    I'd never want one of these unless she was a wagon but damn this car is very straight and should be saved but I guess the car needs an AMC fan to do so. Thanks for posting

    I bought a 1959 Rambler Ambassador in 1974 when I was 17 for $100.00. The guy said he had to drive 3 hours to pick up the title but he would write me a receipt and I could take the car, which I did. Never did see him or the title afterwards. So, since I couldn't register it, my friend and I bajaed through the woods in it until it couldn't take it anymore and gave up the ghost. I didn't care, I bought a 67 Pontiac LeMans 2 dr for $350.00 by then.

    If it’s only the floor boards which have gone away, you could fix that relatively easily and ramble on!

    "It's a Mordoor!"
    You say that like it's an insult, sir!😁
    Seriously, a commenter said it would take an AMC fan to save this car...if only I had the space, tools, and budget. Besides, I'm used to bringing home cars other people don't look at twice.

    Benny and the jets that is a cool car for a more door. Because you just don't see any of them. Probably would be easy to get running. Merry Christmas to you and your mom.

    That is interesting to see that '60 Rambler has single headlights. All the others I'd seen had double headlights.

    Get it, you won't regret it! That is awesome, but strangely optioned. No radio, super base model, probably no power steering or brakes yet it has factory a/c (and that was excellent a/c)

    Thats a 60 Rambler six (V8s were called Rebel) Deluxe, the Super and Custom had 4 headlights. Most Deluxes were fleet vehicles since they were the cheapest. I had a '60 Super wagon (Cross Country, in Ramblerspeak), 8 passenger, with the side opening tailgate. I also had a whole set of fenders and doors off of a Deluxe.

    Whoa Nelley, 1960 and gotta go. Simple Simon car, that's for sure. Part of the "Almost a Car" and "All Makes Combined" legacy. LOL.
    We got the VIN, we win: C for Rambler six-cylinder equipped, and the rest is the production sequence. This should have the 3.2L (196 CID) six-cylinder engine, aka "Typhoon", rated at about 127 HP. They were assembled in the Kenosha, WI plant which eventually would come under the Chrysler umbrella by 1987 and closed as an assembly plant actually on this day, Friday December 23, 1988. It then operated for a time as an engine plant until about 2010 and the site was razed around 2012. Luke AMC was started by the family of J. Gilbert Luke who just died in 2024. They also sold Pontiacs and Hondas over the years.
    We got the tag, we can brag: 6015 for Rambler Classic Deluxe four door, 21 for Gray/Black/Platinum/Charcoal interior trim, 72 for Frost White exterior paint, among other codes. This should have a Borg-Warner supplied automatic transmission. This was about as simple as it got. Even then, AMC was buying parts from everyone, because they had a small budget compared to the other Big Three.
    Whoa Nelley, "Lord, I was born a Ramblin' Man" (Allman Brothers/Brothers and Sisters/1973) and this one is ready for the trash can. 3.2 and it's over for you. Straight six hit the bricks. Painted Polar White and soon to be out of sight. That's it, time to quit. Possibly off the road in 1975 and may not still be alive. Going to be flat and that's that. Sold new by Luke and the idea of it going away makes some want to puke. Going to get squished and many here, maybe Benny and only slightly so for the Google Man is everyone going to be a bit pissed.

    I owned two of these 1960 models. Pretty good cars but they were both oil burners after they got 100,000 miles on them. Front ends had what were called trunions on them with coil springs. One car was a push button transmission and the other was a 3 on tree. Rounded glass front and rear. Cool cars but ugly as the day was long. I was glad to have them back when I was a young father of three and couldn’t afford anything better at the time. I paid $500 for one of them and I inherited the other one.

    I think it's an "eye of the beholder" car. I think you'd spend much more than it'd be worth, for a poor-performing, mediocre car even when new. But, as I say, to each their own.
