eBay is a treasure trove of strange and unique cars. After all, it is a huge marketplace. I thought it might be fun to wander through eBay Motors, alphabetically, and see what sort of weird things I could find.
Next up, AMC.
The obvious choice would be the AMX, AMC’s entrant into the Pony Car wars, doing battle with Mustangs, Camaros, Firebirds and ‘Cudas. And I do like AMXs. They are pretty cool… But they are the obvious choice.
So, how about a 1969 AMC Hurst S/C Rambler Scrambler.
The Rambler was a pretty boring car, from a very conventional company. But, giving it a warm-over from Hurst changed the dynamic.
Originally there were just 500 of them, but they were so popular that AMC made two more 500 car batches. From the Wikipedia entry for the AMC Rambler:
Although designed as a no-nonsense economy car, the American spawned the audacious SC/Rambler developed with Hurst Performance. While AMC planned to produce only 500 for the 1969 model year, the Scrambler proved so popular two more groups of about 500 each were built. All featured the same 390 cu in (6.4 l) V8, four-barrel carburetor, and close-ratio four-speed transmission of the AMX, plus Hurst shifter, Twin-Grip (limited slip) differential, and cold air hood.
One thing is certain… it isn’t a car that gets lost in a parking lot.
