Rambler All-American

[Hemi Moose]

Trivia question: All X-code '67 American had a distinguishing feature, visible in the trunk, do you know what it was?

67RogueX-code, maybe you care to tell us...in the mean time here's an old shot.

Any chance you can make you documentation available to the AMC community?

Some clarification:
"The 290 V-8 engine call out was placed on the back fender." All engines had call-outs on the rear-fenders.

"The Model 440 and Rogue, had a trim molding section at the base of the 'C' pillar." There were actually four different trim-moldings at the base of the 'C' pillar, all were different, and none were interchangeable, they each had different (mounting) holes... 220's had their own, 440's had different ones, Rogues (without vinyl) actually had 2 per side, and Rogues (with vinyl) had their own.

Everything else is accurate.

Trivia question: All X-code '67 American had a distinguishing feature, visible in the trunk, do you know what it was?

Go ahead and email me directly if you can make your documentation available... thanks for all of your help.

http://classracer.com/classforum/album.php?albumid=1036 shows trim along the rocker panel BUT i've been told it was an optional thing...

Somebody on another thread said something about the 1967 Rambler with the 343,,,,,,

On the 'X' and 'Z' labels..

I only stated that the 1967 343/280HP engine was a 'Z' Code...

And on the exterior trim,,,,,,,,

The 'Rogue' had the name call out on the trunk deck lid,,,,,,,,,

And the Model 220 and Model 440 had the 'American' call out on the
back trunk deck lid.

That car still exists, and is owned by a member of "theAMCforum.com". And other than the wheels/tires looks exactly the same today.

Trivia answer:
To help handle the additional torgue, ONLY X-code cars had the rear shock move to behind the rear axle. To support the upper shock-mounts, plates were added to the differential-hump, inside the trunk. Similar plates were used the following year on the Javelins & AMX's.

In this picture you can see one of those plates. Also note, this picture is of a 220 (disputing the list previously posted):

1967 Rambler 440, 2-Door Sedan, 343 4-Speed

No full-length lower band molding,,,,,,,most likely removed.

1967 AHRA Formula-6 D/Stock National Record Holder
12.47 @ 113 MPH

That would be equivalent to 1967 NHRA B/S (Stock Class).
But, the AHRA did permit Camshaft up-grades, as well as Holley Carburetors on Stock Class Engines.

looks like the one pictured has the beltline moulding if you look close...
that's the only 2dr sedan i've ever seen it on though (but i'm still new to the amc stuff but learning fast )

1967 Rambler Rogue

The 1967 Rambler American and Rogue featured a new front grille,
which featrured prominent horizontal chromium-plated staffs.

Just looking at the Rogue 'Hardtop', you can see the weak link in the body,,,,,,,,the 'C' pillar area appears small.

The higher torque in the 343/280 'Typhoon' engine, obviously caused
body twisting in the 'Hardtop'.

Seems Rambler used these items just like the Dodge & Plymouth cars with 440 six pack and 426 Hemi motors, they used extra bracing and thick plates and torque boxes on their cars.
