This is the 65 2dr post and 69 wagon I've posted about over the past several 
years.  I saved them from doom, and now it's time for someone else to take 
them to the next level.  Description below.  Pictures on photobucket.

$350 each.  This weekend only! Then it's ebay time.
Buyer has to promise not to part or junk the cars.
65 Rambler American 232-6 Automatic transmission.
I?ve had this car for four or five years and it has been the most dependable 
car I?ve owned.  Always fires right up and has never stranded me. There has 
always been a small rod-knock like sound on startup that goes away as the 
oil gets going.  I always let the car warm up good before driving and this 
noise has remained unchanged since I?ve had the car.
The biggest issue is it has developed a new noise, which I think is a flex 
plate going bad but it could be something else.  There is an arrhythmic 
noise on startup that quickly goes away and then a rattle when decelerating 
from high RPM.  I?ve been very gentle since the noise started, only short 
trips.
The car has the 232 inline six cylinder engine with the 2 barrel Carter WCD 
carb.
About the pictures:  The car comes with a replacement front right fender and 
headlight surround for the crunched corner.  And I have a replacement 
windshield too.  And I have the front hubcaps which I took off when last 
doing the brakes.  There are new shoes all around, new wheel cylinders, and 
master cylinder.  The emergency brake works great. Gas gauge works.  Radio 
delete.
I also completely removed, cleaned, and sealed the gas tank with the POR-15 
kit.
The car has four new Goodyear Regatta 2 tires.
I rebuilt the upper trunions and upper control arms with the polyurethane 
kit.  The rest of the kit for the lower arms and rear comes with.
The previous owner took the drivers door panel off to try to fix the window 
which had left its track.  I fixed the window but haven?t put the door panel 
back on.  The door panel comes with.
The car has the usual floor rust under the driver?s foot and some under the 
trunk mat.
Over the last four years it has driven all over Los Angeles, Northern 
California, and up to Oregon.  The previous owner told me ?it once belonged 
to the mother of the guy who played the other guy on The Wonder Years.?
69 Rambler American Station Wagon 232 MT
Runs and drives.  Las Vegas and So.Cal car.  Front end rebuilt with Prothane 
kit and new trunion bearings.  New front shocks.  Period Frantz oil filter.  
Rebuilt carb.  Rebuilt rear with new bearings and seals.  Rebuilt brakes.  
Engine smokes a bit on startup.  Rear side doors need help due to bad hinges 
but a pair of extra doors with good hinges included.  Front sway bar.  New 
battery and solenoid. Couple of new tires.  Needs one more or patch the 
spare.  No rust.  Good body.  Gas tank cleaned and sealed with POR 15 kit.  
New filler hose.  New fuel filter in pump.  Electric wipers.   Recently I 
drove it on a half dozen 50 mile round trips while moving.  It was very good 
to me.  About the pics: the color is yellow but for a movie it was brushed 
with blue house paint which should come off easily enough, but some people 
like the patina.
