AMC President George Romney was insistent that his company match the Big Three in every market segment rather than just producing dull compact cars. So when Detroit went all in for muscle cars, Kenosha (that's where AMCs were built) did the same. The ordinary two-door Rambler Rogue (called simply
the AMC Rambler in 1969) was certainly America's cheapest and most basic transportation. But the Hurst SC/Rambler included a 315 hp V-8, functional hood scoop, Hurst shifter, heavy-duty shocks, anti-sway bar, anti-hop rear links to fortify the suspension and heavy-duty brakes with front discs.
Most of the 1,512 SC/Ramblers that were built had
a red, white and blue paint scheme much wilder than the car pictured. Note that this car may be what's called a "clone" or "tribute"; in other words not the real thing. It doesn't have the correct Magnum 500 wheels or the blackout grill correct to the SC/Rambler. It's still cool.
