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.
