SS/AMX posts

King Nash, Chuck's Luck, Beachy Bros (known), Camriser, Greens Rambler, Stowe Engineering, Transcona (destroyed) and a car from Montreal stolen when almost new. There is a question of the origin of Uncle Sam. That is 51, meaning one not accounted for at this time. Possible Moni Moni/Pauley's pride may be one of the missing cars or still yet another. I was told there is one in NY and another in Mich. (Camriser?).

Anyone have any more info to share?  Any pictures? Anything?

Thanks to all who helped.

And notice the 70 taillights on Shahan's car.  Any pictures of the Drag-On Lady with a 70 nose?

And you gotta love this red, white, and blue car:

 

I agree that the SC/Rambler is nothing more than an modified Rogue.  What else could anyone possibly suggest it is other than what it is, a modified Rogue????

 

Value will always be determined by demand and of late more people want SS AMXs and SC/Ramblers than the supply can support thus the prices have gone higher on both.  Lots of us recall SS AMXs for sale in the $3500 - $7500 range in the late 70s and early 80s but that was when demand and available funds were both painfully low so the cars were not in high demand.  Heck, there was a time when $500 - $1000 would buy a perfectly good SC/Rambler during the gas crisis of the 70s when there was almost NO demand for a gas guzzler like the SC/Rambler. And now if supply miraculously and suddently exceeded demand then prices woud come down. 

 

As for non factory cloned drag cars not sure what you mean there.  Anyone with the right knowledge and bank account can build a kick ass engine and modify the chasis to turn just about any ET you want so I fail to see the point of your comment.  The SS AMX and the SC/Rambler have nothing in them that can't be duplicated rather it is just very cool that they, and cars like them for other manufacturers, came that way from the factory.  On the other hand, the cast pistons and model 20 rear ends in both the SS AMX and the SC/Rambler were prone to self destruction and LOTS of both cars blew up the engines and rear ends and also had the cams changed out to a more aggressive profile so even on both of those cars the factory setup left something to be desired.

 

I agree both are very cool cars and the SS AMX in particular is a rare bird that any AMC enthusiast/collector should be proud to own.  In the grand scheme of things however, both cars started life as a regular old production car that anyone could buy so likewise, the standard versions of either car can still be converted to be the same as the few remaining Hurst modified versions out there today. 

Don't really want to get off topic but there was a few posts about that issue.
