picture of my rambler

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.

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

 

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.
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.

 

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

 

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.

 

cant wait till my 62 is finished

 

holy dead thread batman!

 

keep the snorkle. It looks very amc ish

 

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?

 

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.

 

A disassembled Rebel Machine hood in my basement. A car that I wish I still had. It had a non standard (Prestolite) charging system like fleet vehicles had. It should have been the standard Motorola system.It looked as if it came from the factory that way, no signs of a swap. My only guess was there was a shortage of parts at the assembly point and they used what they had to keep production going(?).
