@Rick-S-6063 I'm not gonna lie. There is a special place in my heart for Chevy orange. Besides it being cheerful, it's one of my earliest memories of starting to recognize components common to an engine compartment. Besides, You get an extra 50 horse from keeping that engine paint shiny and the bright red plastic of that new, non-Delco HEI rotor, cap, and coil. 😆 🤣 😂 😹
When I was a kid, my neighbor must have been an auto aficionado and had money. I remember him driving a '68 AMC-AMX one year. The next year he was driving a '69 Sc/Rambler that looked much like this one. The year after that he was driving a '70 Rebel Machine with the Red-White-Blue color scheme. Those were enjoyable days!
You guys that built this beautiful AMC Scrambler deserve MUCH credit, what a Master Piece of beauty and style plus excellent Performance! I SALUTE YOU! I worked At AMC engineering in Detroit back in 1976 to 2001 I did the Cylinder heads , Intake and exhaust manifolds for JEEP, (Engine air flow). We even had a 4.0L Altered running in E/EA, Runner up at 1995 U.S.Nationals. Set record in 1996 at 8.602 ET. I LOVE THIS CAR YOU BUILT! Rick PS// Our E/EA car is on RUclips also. VERY COOL GUYS!
Huge AMC fan here!! Great Job guys. I used to build them years ago. Now I'm too messed up and old to have that kind of fun any longer. One car id love to see built is a 79 AMX Spirit model. My last was built for bracket racing ... easily a 200 mph runner. Back than we had Crane, Centerforce,Federal Mogul, companies like that to get our stuff . Fabricating was a huge undertaking, no digital stuff back then.
And every car guy had that giant P.A.W. Catalog I spent a bunch of time and money there.Miss seeing local speed shops Dont care if ordering online is easier, it was going in and seeing the latest stuff gets me excited.
Damn that is such an awesome build and an AMC to boot !👍🏼 No backseat totally works like the AMX so I can’t see any area that isn’t perfect, I love your gauges, the sound and those wheels are perfect with the gorgeous paint ! Can’t say enough… 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I've always liked the Rambler American & AMX ( in that order ) cars ! I've built a lot if cars ( Daily drivers, Street & strip and full on race cars ). I've always built all of the engines for these cars, mainly SBC's ! Despite wanting to build a Rambler, I never got the opportunity. Thanks for this video, warms my heart, Great Job ! ! !
You’ve proven that not every custom car has to be modernized throughout. This is the perfect approach to a custom car as its classic identity was kept. Nice work!
This is such a cool clean build! So glad you stay AMC powered. Great tribute to the original while modernizing her. I subscribed to your channel and looking forward to seeing more cool builds.
Man this brings back memories. I had a friend who had one with the 390. What a crazy car but we all had 60's and 70's muscle cars back then, a big group of us in the early 80's in Houston, street racing every weekend on Rankin and Westheimer!
Thanks for the video I love the scrambler when I was 13 years old my neighbor bought a brand new scrambler what a cool car he also had a 68 AMX they're both awesome cars the 68 was a 390. 4 speed also I was fortunate to grow up next to bikers and Gearheads my dad was a Gearhead he was a flathead guy he had a moonshine car I always loved AMC's a lot of people used to walk right past them now they're very collectible and cool I've had a lot of cars the only AMC was that one was a 65 Rambler American 327 4 speed 327 AMC have a great day I'll keep watching
This build is SO cool. Love the stance and wheel stagger. Chrome and black centres was the way to go. And it sounds amazing! Would definitely stand out in today's sea of Camaro builds. Absolutely love it!
Id be impressed with a reliable 5-600 out of that engine .But 700 driveable ponies? That takes some serious doing, builder knows his stuff for sure Nothing like short gears, solids and a stick.Stance and subtle/classy changes to the paint are frigging outstanding!! Very hard to pull off.
Got an acquaintance here in Montreal who built a clone (Scrambler) that looks 100% stock and looks awesome. He runs in stock class, and they try to kick him off the strip for running in the VERY low 10's, lifting the front left wheel, but they can't because he's STOCK! He's also got a '68 ('69?) AMX which runs in the 8's. GO AMC!!!!! I still have my very first car; a pre-AMX '68 Javelin. Paid $275 for my turd (back then), and now get show trophies and run in the 12's. It's been a 45 year budget build. It will NEVER leave me or my family!! GO AMC!!!!!
