1967 Rambler American 440 2-Door Sedan
Randall Rambler Mesa, Arizona Randall Rambler, one of the first AMC High Performance Dealerships. Frequent winners at the AHRA Drag Strips (ie; Bee Line, Arizona) These cars with the 343 engine were called 'Super Americans' Not to be taken lightly, their 67' Rambler American 440, was a 2-Door Sedan (stronger post car), and smartly ordered with no trim, and radio and heater delete. Not to be taken lightly, this car could run low 13.00's at 108 MPH. 1967 AHRA Formula-6 D/Stock (National Record Holder) Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 02-05-2012 at 08:20 AM. |

Re: Rambler All-American
I'm just wondering if were these so called rare Ramblers built with the 343 Typhoon engines were kind of like the other factory built race cars, or could anyone walk into a dealership and buy one...this sounds familiar.

1967 Rambler 343 'Super American'
Accoring to the records, only '2' of the '58' built, were built by the factory as a 'regular stocking order'. The other '56' were customer ordered cars, or dealer ordered cars for racing. All 58 were built with the Borg-Warner T-10 4-Speed. Of the 13,471 (1967 Rambler American 2-Doors or Rogue), only 58 came equipped with the 343 Typhoon (1 out of every 250 built). Car & Driver (July 1967) Article: "High-Performance Rambler ?" Performance Results; 15.80 @ 88 MPH 0 to 60 = 7.9 Seconds General Specifications: 343/280 Horsepower Code: 'Z' Name: 'Typhoon' 280 Horsepower @ 4800 RPM's 365 Foot Pounds of Torque @ 3000 RPM Bore: 4.08" Stroke: 3.28" Compression Ratio: 10.2 - 1 Camshaft: (Lift); .425 Intake / .425 Exhaust, (Duration 266*, Overlap 44*) Lifters: Hydraulic Valves: 2.02" Intake / 1.62" Exhaust Cylinder Head: Casting #3188558 (51.4 CC) Intake: Cast Iron Carburetor: Carter AFB 625 CFM Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 02-05-2012 at 05:14 PM. |
