Couldn't believe when I stumbled across this! For those newbies, please look here ----> www.the-rumbler.com Same size engine as mine... Dig that crazee paint! Says it was featured in Car Craft, April '06. Anyone got a copy of the mag?
i have the magazine around here somewhere......i remember something about a water pipe roll bar.....neat piece.....brandon
I remember the feature. It's an interesting car. Do you want a copy? PM me your email and I'll scan it and send it to you sometime this weekend. Tom
wow waukegan and kenosha? i have lived in and around both of those places my whole life and never heard of that car at all. amazing.
Ha!!! Don't forget the 24 hour adult video stores and the largest fireworks stores in kenosha!! That car is awesone!!
Here's another from the June 67 Popular Hot Rodding. Also has an in depth article on "Ramblers In Racing" that I could scan and send you if your interested. PM me.
I could make a taxi joke Boris but... Well, I suppose if Gap&Roush could run a taxi you can too. I owe you one.
hell yeah for mars cheese castle. i live in milwaukee now, but fireworks, 24 hour porn outlets and cheese are still so close. was this car built in waukegan or K-town? whats the story?
Wow! Not sure how I missed this post! That pic of the Randall Rambler is awesome, and it just so happens I've seen an original of it. Check out the Falcon and the Chevy in the far lane. Looking at the pics together, you can see the one I posted is taken a few seconds later, or from a slightly different angle. Wonder if it's the same photographer? Too cool...
Randall Rambler was totally into AMC perfprmance. I'm sure you all heard of Yenko Camaro's, Nickey Motion etc. Well Randall made a 401 Gremlin !! I'll search around and see what I can find on it
Isn't that a SC/Rambler in the background? If it is, it's a very rare car in it's own right and one very much worth having in its own right. They were very competitive race cars and put more than a few of the big three's race cars on the trailer.
My dad had a friend he called "Rambler Jim" that raced a car like that in the old Oswego drag strip. I drive by his house ever so often and he still has the car sitting next to the garage at times. I hear he started racing a Ford Lightning truck and just let the rambler sit after a clutch explosion. I remember this rambler won a lot of street races, it was pure American motors he was a true rambler man.
Back in '69-'70 my dad worked for Randall Rambler and Jeep. I would go to work with him on Sat. once in a while. One of the sons was in to road racing also. You wouldn't believe what they had haning from the rafters!!!!! I seem to remember about 10 fiberglass molds/bodies up there. The Gremlin that they did was called the Gremlin X and did it cook!!!!! Good luck and good rodding!!!!!
Great car! Looks like a 67. I used to be into AMC's a few years back. 67 Was the first year of the 343. It just so happens I have a 67 Rogue for sale. It was a drag car most of it's life and needs a complete going over. They made less than 60 of the 343 Rogues.
Found the info on the 401 72 Gremlin www.gremlinx.com/RandallXR.htm they made about 20 or so low 12 sec car
