A Javelin in a part-trade offer. “This was late 2018 or early 2019,” Dan says. Soon, “I realized I had four out of the five - I only needed a Rebel Machine to complete the set. 

Other than his own, “I’ve never seen all five RWB cars together in a private collection.” All five of the cars seen here have been sorted out by his shop, including the installation of some genuine vintage over-the-counter AMC Group 19 parts under the hoods for a little extra kick. All of them are now ready to drive at a moment’s notice

Retired from the road in 1994, this SC/Rambler has been sitting for 30 years as of 2024. The seller wants 46k

Surprisingly enough, the hardtop is still in solid condition and retains its numbers-matching 390 V8 and four-speed manual transmission.

unlike the disappointing turn out at El Cajon and La Mesa, Escondido's weekly Friday night cruise was at it's usual full turn out strength

it's hard to ponder what could lead anyone to neglect a factory muscle car like this Hurst SC/Rambler (390 hi po, 4 spd, factory glass packs)

It's going to be at the 2023 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals

I've never seen anyone dress up a Hurst SC/Rambler until now

I've never seen one with this level of paint upgrade

clever timing to make this Arizona AMC collection (Even has an AMX SS) easy for the Barrett Jackson auction types to stop by and purchase, via Craigslist... and so sellers fee, auction fee, etc etc etc from an auction company

all five AMC performance cars sold in their iconic factory red-white-and-blue paint schemes.

The last of the AMX Hurst Super Stock, 1 of 52 made, 12.3 to 1 compression.... and a 1970 AMC Javelin Trans Am, said to be one of 100, and a 1970 AMC Rebel The Machine. a pair of 1969 Hurst/SC Ramblers, one in each of two paint schemes.

600k takes them home

you don't see factory sponsored racing like this anymore, risky, crazy, and fun... the 3rd paint scheme of SC/Ramblers

Not the A paint scheme, not the B, but the Baja of James Garner's AIR, closer to the Breedlove AMX paint design

I didn't know what the hell tri-poised power is.. . it's the 3 motor mounts AMC used

Goof collection of 8 tracks!

 AMX comparison shots

 Comparison photos

 How unusual... the AM is across the top, and the FM band  is on the bottom. Must have been at that turning  point of history when FM was in demand enough to add to the radio, but not as desired as AM that had better music.

 What a great road trip collection! Coolest set I've ever seen

 I've seen the same hood ornaments on other cars, I wonder if they were generic?

 Machine and Marlin... only in AMC (American Motor Corp) could they decide on cool names... OK, the Marlin flopped, but I like it. Hell, I guess the Machine wasn't a big success either, but damn... it is a great looking car!
