Come on now - ALL Ramblers are beautiful I had a 65 220 2dr with black primer front fenders on a white car in 1980 before primer was cool http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I never could get a chick to ride in it (my own mother refused to be seen it)

PS - Rocky what was your best time in that beauty??

[Rocky]

10.67 on the bottle with the flathead 6...

[Tuck]

hahahahhaha

I love how the ramblers have a LOVE/HATE affect on people...

I loved mine at the drags...especially when I kicked rockys ASS!!! It RULED... and that car has alot of potential!
but thats just me...
Tuck

[Rocky]

No, wait.........I think I've made a mistake or 2. Uhhhhhhh, the 10.67 was refactored to a 24.something. And now that I remember back a little, I guess Tuck did eventually beat me with his 65....In fact, he beat me every pass at the 1/4 mile but once I kicked his ass in the 1/8th.

[dixiedog]

10.67 on the bottle with the flathead 6...

Oh Hell Yes!!!

Now that gives me wood!!!

See everybody - these are diamonds in the rough http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

The Ramblers Reigned on race day!

[dixiedog]

[Rocky]

My second favorite shot.....the photo doesn't lie [much]

[lostparts]

she might look i little funny now, but just wait for the metal flake paint, wide tires, and the 350 i just finished goes in. and as far as picking up chicks, i just got my seats back, thats right keepin them bench beauties in just for the ladies.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[imfatdad]

You had me until I saw 350...... Brootal, back me up.., Keep 'er all AMC....

[redpunk]

Lostparts, that post about your bench seat reminded me of the song "Bench Seat" by Fred Eaglesmith.. Its all about Benchseats and chics.. You would dig it...

[Elrusto]

Here is my EX-Rambler

Obviously can't handle the power of an AMC V8. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

BTW, that snorkel sure as shit ain't no "AMC thing". Looks more like a Mopar or Ford offering.

Quite scary how many Rambler owners there are popping up around here.

Brootal - The ORIGINAL Rambler owning Hamber. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[desertratrodder]

It is scary how many Ramblers are still around. Heres another one!!

[mytlo56]

You go man. That thing is gonna' be real cool all gasser'd up. As I'm not really an Rambler type of guy, what are you running for a motor in her?

[LEEBO]

GEE Brootal

LOL. Didn't your Mum ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say... DON'T. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

You don't say anything for a year, probably lurking around like a sewer rat, chasing all them inbred chicks in that hick town you live, THEN, you have the nerve to come on here and call the World's fastest/coolest/ginchiest Rambler A VALIANT!?!?!?

Hi. Nice to see you back. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[LEEBO]

Hey brootal

Almost sold the EK last week, had a guy chasin it and I had a 70 Dodge Phoenix orginised for $3500 BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THATS NOT GONNA HAPPEN NOW SO ITS BACK TO THE SATIN BLACK.

Hows thw big Rumbler goin??, Rippers moved down this way now so I,m no longer alone, his shiny yellow pickup looks O so kool down here with the mozzie covered front end

[dixiedog]

Lostparts - youre keeping the fold down seat you Must keep the motor AMC-how about a 304-360-390-401 all the same block, will shoe horn in there right nicely, I saw some down at spring rod run in your body style, hell it was even a factory option. If you have any questions let me know my boy is a AMC-Jeep guru and can tell you what you need to build a motor to make it run like a gasser not just look like one.

EL rusto, do you have anymore pics?

[lostparts]

hey dixiedog, thanks for the imformation offer. but i'm a small block chevy fan, with shelves for carbs, intakes, and headers, for those type motors. at this point in my life i'm kind of sticking with what i know.

[porknbeaner]

Brootal
You're right about leaving the AMC V8 in.
Yea MOPAR did a snorkel lookin thing in the late '60s or early '70s.
But it seems to me that AMC did a Red White and Blue bodied thing with the same snorkel lookin thing about the same time.
I'm probably wrong, anyway I never liked 'em when they were cool.
Its kinda like going to the Nostalgia Races and seeing an old Willies with a prostock bump back by the windshield. I know ya gotta get air in but it just aint right.

BTW LostParts build it the way ya like it. The name of the game is run what ya brung. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[mr57]

The snorkel hood thingy came on a special edition called the "Rebel Machine" around 70 or so. I think they also had the same type of scoop on the SC/Rambler in the late 60's. Both were white with red and blue stripes. The SC/Rambler actually had a red, white and blue interior.
Ramblers were cool - I had a 65 Classic for a first car, plus a 68 Rebel rag top, and a 81 Concorde. All were cheap, and incredibly reliable cars. The 65 was cool in that the whole interior folded down into a bed!! This was a throwback to the old Nash days.

[Elrod]

Speaking of Ramblers, a co-worker of mine just sent me a link to an auction on ebay for a local theatre group charity. Apparently someone donated a 63 rambler to them and now it's on ebay.

Not mine and I don't know more about it, but thought this was the best post to pass the info along.

[Pist-n-Broke]

I wish I could send you a photo of my Rambler. It's really a A.M.X. but all amc. The 401 and t400 runs consistant 10.40. Keep it all the same breed and work with what you have.

Damn this makes me miss my rambler

[porknbeaner]

Mr57,
I think the closest thing I ever owned to a rambler was a Gremlin. It was a hoot, had the worlds fastest reverse.
They were without a doubt cool cars in their own right.
I did won an old I/H with a 304, I think AMC used the same basic engine for awhile. Talk about stump pulling power. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
OT pistnbroke,
I'm not sure if you caught my last post, so I sent you a private message. We're talkin' about the same danny.

[zman]

man the Gremlin X's were a bunch of fun. It's cool when something that ugly is that fast. 401's fit real nice and surprise the hell out of anyone. I'd like to find another rambler and fix it up as a drag car. Big AMC motor and a four speed. How pissed off would the AMX guys be if I pulled the 390/4 spd package out to put in a rambler... ha ha

[Brootal]

Leebo - The Rumbler's not going anywhere fast at the moment. I just chucked my job in, so it will have to sit a bit longer. I've redone the motor, just needs to be put back together. It needs paint too, but that will have to wait.

I thought it might have been a Rebel Machine scoop, but I thought it was too big. The SC/Rambler had a much narrower Pro Stock style scoop that turned upwards. Weird looking things, that's for sure!

Put whatever you want in it. It's a drag car after all, so you just run with whatever the hell it is you can make go fast. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[rambling]

cant wait till my 62 is finished

[Gerg]

holy dead thread batman!

[edweird]

cool, but i think i'd loose the snorkel.

Yea, i know it's an amc thing, but...keep the snorkle. It looks very amc ish

[Flatheadguy]

coming from a fellow American owner,

that car is DISGUSTING....

I assume that you know the owner/builder personally and that this remark was made with a smile(?). If not, then that "Ass gasket" must have a pretty big hole in it.
NOTE: I am smiling as I type

The year 2003 wishes to thank everyone for the comments.

Todays post was brought to you by the #3, as in 2003! WTF?

[esmith2039]

Search function must be getting better... I wonder if this is anyone's on here.

Too new to be a proper traditional gasser. Those cars made their (small) mark in Super Stock (SC/Rambler model)
A gasser, IMO, would ruin that car.
