I'm a huge fan of metal dash's.... Our '77 van has one too. Really makes ya feel like your driving something old. Also, don't have to worry about the dash cracking... LOL
The ultimate drive in movie car! Thanks for sharing your knowledge about it. That’s the extent of what I know about Ramblers. It does have some unique features and seems to be well engineered. 👍🏼
seat folds into a bed? that shows the Nash heritage...my Dad taught me to appreciate the workhorses of the U.S. auto industry, these were the cars most people bought, easy to service under your shade tree, reliable and economical, cheap to buy...it really doesn't get better, if I could go out and buy it new I would!
My folks bought a new 65 or 6 770 Wagon with the 223 I believe. Perfomed without problems for 200,0000 +. My brother inherited it and sold it. Wish I would have bought it. That engine didn't require the re torques.
Wow, we had the same color combo. I begged my parents to hold onto our until I was of driving age, but they sold it and I cried my eyes out. I still think of about the Rambler to this day, it was such a cool car. The two years that past until I was of driving age to I ended up with my Dad’s 74 coupe deVille which I still own to this day. I only wish I had the Rambler too! Thanks for helping me relive seeing it again!
AMC when cars were built with 99% American parts and Canadian labor when needed whole different world when the rambles was born. The fluctuations did you mean heat expansion rate difference between the head and the block?... After all its an old lady car hence the bifocals! Still a cool piece of America iron!
I'm jealous. Beautiful car. Bet it gets great mpg too. So nice to see it in your hands, someone who really appreciates the classic. If it were mine, and I had the budget, maybe add vintage air system and a new stereo. But keep the rest basically stock. Hope you have lots of fun miles in it👍
That's a nice clean little car, awesome find! I love AMC's! Your car reminds me of my papaws old car! It was a white 64. Something happened to it and my dad bought it from my granddad and was going to fix it for us to drive, I was only 9 years old at the time it was 1973 but I remember it well. Sadly it was parked down behind our house and it came a big storm and the creek got up and washed it down stream, the body wasn't hurt but the interior was soaked and smelled, my dad sold it for scrap iron after that. I had high Hope's for it I played in it and couldn't wait till it was fixed again. Gives me a warm feeling to see one again! Looking forward to seeing ya'll do some cruising in it! Thanks for sharing!
My father had a 61??? Rambler with a 3 speed transmission. 1 morning Dad woke me and my brother up at 3am. We drove about 6 hours in the rain to my grandparents cottage on the lake. When we got to our destination the weather was prefect. You cant go back in time but sometimes for just a moment you can.
What a nice and unique classic car...Somebody obviously loved and cared for it over the years...You just got to love the simplistic functionality and beauty of the old classic American 🇺🇸 cars 👍🇺🇸
Hello my name is Joe. I am a proud owner of a 1964AMC RAMBLER. I njoyed your video. I like to know if you would be interested in selling me them spinner hub caps you have in the trunk. I can really put them to use in my Rambler. Please let me know..thank you
I like your comments about drum brakes. I've watched lots of old car videos and they are discussed with a sneer. Huh? What? Car DIDN'T have brakes until disk brakes came along? What do they think we did then, drag our foot out the door to stop the car? I recall those days like yesterday and unless one put the pedal to the metal all the time drums stopped the car.
My dad has the same model except it was a 3 on the tree. I remember the reclining seats and thought they were so cool. Back in the day seat belts were not mandatory and I can tell you the dash was indeed made of metal. Yes, after a sudden stop the dash stopped my head. My dad's car had no radio, manual steering and brakes. It was the first car I learned how drive and to do an oil change and remember how spacious the engine bay was. The last thing I remember was since we lived in Canada, both driver and passenger fenders were prone to rust in the upper wheel well. I totally loved the dog dish "R" hub caps.......this was truly a basic car that got you from point A to point B.....My dad had it from 1966 to 1977 and remember it never burned a drop of oil. I am 6'5" and wish they still made basic spacious cars like this. He paid $800 in 1966 for a 2 yr old car with 1000 miles which is about $7000 today.....try buying a 2 yr old car today for even $10,000!
My dad had the 60 classic 660 wagon in a dark blue. 287 v8 auto, no air, no cruise. I ended up driving it way later in 74 and sold it to friend when it had 125k on it (he drove it to 250k and junked it :( ). The starter, radiator, alternator, and water pump all went before 100k and the timing chain went around 100k or so. My frind had an identical wagon in gold and we use to sing the Allman Brothers "Ramblin' man" and substitute "Rambler Man" for the chorus. Oh the memories :)
I have the exact same car year and motor it’s been good so far just haveing trouble finding the transmission modulator at and what the first couple things you would check when haveing problems with the vacuum for the wipers
Definitely a sweet little Rambler! I assumed the engine would have been a 232, didn't realize they made one smaller. One thing; KEEP THOSE CASTLE NUTS TIGHT ON THE FRONT SPINDLES! I've heard stories of the early 60s Ramblers front wheels coming off on the highway... Take care!
I go in so many remote places, they better be putting charging stations everywhere !! LOL. I like the sound of a combustion engine, it's part of the experience.
@@318willrun Agreed. But, as a young mechanic I wonder how successful they will actually be? I wish I grew up during the time when these were new on the road. Thanks again for sharing. 👍
had a 770classic wagon 289 with a 2 speed trans. what a comfortable car, great in the snow very reliable, good on gas. lost the alternator coming back from philly drove 100 miles no lights no problem. panhard rod broke on my dirt road back wheels were sliding out I pushed the body back over the wheels and welded it together.
What a find, that's a good deal
Thanks for watching ! They are unique !
Cool dash, No plastic anywhere. How refreshing. That's a creampuff. Thanks

