THANKS ARIZONA FOR ANOTHER SURVIVOR CAR Rambler American (pretense to the Rebel) 2dr HT and cars like this are at the top over buyers list. Nice solid car - has been in Az many yrs.. Nice body, little to no rot, nice stainless too. It was parked and not used much since the 90s Mileage shows about 125k FROM this car, came the later model Rebel, which are also very rare these days. LOW RESERVE ...bid on it to win ! So many ways to build this car. Leave as is ? V8 swap with steelies and poverty caps ? Or leave the I6 motor and enjoy it as is, the motor is fine, not yet done any road test. It will need some brakework, water pump, new rad hoses, alternator belt, cleaned fuel tank first before its ready for the road. Some of the work has been started already. More INFO below

This wagons been sitting about 20 yrs here in the Az climate, hence the baked white re-paint from 25+ yrs ago. Radiator is missing. No idea condition of the factory V8 engine, dont think it turns over by hand. So expect a swap or rebuild in its future. No signs of ANY major rust or rot on the body and Ive seen no signs of previous damage or bondo. If its there, I cant see any evidence.Chrome in nice shape. As is all the glass too. Interior has alot of sun and heat damage.

Up for Auction: I wont end it early, sorry.
DRIVETRAIN: factory Inline 6 w/ lots of room for a modern V8 swap too. I poured gas down the carb, and after 3 or 4 times it fired and ran with no weird noises. When it was parked about 10 yrs ago it was running and driving fine. I installed some new plug wires and a new cap. Trans and rearend should be fine. To make it a driver, it would prob be good to clean out the tank and will need a new fuel pump. The one on the car was leaking. Water pump was locked up, so I pulled it off and was getting ready to install a new one. So at the moment the radiator, fan and old water pump are removed and carefully now in the trunk for now. I looked into it, and rebuilt pumps are on Ebay for less then a bill. Also, looks like this engine uses a 61-64 version water pump for some reason. Maybe its a very early 65 model car ? Time for a modern EFI swap ?
INTERIOR: take a look at the pics, Az heat has taken its toll on alot of it, but in some areas its not bad. All the glass is good, and still has the factory radio. Seats look fair, and are dry and hard. It does have the front buckets option at least. Interior floors are in great shape in car. I think it would clean up nice with a few repairs inside and be okay for a driver. Redo the seats and it would make a huge improvment, thats for sure. Interior of the trunk very nice but because of the lovely rubber trunkmat, it did aquire some rust in the trunk, mostl on the left side lower area. Plenty of pics below. Dash cluster has a few bulbs out.
EXTERIOR:the body is straight for its age,with minimal dents from front to rear. Nice body for being 50+ yrs old. Chrome and stainless not in bad shape either. Body has a few dents and looks like the LR had some minor work-repair way back in the day. The rockers are in great shape. It does have 1 non working headlight. Even as is, this car gets ALOT of attention sitting in our yard. ALSO there are 2 holes in the hood from the previous owner, they thought it would be a good idea to mount the Antenna there and also a hood lock. (see pics) some are before and some are after I took the units off. Now they are "cooling vent" holes :) They are aprox 1.5" diameter each.
SUSPENSION:the suspension looks normal from what I can make out, basically the way it came out of the factory except some stuff replaced over the yrs from normal wear n tear. With the lack of alot of east coast rot, making it easy to come apart. Drum brakes front and rear. Has a set of just okay roller 14" tires on the stock steel wheels. I did install a new master cylinder but couldnt get the lines bleed. Also needs a new RF wheel cylinder installed ( a new one comes with the car) So for now, no brakes unless I can get the lines bled, then Ill install the new wheel cylinder too. The front springs both have a small old school bolt in spacers in each, butpersonally Id just take them out to give the car a nice mild rake. For now I left them in. Minimal rust under the car -Certainly nothing like an East coast car this old. FOR a 55+ yr old car, its amazingly rot free. Check out ALL the pics below ----->
it may take a full minute for them all to load ifyou have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more infoAFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
Probably The BEST represented AMCs on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks. Having as much as the original steel on a non restored car these speaks volumes. Survivors are getting harder to find ! Many of these cars went to the crusher 20 yrs ago Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.
Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. We show you as much feasibly possible via pics. Dont let auctions withlittle to no pics try to fool you.

While we go over our cars with great pics to help making your decision easier. Along with ANY other questions you may have. Email me for a quote for shipping.
