1969 AMC SC - Rambler Review

In an attempt to generate customer traffic and excitement beyond the Javelin and AMX models and capitalize on the growing market for small muscle cars, modified Hurst launched AMC SC / Rambler in 1969. The company was a watershed year in which the AMC has tried to withdraw was the "old guard Rambler" and inaugurate a new era of AMC models lableled only. The Hornets hit series will replace the U.S. model next year and the rebirth of a famous name or model of the old Hudson day would come the end of the line of the venerable American series. What better way to remove the player from leaving age with one last cheer the team captain whims?
 

1969 AMC SC - Rambler

"New" and radically different Hurst SC / Rambler was notabe performance of "extras" like they had never seen an American car before the series makes it different from other Americans. Although the great body and the interior was the same as the '69 two-door hardtop Rambler listed other very significant changes are made to this car is radically different than any other model in the series:

• Laminated front and rear lips sink to large sizes of tires and soil slides

• "Letter Box" snorkel hood scoops, functional "Ram Air"

• Cold Ram Air Induction w / vacuum operated metal sinks and indoor / outdoor bath air cleaner assembly

• back "pair links to" similar to those used AMX, and performance with spears

• 16: 1 rapid manual steering ratio of 20:01 compared to control other non-car power steering Americans

• The fan front disc brakes instead of drums in front of

• Blue pinted Magnum 500 Styled Steel Wheels with center caps and Deep Dish brushed trim rings

• AMX 390 V-8 with 315hp and 425 lbft torque

• Rugged 4-speed transmission Manua floor (T-10) with lever Hurst Competition

• 3.54 "Twin-Grip" limited slip differential rear Dana 20

• Rambler SC / Hurst emblems on the sides and back of the sail

• tail light lenses and black wing panel

• Chrome hood pins holding the wires

• Thrush glass pack muffler style slice of bologna and tilted 2 "dual exhaust sytem

• Red, white, blue and headrest square back split bench front seats

• Three radio wood grain sports steering wheel rim

• clamp flush, swivel wheel column mounted Sun Tach S635

• Left and right mirrors like those used on Hurst Olds '68 / '69

While some of these objects came from the factory, all the body modifications and special components added and acquired by the Company of Hurst. Major mechanical components and body have been improved or different from others whose Ramblers Rogues from strains SC. Although some argue that the chassis LC train is different from other Americans '69 it is commonly accepted that there was no significant difference apart from the additional period amounts necessary to connect the links of the pair of AMC AMX and spears performance equipment for Rogue-based frame.

Fortunately, all Americans 68 and took an extra layer of skin into the lower panels to set, just in time for the couple acccomodate dramatic increase in the AMC 390 has become the driving force behind the creation of the performance capabilities Legendary SC / Rambler! There is documented evidence that the chassis is more rigid SC otherwise the mounting plates for the relationship and the impact plate compensation in access on the left side of the trunk, although some sources indicate that the SC uses additional reinforcements are used for the convertible models to increase structural rigidity.

A possible distinction was remarkable - there was only one factory option avaialbe, radio AM! That's it - there were no other options to the factory. All other options are available as dealer options and was mainly limited to the options list with the Group 19 elements such as a 290 hydraulic camshaft, heavy lifting and dual valve springs, Mallory dual point of reefs distributor coil, AMC logo'd Edlebrock intake manifold and a Holley 930 CFM R4B three Barell Carburetor with a huge vacuum controlled secondary necessary step-out is seen today in the back of the opening of the carburetor vintage AMC R4B collectors. Company memos proof that there was no options than AM radio, and all the performance improvements have been ordered by the dealer. And they were ordered, with most of the SC / Ramblers upgraded for racing and terrorize class F at local drag strips across the country.

Almost all body parts are common to the 1967-69 American body. There are some differences that limit the body, which can be divided into the first car.

Body styles and trim.

Body style only had the two-door hardtop finish Rogue.

Engines.

The only engine available is the 390 cid V-8. The seven character code Vin and displays the size of the original engine and is still an "X" for a real SC / Rambler.

AMC Rebel "The Machine" 1970 Review

American Motors Grand halo performance vehicle made its official debut October 25, 1969 in Dallas, Texas, home to the final of the World National Hot Rod Association Drag Race. The machine was developed from a collaboration between Hurst Performance and AMC, but unlike the compact SC / Rambler, there was no formal link between the two parties, once production began.

Wine with special heads, valves, camshaft, and a redesigned exhaust and consumption. It was the most powerful in any vehicle, retaining the AMC necessary for normal functioning of the street, and components to ensure exceptional performance without unit costs high penalty.

American Motors said marketing promoting the "machine is not so fast", the car was able 'to give a number of muscle cars from the big three (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler), to run for their money. "

Machine could result from zero to 60 mph, just 6.4 seconds, a credible performance today.