Yes on expansion, and the intake being part of the head doesn't help! I wondered why all the old ladies were waving.... Thanks for watching !!
@@318willrun Ford 360 and 390 they had part of the valve cover rail as part of the intake man they suck when it comes to keeping them leak free

Thanks Mitch !! It's a blast to drive ! Sorry to hear about your family's car. Maybe we'll make a deal and put you in a Rambler.... !!
@@318willrun 👍
Great Car! Those Ramblers are great because you just don't see very many. Looks like you found a super clean one!
Thank you ! It is fun to drive....
We know what you had in mind when you saw those seats! 😆
1964 is my year. I'd take any classic from '64.
Impala...Galaxie....Fury.
I love '64 Galaxies. So fun to drive, love the dash in them too.

..... now you know they are motorized beds. You now know that about Ramblers.... LOL
That's funny, I'm in the same boat
Do you know? about it's cousin the 70s Jeep Cherokee and it's wonderful friction drive on their transfer cases oh the joy!!..... NOT!
@@318willrun That’s what sold you. It was a comfort upgrade over the Ramcharger.
What a nice and unique classic car...Somebody obviously loved and cared for it over the years...You just got to love the simplistic functionality and beauty of the old classic American 🇺🇸 cars 👍🇺🇸
Thank you ! Simplicity could be defined in the dictionary with these old cars, especially the simple little straight six.
That thing is awesome. If I could find one in Germany, it would be my daily.

My boss was a Ford man. I bought a AMC Hornet.He said (quote ) What did you buy a Rambler For?
I know they offered the Flathead six until about 1965. My grandmother had one with a manual shift
Guys used to pull the AMC six out and put a Chevy six and transmission in them.
Thumbs up 👍 thanks for sharing your experience

Live the old classics! All makes.
I appreciate all classic cars also. Thanks for watching
Definitely a Drive In cruiser! Simple. Gotta love the rear box ‘stereo’ speakers. Day 2 mod #1.
Thanks ! Day 2, mod 1 LOL
My first car was a '64 Classic 660 wagon, V8, gold with cream roof. Tailgate wouldn't lower because my dad backed into a tree and bent the bumper.
I love the wagons, thanks for sharing !
I have the exact same car year and motor it’s been good so far just haveing trouble finding the transmission modulator at and what the first couple things you would check when haveing problems with the vacuum for the wipers
Just make sure they are getting vacuum. Mine almost stop when giving it gas to climb a hill.

Thanks for the info on the front spindles !!
Man that is a super nice find! Drive it every chance you get and keep it forever type unit right there! Congrats!
We just returned from a beautiful cruise! Thanks for watching !
I have a 66 AMC Ambassador. What does the vacuum line from the wiper motor connect to?
the vacuum booster on the fuel pump, I do believe
Love it!!!!
thanks for watching !
I’m also thinking about selling mine how much do you think is a good offer it mid condition
I guess I a lot would depend on your area. Hard for me to put a price on a car without seeing it in person, honestly
He's a Franklin park circle hero, with a car full of kids and snow cones.
Ha ! Thanks for watching
Drove one for years in high school.
Very nice car ! Congratulations that's a great find!
Hey, my man !!!! Glad to hear from ya !!!!! Thanks !!
Pretty solid car and cool seat option.
Thanks!
