I remeber back in the 80's 1 of those scramblers used to sit on the street outside this persons house.I ask my buddy.what the hell is that.He said don't laugh they can run mid 12's right out of the box.
Spirit would've wasted him anyway. Look at the holeshot. GO SPIRIT!!! Scramblers are awesome, don't get me wrong, but no other AMC makes such a great, cheap drag car, except maybe a gremlin.
Each Hurst SC/Rambler came equipped with the 315 hp (235 kW) 390 in³ (6.4 L) AMC V8 engine from the AMX that was mated to a four-speed manual transmission (with Hurst shifter), a 3.54:1 "Twin-Grip" limited slip differential, heavy-duty brakes with front discs and a sway bar, as well as strengthened drive train and body components.
American Motors called on Hurst to develop a "Stock Car" (SC or original factory) model - often nicknamed "Scrambler" - to make a strong impact in the compact muscle market segment. Available only as a two-door hardtop, the interior came in standard gray vinyl upholstered reclining bucket seats, but with red, white, and blue headrests, as well as a Sun (brand) tachometer strapped to the steering column.
Outside, however, the SC/Ramblers came with the wildest factory paint jobs ever put on a muscle car. It also featured a box-type hood scoop with "390 CU. IN." and "AIR" in large letters on both sides of it. If someone missed seeing it, a blue arrow on the hood also pointed towards the air intake. The Scrambler came only in two types of red, white, and blue color schemes ("A" or "B" trims) with no other options available, with the exception of an AM radio.
American Motors built a lot of 500 "A" scheme SC/Ramblers before switching to the "B" scheme. 500 "B" models were built before AMC switched the final lot of 512 SC/Ramblers back to the "A" pattern. Some of the other unique standard items on this model included racing mirrors, anti-hop rear axle links, and two-tone styled wheels with red stripe Goodyear Polyglas tires. American Motors made the suggested retail price (MSRP) at US$2,998.
A stock SC/Rambler was a serious dragstrip contender because in its as-sold condition it could do the quarter mile in the low 14 seconds at about 100 mph (161 km). The very special model was produced during 1969 in collaboration with Hurst Performance. This was the Hurst SC/Rambler. With 1,512 built, it was probably the only production model made and promoted for a specific drag racing class, the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) F/Stock class.