1970 AMC Javelin SST Trans-Am Review

Javelin is the first of several interesting designs AMC designer Richard Teague that finally gave American Motors something to say, an entry in the pony car category that included the Ford Mustang, Plymouth Barracuda, Mercury Cougar, Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird . The base car comes with a 232 cid six-cylinder in 1968, but the engine was a 390 cid V8 optional large. For this, the elegant Javelin was still in shadow of the old Rambler, its quality tested against the Big Three.

In front of the product, which is believed, and convinced the public, AMC did what any car manufacturer would do. It 'went racing. AMC Javelin was in the SCCA Trans-Am series of production-based cars. By the year 1967 was a series of battlefields, where the factory teams from Ford, GM and Chrysler is fighting for the manufacturers' championship, hitting a punch at times. Mark Donohue, Parnell Jones, Dan Gurney and Peter Revson and teams called Penske, Bud Moore and Carroll Shelby in Trans-Am series lasts.
 

1970 AMC Javelin SST Trans-Am

Javelin team had only two months to prepare cars for 1968, but then he surprises everyone with 10 top-five years, including six second places, Revson and George Follmer for. Camaro snatched the title, but second place went down to the last race with Mustang Javelin fighting than to settle for third place. Javelin Both drivers at Ford for 1969, and the team javelin forward with little success, but the cars were favorites of the crowd with their bold livery.

Roger Penske and Donohue stunned the racing world when he announced AMC Trans-Am program for 1970 after winning the constructors' championship for Chevrolet in 1968 and 1969. Javelin was again immediately, and close Donohue finished second title of the Mustang Jones', with three wins and four seconds. Donohue was shot near the AMC president William Luneburg, with one of a handful of Javelin Trans-Ams built in the street.

Bill Scheffler Westport, Connecticut, owns this Javelin Trans-Am Car Street. Only 100 were built in 1970, maybe 20 have survived. These cars were the 390 CID Go package, but each of the Trans-Am was equipped with tricolor paint, Hurst four high-speed, Ram Air hood, spoilers, 140-mph speedometer, tachometer, power steering, front disc brakes, heavy-duty suspension , and raised white letter rings mag-style wheels. Copies of the plant was designed for 340 hp and 430 Nm

Inside, a vast expanse of wood grain wall extending over the dashboard. Optional Ventilair vinyl seats are soft, but it offers a surprising amount.

The engine of this top-of-the-line SST (supersonic transport for) is also a flashback. The 390 starts and idles with a magnificent roar. Steering is lighter than expected. The clutch action is light but the brake pedal down a long way to go before something happens. Press the accelerator, however, and all is forgotten. The first and second gears are short, are entering the third and fourth, and the car just pulls and pulls and pulls some more.

However, the most striking feature is his painting Javelin system of red, white and blue wide strips from front to back. Scheffler authenticated the originality of your car with paint code of the factory, and inspection of spraying the three colors beneath the door sills. His spear, which was owned by a collector for almost 30 years, shows 21,000 miles.

AMC performs, winning the Trans-Am in 1971. AMC bought Kaiser Jeep in 1970 and developed a series of revolutionary 4WD passenger vehicles. Chrysler bought AMC in 1987, mainly to access the Jeep, and auto production lines over AMC.

1970 AMC Gremlin Review

One day in 1966, the AMC design chief Richard Teague on a commercial flight to Detroit mulling over ideas for the "new wave" of subcompact cars that the four had plans to compete with the VW Bug. The VW had shown that the new generation of Americans had a strong interest in a cheap economy car that still retains a degree of "style" that will be attractive to young buyers.

American Motors' entry of the old economy, Rambler American, had no real youth appeal to everyone, and design (and the Rambler nameplate itself) should have been eliminated by the 1970th
 

The plans were already underway to replace a Rambler opaque with a completely new car compact, which was then designed using the elements of the Vixen and the Cavalier to design exercises that had already been shown to the public. But a new car, which eventually debut Hornet is a compact, not a family car. AMC still the price leader.

 

Teague was under several restrictions. AMC development budget was tiny compared to the largest car manufacturers, so the new car was to use all existing central AMC - were not developing new engines.

As a result, the new concept had to be physically small enough to be considered a subcompact, but large enough to accommodate 199/232 AMC straight six. In addition, the AMC is determined to get their cars on the market ahead of Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge competition, and the fastest (and cheapest) way to do this was to minimize conversion costs as much as possible using existing parts.

Suddenly, Teague had an idea ... And if he took the platform Javelin brand new, just "chopped" it off as short as possible to make a subcompact?

In this way, the new car could share as many tools as possible with an existing model, yet a completely different profile "personality" of the car in general. Teague grabbed the nearest piece of paper and sketched out the idea and the same sheet of paper all the way back to the studio when it was time to spot a suggestion. Never before has an air sickness bag has played a crucial role in a program of new car!

First draft of Teague eventually became massive as the AMX-GT, which was first presented to see the New York International Auto in April 1968.
 

