We had several in the area as well, but the internet shopping just like everything else killed them. The swap meets that survived are just shells of what they once were. I miss the days of getting those at the crack of dawn and not leaving until 5-6 pm that night. Now even the bigger ones I can walk in 2 hours or less. Everyone wants new.

The SC/Rambler was AMC's answer to the muscle car craze, designed to take on Detroit’s giants. It was based on the compact Rambler Rogue but stuffed with a 390 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. This high-compression engine cranked out 315 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque, paired exclusively with a Hurst-shifted 4-speed manual transmission.
Attention-Grabbing Design
AMC made sure you wouldn’t miss it on the street:
Most models came in a red, white, and blue "A-scheme" paint job, earning it the nickname "The Scrambler."
A large ram-air hood scoop featured bold "390 CU IN" lettering.
Optional "B-scheme" cars had more subtle styling with blue sides and a central red stripe.
Magnum 500 wheels and raised white-letter tires completed the aggressive look.
Lightweight Performance
Weighing in at just over 3,000 pounds, the SC/Rambler had an incredible power-to-weight ratio. It could rocket down the quarter-mile in about 14 seconds straight from the factory—a true budget-friendly drag racer.
Limited Numbers, Big Legacy
Only 1,512 SC/Ramblers were produced, making them highly collectible today. Each car was street-ready but also track-capable, with features like heavy-duty suspension, anti-hop rear bars, and power-assisted front disc brakes.
Why It Stands Out
The 1969 Hurst SC/Rambler wasn’t just another muscle car—it was a statement. Its bold styling, raw performance, and exclusivity made it one of the most exciting offerings of the era. For those who wanted to stand out at the drag strip and in the carpool line, the SC/Rambler was the ultimate underdog.

It is amazing to me that more people didn’t race these. I know they are worth some money now days, but with the power to weight ratio they had I bet if you could get them to hook up they were screamers.

Not too bad of a retro look other than the rear bumper, I think they missed the mark on that. I'd still drive it though

Jersey QQ's?
When I was in high school there was this local girl in her 20's everyone knew; she was cute but she was actually more well known for daily driver. Daddy had built her a '70 SS396. Red w/black stripes and cowl induction hood and centerline wheels. Beautiful car. I remember the exact day later in my senior year on a rainy day someone tried to run a yellow by the river (if you're from SJ then you might know it, the 40/559/Main St interchange in Mays Landing bulkhead by Sugar Hill Inn) and plowed into the driver's front corner. Rode right past it on my bike not 10 min after it happened; almost cried when I saw it. ****** half that front end, the fender and hood all up. She had to transfer her plate to another car.....it was some mid-late 80's car running around with her custom 'SS396' plate.

Yes, Jersey QQ's

Know the area well, rented a place right down the street in Scullville off 559 with three other guys when we worked at the casino's in AC. That's a shame about her car, similar story, in the late 70's, had a friend that had just bought a '69 Judge, only had it three days when he was t-boned by a guy that ran a red light, he did cry. Too many of those old cars suffered that same fate.

Flying Dodge Challenger Crashes Into Multiple Roofs, Cuts Power to Thousands​

Story by Emmet White
2 min read



Flying Dodge muscle cars are all fun and games when seen in TV shows starring Tom Wopat and John Schneider. But one real-world Challenger driver in Idaho who got their steed airborne over the weekend was met with tragic results, according to reports from the Nampa Police Department.

The incident occurred on Sunday, December 1 in Nampa, Idaho, when the driver of a white Dodge Challenger apparently lost control while driving at a high rate of speed, clipped a berm, and was sent flying into a home on the 1000 block of East Amity Street, according to the NPD. Police received initial reports of the incident, which cut power to around 3000 town residents, just after 9 o'clock in the morning.

The muscle car's front-seat passenger was killed in the crash, authorities said, adding that the driver and back-seat passenger were injured and transported to area hospitals.

A Reddit user with the username TheSandMan208 posted about the crash on the r/IdiotsInCars subreddit, claiming to have lost power around 9 a.m. local time before it was returned around 3 p.m. They also claim that the vehicle was removed from the roof of the house later that same afternoon.

"My power has been out for over 4 hours now because some idiot was going over 100mph and couldn't make the turn. This caused them to hit a dirt mound in a yard, jump the lawn, land on the roof, hit the chimney of said roof, drive off that roof and onto the neighbor's roof, and crash through their roof," the post reads.

Pictures of the aftermath from neighborhood residents show a trail of destruction leading across one home's rooftop over to a second, where the Challenger is smashed nose-first into the top of the house with the rear wheels seemingly driven into the structure.

A statement by the Nampa Police Department confirms this was a single vehicle accident.

"No other vehicles were involved in the crash but there was damage to powerlines, causing a power outage that has since been restored," the statement reads. "No one in either home was injured; however, both houses have extensive damage. None of the injured are being identified, pending family notification. The investigation is ongoing."

1972 Dodge Demon
The 1972 Dodge Demon was a distinctive muscle car designed for performance and style. Built on the compact Plymouth Duster platform, it featured a bold, aggressive design with a sloping front end and wide stance. Under the hood, it offered a range of engines, from the 318 V8 to the potent 340 V8, delivering impressive power for its size. The Demon was also known for its unique "Demon" badge, which was later discontinued due to its controversial association with the occult. Despite the shortened production run, the Demon remains a standout example of early '70s American muscle.
