AMC Hurst SC/Rambler A-Scheme
AMC partnered with Hurst Performance to create one of the most outrageous muscle cars ever built. The SC/Rambler took the compact Rambler American body and shoehorned in the 390 cubic inch V8 from the AMX, creating a lightweight rocket that shocked Camaros and Mustangs at stoplights. The A-scheme paint was patriotic red, white and blue, while B-scheme was red, white and black. Every car came with Hurst shifter and functional hood scoop.
Verify numbered console plaque and documentation. Many clones exist due to rarity and value. Original paint is crucial - repaints hurt value significantly. The 390 is bulletproof but requires HD clutch. Join AMC clubs for parts sources and authentication help.
Only 1,512 SC/Ramblers were built, all in 1969. Each came with a numbered plaque on the console. The cars were assembled at Hurst in Michigan, then trucked to AMC dealers. AMC lost money on each one but gained publicity.
