@Rick-S-6063 I'm not gonna lie. There is a special place in my heart for Chevy orange. Besides it being cheerful, it's one of my earliest memories of starting to recognize components common to an engine compartment. Besides, You get an extra 50 horse from keeping that engine paint shiny and the bright red plastic of that new, non-Delco HEI rotor, cap, and coil. 😆 🤣 😂 😹

When I was a kid, my neighbor must have been an auto aficionado and had money. I remember him driving a '68 AMC-AMX one year. The next year he was driving a '69 Sc/Rambler that looked much like this one. The year after that he was driving a '70 Rebel Machine with the Red-White-Blue color scheme. Those were enjoyable days!

Huge AMC fan here!! Great Job guys. I used to build them years ago. Now I'm too messed up and old to have that kind of fun any longer. One car id love to see built is a 79 AMX Spirit model. My last was built for bracket racing ... easily a 200 mph runner. Back than we had Crane, Centerforce,Federal Mogul, companies like that to get our stuff . Fabricating was a huge undertaking, no digital stuff back then.

Got an acquaintance here in Montreal who built a clone (Scrambler) that looks 100% stock and looks awesome. He runs in stock class, and they try to kick him off the strip for running in the VERY low 10's, lifting the front left wheel, but they can't because he's STOCK! He's also got a '68 ('69?) AMX which runs in the 8's. GO AMC!!!!! I still have my very first car; a pre-AMX '68 Javelin. Paid $275 for my turd (back then), and now get show trophies and run in the 12's. It's been a 45 year budget build. It will NEVER leave me or my family!! GO AMC!!!!!

My first impression was wow so nice! I then waited to see what the power plant was before I continued viewing. A very impressive build. Other than weight what does the edelbrock head bring to the build over the stock heads? The use of LS rods is intriguing, what mods are involved? I know the stock rods are more than capable of high rpm dependability but are still a steel rod with the inherent weight difference over aluminium. What a clean and beautiful build. The back seat area is so well done and very reminiscent of an AMX! Love the whole interior beautiful. My late brother-in-law was one of these strange lovers of amc products and an unmolested scrambler is in his small collection and this is an amazing tribute/upgrade to all of them. He also has/d a 68 x with a 390 with factory numbered edelbrock cross ram and a 71 401 AMX. He would’ve totally loved this build. You certainly made my day after I saw your video. Cheers

Awesome build, loves that stupid car back in the day. D The Manual Steering, Brakes, Manual trans, firm suspension all point to the 60s Muscle Car "Character". I was lucky to have a 64 Corvette Convertible with 4 options, 3.73 gear, 365 HP 327, Red White Interior, Hardtop. It was bare bones Corvette with 365 HP and I loved it. That is the way you built this Scrambler, although AC likely helped the owner. Yes today I own a Corvette but 2014 Auto, Steering, Brakes, Air, even magnetic shocks. All make it nice BUT it lacks the Character of my Old 64 Vette or your 69 Rambler. Great build nice video. Thanks, Dennis in Virginia

An engine is a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion. I assume that is why they are called motor vehicles. What did you learn that is different?
