Description

For sale is a beautiful West Coast Rambler Classic 770 2-dr that is almost rust-free and has loads of potential as a true American Motors Muscle Car.
This car originally had a 287 V8 and "Twin Stick" trans (a 3-spd on the floor with a second stick to operate an overdrive unit). A few years ago those were removed and a 327 4bbl AMC engine from an Ambassador (same body style) was installed with a Borg-Warner T-10 4-spd. This 270hp engine was rebuilt and it runs and sounds GREAT.
This car has a BRAND NEW clutch and exhaust system..... and the red-line tires have loads of tread.
Why is this fabulous, solid Rambler available so cheaply (a comparable Chevelle would be over $20K)? Because it needs a few things:
1.) Either the trans or the rear is leaking into the driveshaft torque tube, so that must be disassembled and the seal installed. I have loosened the bolts holding the rear in preparation for doing this.
2.) It needs carpet
3.) The paint is fine for a driver, but I did sand a few areas that had bubbles and they need to be properly painted.
With the T-10 this car is very tall-geared. The Twin Stick trans (condition unknown) will be provided with the car should you want to return it to stock.
I personally think the 63 Classic is one of AMC's best designs. It was one of their top sales years too, so apparently the general public felt the same way. A really nice sized car too.
PLEASE NOTE: the rust you see on the floor of one of the pics is just minor surface rust from water that got onto the floor. The floors are SOLID without holes or soft areas.
Please send a message if you have questions about the car.
