  1. The Rambler models built in Argentina were mostly powered by the Kaiser SOHC inline six. The cam only had 6 lobes as each lobe operated both valves. Plus it was a hemi head.

  2. In the late 50s and early 60s AMC had profuction facilities in a lot of countries. When BMW was on the ropes in 1959 or so two companies tried to buy in. AMC and Rover. And l knew about Ramblers being built in Europe by Renailt in the early 80s.

  3. These facilities were not owned or run by AMC. Except for in Canada. The foreign assembly operations were building vehicles under license. Major assembly operations included Renault in Belgium and in Iran. Models built in Argentina were models no longer built in the US. The IKA models also used components from more than one model. Say doors and center section from the Classic and rear quarters from the American

  4. The current Torino race version is powered by a DOHC 24 V version of the AMC/Jeep 4.0. About as "stock"as NASCAR is.

  6. AMC sold RHD cars to the Post Office in the late 60s. I wonder if they just sourced the RHD dash from Oz.
