Why it matters
The 'B' scheme was the toned-down second paint option for the Hurst SC/Rambler, added when AMC extended production for dealers who wanted a less flamboyant car. It makes up roughly one-third of the 1,512 cars built.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colour productionSC/Ramblers painted in B scheme (of 1,512) | 2971 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
After AMC built 500 'A' scheme cars, demand outran supply and some dealers wanted a more subdued look. AMC used spare 390 engines from the AMX programme to add another 1,000 SC/Ramblers, and the 'B' scheme appeared with them.
