Anyone remember the 1966 Rambler American with 4 speed and 290 cu in block?

Question

I had a red one, two door sedan.

Answer 1

There was a few of these made, it would be a rare car today. Even rarer and more valuable would be the 1967 343v8 in a Rogue model American, (offered only for a few months and some catalogues don't even it list it as being available, but it was) I seem to remember that a total of 12 of these were built between convertible and hardtop models. Still, a 290 v8 with a 4 speed would be hard to fault as either a nice driver (especially a 440 convertible) or the 2 door hardtop model either as a Rogue or 440 trim levels. Two tone models were fairly rare items in any case; I cannot remember if they were factory items or not. Those were fairly fast cars especially with the 4 speed transmission. I'm sure it that it must bring back some great memories. Congratulations on being lucky enough to have owned one.

Answer 2

Remember Ramblers and then AMC Javelin and AMC AMX, a car called Javellin.
I am so old remember Rambler dealers in NJ

Answer 3

Owned one, bought it from my sister in 1968 for $800. Drove it for two years and might still have it, but a Cady hit he almost head on and destoyed it. Loved that 2800 lb. little rocket.

Answer 4

I once drove a Javelin with the same drivetrain. Very pleasant ride.
