Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I'd have to be convinced with some documentation that it's a genuine S/CRambler. As a '69 it should have side marker lights (okay, those could've been removed and the holes welded over). This could also be a '67-'69 American Rogue hardtop. Just because it's painted in the S/CRambler "A" paint scheme (there's also a "B" paint scheme with different stripes) doesn't mean it's an S/CRambler.

And it's QA1 suspension, not "Qal". I know, the YB poster typed it wrong, too.

This car, eh.
Not to go too far off topic, but the IKA-Renault Torino sold in Argentina is based on the Rambler American, and those cars are very very cool.

FormerFF 2025 is not shaping up to be a good year for the Save the Manuals folks.
Arthur Dailey $42k USD??????? For a Camry? What is the world coming to? This vehicle still has a front end/air dam/lack of road clearance that would make it too difficult to drive in heavy snow conditions. It certainly won't be going off road. So what is the AWD for? If a buyer insists on an AWD Toyota, I would suggest a Corolla Cross instead of this.

Guy 90's name, does Cavalier count it was around before,during and after the 90's. A Corsica SUV with a Beretta SUV "coupe" counterpart? On the aside if they keep the Durango name they have to keep it in Detroit per the UAW. Change the name and its not a next gen Durango anymore.
