Re: [AMC-list] American wagons...

[Joe Fulton <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom if you wanted a project I have a 63 Classic wagon, less than 80,000 miles (I forget exactly), sat in Nevada  for over 20 years..   195.6 aluminum (stuck) BW/auto.  The interior is cooked but I have an NOS dash pad, extra 195.6, or I have a 232 freshly rebuilt, Ambassador seats (somewhat matching the tan Classic interior).  All fairly cheap.  Wagon needs paint and all the mechanicals gone through.  The underside looks factory new though, unbelievably clean.  Brake lines and fuel lines are still bright.  Oh and I have a windsheld for it.  Lower tail gate is rusty, but I have still another one if you don't use the spare I sold you.  This thing is a time machine.

Not a problem for me. The last thing I ever care about in a car is
originality! I'm not a restorer and I'm not nostalgic. I like Rambler's
(Nash's, really) frugal, quality, engineering. It's the epitome of American
mid-century industrial design, to me. The
all-brakes-bolt-on-all-cars-1950-1988 thing. The same six for 40 years! Two
chassis bases, no more. Great stuff.

The bottom line for me is, I need a reliable daily driver very soon. It's
Los Angeles, 15K miles/year minimum. And no car loans, I don't do debt. I
owe nothing but a mortgage and gonna keep it that way. I'll give someone
good cash money for their well-done project and we'll both be better off.

Just gotta deliver this machine on time!
