Seeing the article about the Scrambler registry in Hemming’s Muscle Machines inspired me to bring this car back to life. Thanks for the encouragement and support of the Registry. |

I personally think the car should be driven and I am not too concerned with appearance. The paint is worn through in several places from the sun. I have rebuilt the engine and had the seats re-upholstered. Body work and paint can come later. I am looking forward to my next trip down the quarter mile shortly. |

1970
Phoenix dragstrip, Mel Larson’s
The old photos show the car with cheater slicks. You can also see the hood scoop does not have the AIR decals. |

 Got to love that for sale sign in the window and the vintage price .

1969

I purchased my Scrambler in September, 1969 from Randall AMC in Mesa, Arizona. I was the first and only owner of this car. It was one of the first few built as can be evidenced by the VIN number. The car was assembled in mid January, 1969. It spent its first few months as a factory demo car. When I purchased the car in September it had 3000 miles on the odometer. The car was acquired by Randall AMC, my guess is because of the relationship Grant Randall had with the factory regarding race cars. I was surprised to see an A scheme car on the lot so late in the year. Randall also had 3 B scheme cars on the lot. Randall installed a new engine minus the smog pump and with the exhaust manifold holes plugged. The car also did not have the ram air damper in the hood scoop. Judging by the way the hole in the hood was crudely hacked out I doubt it ever had a damper. I wonder if any of the other early Scramblers have a hood like this? The car has 3.91 gears in the rear instead of the usual 3.54 ratio. |