At this time, Teague "common platform" concept had been implemented with the AMX, which premiered in March. The AMX, which was originally planned as a unique offer, ended up being the first expression of Teague "cut" strategy. Built on a short 97 "wheelbase, the production AMX was a virtual twin of the javelin" B "pillar forward, but also shared a rear window, trunk lid, a light bar and rear bumper his javelin parents. AMX-GT was also a 97 "wheelbase and share your design with the javelin forward, but the rest of the design was much more faithful to the original idea of ​​Teague provide the car with a unique personality. As in the original design of Teague, the GT is essentially a spear abruptly truncated by a curve "Kammback" instead of the conventional trunk. The result is very similar to the Gremlin known, although much lower and smoother.

The AMX-GT is not really considered for production, especially after the success of the AMX sports car. However, Teague was never one to abandon a good idea, and the basis of "Kammback" concept was simply transferred to the next platform being developed ... Hornet compact proposal.

Once again, self kammback would share everything, pillar "B" forward, is an old car, but behind the share to be unique.

This concept kammback time all the way to production, and the new subcompact has been named "Gremlin" before him in April 1970 launch.

The new Gremlin quickly became a huge hit with young, first time car buyers interested in the economy. Although ridiculed by some observers as "half a car" at the time, the basic design kammback proven very durable and has inspired a host of imitators over the next twenty years.

Gremlin Base (available in 2 - and 4-seat configurations in the first place), were united in 1971 by Gremlin X, which used mag wheels and stripes tape borrowed Javelin for a sporty look.

Gremlins had some muscle to congratulate the sporty look in 1972, when the 304 V8 became an option. Original Gremlin was restyled for 1974 (bumper and grille), shape, and 1977 (a new front clip, rear lights and rear window treatment), and will be updated again in 1979, when it came to Spirit Sedan (new processing front end, new rear quarter panel). The final variation of the Gremlin Kammback Aquila, who had a 4WD sedan version of the Spirit.

A common rumor heard around the AMC in the late 70's was a 4-dr Gremlin / Spirit was expected. The ideas would be quite useless to be so close in concept to the existing Concord Wagon, but the idea was adopted by the LCA, MAC-based partner who produced Mexico Mexico Lerma-kun 2 and 4 configurations doors.

Lerma, mainly in collaboration with the Spirit Concord sedan with a body longer, and the result was very similar to that of today and the Olds Cutlass Chevy Citation, "saloon" popular at that time.

By the mid-70, MAC game design studio with design ideas for renovating the aging Gremlin. Some of these experiences, such as XP 1974 Gremlin, were exercises designed around a production Gremlin. Others, such as "Concept I" and "Concept II," only existed on paper and represents a completely new car from scratch.

In the end, AMC, combined with front-end design, "Gran Turismo", a concept car and the rear part of the 1974 "Gremlin G / II," Wheel Car Show parts for the production of Gremlin, Spirit Liftback. Production of '79 Spirit Liftback seemed very similar to G / II concept car, minus the rear quarter of the latter "swelling".

The decision to retain the traditional style "kammback" Gremlin as the Spirit sedan was a very late stage in the design, prototype production Saloon in Kenosha, it was not until December 1978, and after the Liftback was already in full production.

The sedan was launched in early 1980, and was built before production ceased in 1983 Spirit. This marked the end of the road for the car that was fun, looking for an American phenomenon.

AC Aceca Review

Developed in 1954 and produced until 1963, AC Aceca began life with a 1991cc engine from the AC Ace. This camshaft inline six-cylinder engine was designed by John Weller, the original owner of the AC, as far as the 1919th was a good engine, but it was at the end of its development, and so Aceca of (and indeed, Ace) was also offered with two versions of the engine that fueled the 405th Bristol

The Bristol engine, originally designed by BMW, was again a six-cylinder, but produces about 125 horsepower and gave her enough to maintain the performance of competitive car. To my knowledge, the Aceca was also available powered by a "B" version of this engine was biased at about the same power as the air conditioning unit.

AC Aceca

To complicate things, around 1962, when Bristol Motor was not available, the company uses a version of the Ford Zephyr engine. He was without doubt the finest DC 2553.

However, no matter which engine was installed, the body was a fastback two places of modest size, but with the accent firmly on performance rather than comfort.

Acceleration and top speed put him on top of the class of (time), and driving characteristics, was exceptional. Suspension is fully independent of all using a transverse leaf spring. Complement the handling characteristics and performance of the car was ready for a nice change of torque, engine, at least Bristol is made from a high area.

AC Aceca

When a top speed of 115 mph and zero to 60 times for 10 seconds is a jump from the competition, but was derived from the success in maintaining the track, but also helped to keep him in front of the queue.

Gasoline at the time was much cheaper and the air conditioning was introduced around 25mpg on a run and had a great, today, 13 gallon fuel tank with a radius of 300 miles.

It is perhaps one of the major car manufacturers, it is not often you see a car in 1960 and, as far as I can remember, I always just wanted to say a couple at that time. But it was a car that gets noticed and remembered!

Statistics are presented below for the Aceca Bristol Motor, AC version has a top speed around 105 mph and maybe a second faster or slower.
