How many 1969 AMC Hurst SC/Rambler cars were built?

American Motors built 1,512 1969 Hurst SC/Rambler cars. The flamboyant compact was developed with Hurst Performance as a factory-backed drag-racing special, combining a lightweight Rambler American body with serious AMC V8 hardware.

Every SC/Rambler used AMC’s 390-cubic-inch V8, rated at 315 horsepower, paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a Hurst shifter. A Twin-Grip limited-slip differential helped put the power down. The cars were sold as two-door hardtops and were deliberately delivered with few options, emphasizing performance rather than comfort.

Their red, white, and blue paint schemes made them instantly recognizable. The cars appeared in two broad treatments, commonly called the A and B schemes, although historians disagree about the exact split between them. AMC used shared special paint codes, so factory paperwork does not always establish the precise scheme of an individual car.

The name “Scrambler” is widely used by enthusiasts, but SC officially meant “Super Car.” The production total is sometimes confused with the 500-car minimum associated with NHRA stock-class eligibility; 500 was the required threshold, not the final number built.
