[AMC-List] 1963 American Hardtop For Sale

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was an unintended purchase and it surprised me
when it ran.

I bought this car from a neighbor who had purchased
the car as a parts car for his 1963 Rambler
convertible.  He never pulled any parts off it and he
moved to Hawaii recently.  He plans to move the little
pink convertible to Hawaii soon, but had to leave the
hardtop behind.

The car is a 440 hardtop and was originally frost
white including the top (paint code 72).  It has a
light blue interior, buckets seats, console and twin
stick transmission.  It has the two-barrel WCD carb
and has a remanufactured short block 196 engine with a
tag on it that says POWER-PAK.  The car has brand new
radial tires (185-60-15) which look kinda wierd on the
car.  It has a really bad beige paint job which I can
only assume was put on the car to protect it.  The
paint is flaking badly and there is no evidence that
the frost white paint was ever even sanded before the
repaint.  In other words the car looks doggy, but is
all there.

There are some bubbles in the paint on the lower rear
heels of the front fenders which I assume is rust
starting there.  The car runs, but needs the
carburetor rebuilt. I have a rebuild kit ordered for
the carb.  The chrome is in OK shape, with some
scratches on the bumpers and some pitting of the
ornaments.  The interior is in fair condition and
could be used with only a clean-up.  I do have extra
Rambler station wagon 15 inch wheels and new (larger
size) tires which can go with the car.  The glass is
all good with no cracks or broken panes.  The car is
currently registered so there are no back fees due to
DMV.

I am asking $1000 before I spend any more money on
this car.  Because of its condition and completeness
(and relative rarity) I think this would be an
excellent project car for someone new to the hobby.

I can transport it up to say 500 miles on my trailer
for $.60 per loaded mile.