It sounds like you have been around some really cool cars! We haven't got to run this car on the track yet. Not many 1/4 milers left here in So-Cal. By our calc's this car should run low 10's.
@@oldanvilspeedshop What a build!! I never cared about rare #s etc it meant nothing to buyers come sale time they all wanted a good car cheap lol 1/4 mi tracks in Ca...sucks, there are none. Famoso is too far for me and wont waste time with an 1/8 . Fun is over before the real ride begins. Dig its still AMC powered and for once geared properly!! Most guys toss a huge cam in a low compression engine wont gear/converter it and wonder why they got a turd Nice work, keep it up!
That thing looks and sounds and goes great! Beautiful job of it all. Very classy. Love those wheels. (edit) And yes, major extra bonus points for keeping an AMC engine.
Sensational build by you & your team. The wheels really set it off & I would not change a thing. The owner must be really proud of the car you have created for him as I know I definitely would
My first impression was wow so nice! I then waited to see what the power plant was before I continued viewing. A very impressive build. Other than weight what does the edelbrock head bring to the build over the stock heads? The use of LS rods is intriguing, what mods are involved? I know the stock rods are more than capable of high rpm dependability but are still a steel rod with the inherent weight difference over aluminium. What a clean and beautiful build. The back seat area is so well done and very reminiscent of an AMX! Love the whole interior beautiful. My late brother-in-law was one of these strange lovers of amc products and an unmolested scrambler is in his small collection and this is an amazing tribute/upgrade to all of them. He also has/d a 68 x with a 390 with factory numbered edelbrock cross ram and a 71 401 AMX. He would’ve totally loved this build. You certainly made my day after I saw your video. Cheers
Talk about a class act. You know what never received its due accolades for muscular sculpt? The 67/68 Rebel. That was a damn pretty ans downright mean looker of a car. But this SC Rambler is a class act. All the while that little Timmy is mowing down pedestrians with his mother's mass produced new Mustang, here's this, hanging back in the shadows.
Just seen your channel awesome I don't know how it's staggered into it but I'm glad I did awesome concept I'm a new subscriber now ty sir love the oddball badass stuff amc was one for sure back in the day 😊
I know a man who still has 1. Got it new. Built the engine. By a speed shop in NJ and it was fast as hell. !! He ran slicks with them screwed to the rims. 2nd it would pull the front tires up a bit. On Saturday night hed come out ready to race !!!!! 😊😊
I've discovered your channel 2 or 3 videos ago and what I love is there is no bling bling and you keep the feeling of the original cars. Well done! I'm now a new subscriber.
Awesome build, loves that stupid car back in the day. D The Manual Steering, Brakes, Manual trans, firm suspension all point to the 60s Muscle Car "Character". I was lucky to have a 64 Corvette Convertible with 4 options, 3.73 gear, 365 HP 327, Red White Interior, Hardtop. It was bare bones Corvette with 365 HP and I loved it. That is the way you built this Scrambler, although AC likely helped the owner. Yes today I own a Corvette but 2014 Auto, Steering, Brakes, Air, even magnetic shocks. All make it nice BUT it lacks the Character of my Old 64 Vette or your 69 Rambler. Great build nice video. Thanks, Dennis in Virginia
Would like to know what components insofar engine you used. These always needed oil mods. I'm refreshing an early 71 401, for a J-truck, low performance set up so looking for info what is best for these to make them live long.
Nope! No LS swap keeping the original AMC is the best thing about it. I know someone who has a Rambler Scrambler. He is the only owner and it's all original.
My all-AMC Rambler American station wagon ran 11.92/119.64 through the mufflers on DOT rubber at Fremont in 1990. See the December 1990 issue of Super Stock magazine for pictures and details.
Great build! Plenty of things going on that I don't fully understand. I see a significant difference on the rear springs @11:08. What's the story with that trick?
Could own that car but wouldn't be able to dive to long since my license would be suspended indefinitely due to my temptation 2 put the pedal to the metal!
Great build! But to say “this is the most HP of any AMC build that we know of”? (657 HP at about 4.25 into the video), that just means you didn’t look very hard. But other than that, like I said, great build!
