Default Re: Rambler All-American

67Rogue X-Code,

Glad to have you aboard the All-American thread.

I'm a Mopar Gear-Head,,,,,but always liked the AMC cars,,,,

Information on the cracked windshields;

Straight from; The Standard Catalog of American Cars
1967 Rambler Rogue; Page 12

"The body integrity of the 67' Rambler with the 343 engine was a major problem, especially in the hardtop, and even more so in the convertible."

The 'Super American', though never an official name of the car with the
343, was used by dealers with a 'performance group, and Rambler street guys.

As I stated earlier, though anybody could order one, it appears that only '2' were actually ordered by dealers as part of their stocking inventory.

The other '56' were ordered by customers, as you could not find one on the dealership lot.

As for actual production numbers;
they came from an old article about
Geis Rambler, East Main Street, Shrub Oak, New York.

Geis stated that they had one of the (8) 67' Rambler American 440 'hardtops' with the 343/280 HP 4-Speed.,,,,,,,,,,
which they drag raced (67' thru 69').

The car was Frost White with I think, blue interior, and Radar Wheels.

Car name; 'FROST ACTION'

Engine built by; Joe Jill of 'Speedwin Automotive'

The information was later confirmed by the American Motors Corporation, Regional Zone Office, on North Saw Mill River Road, in Elmsford New York
