Thanks Jeff I see that about the knob and shaft being a different length. Also the mounting nut is different too.

Thanks Tom but I am aware of the ground wire as I made that mistake in the past many years ago. I hate !@#$%^& with electrical problems. How's the paint job coming?

To: AMC-List <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Well, my friend and I figured out it's a 400 model,
based on the trim level. After reading the Standard
Catalog book, checking Ebay auctions for clues, the
400 has several special and unique trim items, several
I couldn't confirm visually in my pictures except for
one, I think the " wagon robe rail ", which is an
extra piece of stainless trim between the two tail
lights, is the deciding factor. I'll check for a
padded dash, another 400 item, 2-tone steering wheel,
and rear door vents when I go down there again this
week(end), to move my last 3 cars ( I hope! ).
So, more fuel for thought. The unibody frame in back
is rusted out, only reason more people weren't
interested in this car before, but it's a beautiful
body, not as many made as 4-doors or wagons, shame to
see it go away permanently. Have at least 2 interested
parties now, so hopefully it'll be saved. I'll be gone
for 2-3 days trying to move the rest of my cars and
parts this week(end), and then be done with my part
down there. Still a '74 AMX, '72 Javelin, and other
Concords, Eagles, Spirits , and '66 Ambassador down
there to get saved, none mine. Email
Ben70AMX@xxxxxxxxx if you are interested in any of his
9 cars. These will have to go fairly quick, no time to
lose, only cars to lose. Later,
Jerry in Virginia ( cars near Burkeville, VA , 1 hour
southwest of Richmond VA down Rt. 360 ).

Subject: Wagon Robe Rail
To: mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Jerry,
The wagon robe rail is a metal railing on the back of
the front seat or the
second seat in a three seat wagon. It is a carryover
from the days when
passengers also had a "lap robe" in the car. It
provided a place the hang
the robe.
It has nothing to do with the exterior trim moldings.
The 400 level was the highest level of trim in 1962
for the Ramblers
including the American. They had the most luxurious
upgraded upholstery
fabrics and some extra chrome moldings on the
exterior. Some other
feathures were standard on this level. For instance
the aluminum 195.6
engine was standard. You could specify a cast iron
engine at no cost
though.
I had a 62 classic "Custom" level wagon which was a
gift. It had a bad
knock in the engine and fairly severe corrosion in the
front A-pillars. I
bought the TSM and the 62 brochures to find out more
about the 62 models. I
decided that the rust was too severe for my repair
skills and junked the
car. A few weeks later one of the Hemmings magazines
featured a 62 Classic
restoration project where the owner had welded patches
in the A-pillars to
save the car and I realized that I could have done
that. It really rubbed
salt in the wound.
The 62 two-door is unique. If the eventual owner of
that car needs parts, I
still have plenty which I purchased for my failed
project and have not yet
sold.
Regards,
Joe Fulton
Salinas, CA

I absolutely loved my '62 Ambassador 400. I didn't care for the somewhat
futzy nose design (too much detail; the brows in the fenders made it
look like a fussy cat) but it was otherwise a great car.
It had: padded dash, pushbutton trans, aluminum between the taillights
(like the Hornets), rear vents, bucket seats, couldn't tell you
o-fish-all-ee what 400 package contained though.
The rear vents were great (no A/C), I took my first cross-country road
trip (Mass. to Seattle, 1976?) in that thing... 70 mph it got 18mpg. Had
327 and BW pushbutton trans.
First car I ever 'restified' (sic). It was just an 'old car' when I
bought it for $125. Redid the seats, door panels, dash (the padding was
crapped out, I bondo'd the holes and recovered with vinyl), trans
rebuild by Aamco (ugh, what did I know), new front end, then paint. Was
a cigar-stained puke green interior, I did it all red black and white.

Sold it to a nutty USPS mail carrier guy, who spent a few months (long
months...) talking my ear off and the price down to $400. He was a nut,
but really babied his cars. Never knew what happened it after that. Sold
it probably 1978? In Falmouth MA.