Very impressed, but, there is always a but. I am a 82 year old "old Fart" with a degree in diesel engines. Now you noticed I said engine, not motor. Guys these are ENGINES, just a pet peeve of mine.
Thank you! I've heard people say this before about engines versus motors. I am a mechanical engineer myself and from what I have learned an engine is a motor. The definition the way I understand it is a motor is anything that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for some other device with moving parts. An engine is a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion. I assume that is why they are called motor vehicles. What did you learn that is different?
@@oldanvilspeedshopthe difference as taught to me was a motor is electrically driven whereas an engine is fuel driven wether internally or externally. Re: starting motor versus starting engine. Who’s correct?
I was taught that a Motor has a outside source power, where as a engine source of power is inside, internal combustion etc. Then you have steam engines outside source and outboard motors inside source, so who's right? Don't really know, It's just that they will always be Engines to me. @@jimrudolph1582
Why anyone would do this to a rare car like that is totally beyond me. If You want a car that rips and drives like a new one, by all means buy a new one and leave the old ones to those who can appreciate them for what they are
There are plenty of nice restored ones out there. This one was rescued from an unrestorable state. It was bent pretty bad from its racing days and lots of parts were damaged or missing.
@@oldanvilspeedshop The stock numbers crowd oh how could you! How they can claim to be cacr guys is beyond me. This build is perfect in every aspect.. hard to achieve what you did. Love to see it go down the 1/4 mi to see what it could run Thanks for keeping it AMC 3 pedals and no gigantic thug wheels.
You guys ruined it and need someone in your face. These cars need to be preserved in original condition . If you want to do this crap get a goddmn Chevy that they made millions of. Hate having younger generation getting their hands on these AMC's.
PReserve? what the hey? Thats like telling your wife no plastic boobs when they start sagging Younger generation will never want these cars nor have most even heard of them.
I sure wish we had started with a nice stock SC/Rambler. This car was raced and was pretty bent. It had not been on the road in probably 30 years. We straightened it, fixed some cancer, added new frame rails to stiffen it up, and searched out or just plain made parts that were missing. It is now at the Marconni Museum and will be out and driven to shows and events monthly for all to enjoy and learn about the history. I hope you understand that we brought to life a ruined wore out SC/Rambler.
@@oldanvilspeedshop Wish you did "ruin a real one" I love seeing the numbers guys ripping their hair out This is 100x better anyways. Only guys who worry about stock are the guys who own them which isnt very many
Hell yes!! An AMC car customized and STILL AMC powered!
I forgot that the last 3 times I saw a cherried out Ambassador or American, they all had small block Chevies.
Sad
Unfortunately with a radioactive orange Fram oil filter. :(
@Rick-S-6063 Oh, man!
But it's almost exactly Chevy engine orange!
That makes it the best, right?
@@vanpenguin22 There's no accounting for taste. ;)
@Rick-S-6063 I'm not gonna lie.
There is a special place in my heart for Chevy orange.
Besides it being cheerful, it's one of my earliest memories of starting to recognize components common to an engine compartment.
Besides,
You get an extra 50 horse from keeping that engine paint shiny and the bright red plastic of that new, non-Delco HEI rotor, cap, and coil.
😆 🤣 😂 😹
Regardless of brand, I love it when a restomod keeps an engine from that manufacturer.
When I was a kid, my neighbor must have been an auto aficionado and had money. I remember him driving a '68 AMC-AMX one year. The next year he was driving a '69 Sc/Rambler that looked much like this one. The year after that he was driving a '70 Rebel Machine with the Red-White-Blue color scheme.

We hope it brought back some fond memories!
Awesome build and production, hopefully the ol algorithm picks up on this video
Haha we're hoping so too! Thanks
Killer build...old school vibe with modern fabrication skills.
Thank you! That's what we aim for
THAT SC/RAMBLER IS BAD *ASS . IT IS WHAT AMC SHOULD HAVE DONE ON DAY 2 .( OR A CUSTOMER .)👍

It is now at the Marconni Museum and will be out and driven to shows and events monthly for all to enjoy and learn about the history. I hope you understand that we brought to life a ruined wore out SC/Rambler.
@@oldanvilspeedshop Wish you did "ruin a real one" I love seeing the numbers guys ripping their hair out
This is 100x better anyways. Only guys who worry about stock are the guys who own them which isnt very many
