No, but close enough.

Damn. Still cool anyhow, especially if you've been bugging them to sell it to your for awhile!

nice score. im surprised the tires are still holding air. i like the idea of keeping the sleeper look, big block, steel wheels with hubcaps and cheater slicks FTW

Lower it, play with the grille (maybe a tube grille), shave the handles, swap out the tail lights (not sure for what but swap them for the sake of swaping).. I'd paint it a deep candy maroon or burgandy w/ lots of flake.. And a silver or gold flaked top (or maybe white pearl) maybe with some panels (or lace).. Interior would get a flake wheel (or have the stocker pearled), flake the dash and all the exposed sheet metal inside, and I'd go with either white pearl vinyl, or silver or gold flake vinyl to match the top.. Add a set of astros, star wires, or tru spokes on pinner whites and you'd have a sweet cruiser... I'd add a juice set up too and possibly a nice stereo system for some cruising tunes..

Or you could go all aluminium 401 AMC, tub it, cage it, paint it black, and add a set of really wide and not so wide Torq Thrusts and go racin'!!

This is a 67 but it was a competitive car. It was originally a Shell 4000 car. Vern Christy bought it from AMC and we pooled our meager funds so we both could go racing. That is Vern driving at Cayuga probably about 1969.
401 is aslo a great motor. (this car was a 290). I have done a few Rambler Hi perf motors . The one that impressed me the most was the 360. it seemed to respond to everything you did to it.
Having said that I am still leaning to a nailhead buick for that vintage Rambler. Narrow, big power and cubes, fits almost anywhere. I can just imagine it showing up anywhere with one at a cruise night. You would have to wait your turn to have a peak under the hood.
