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.

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).
