[AMC-List] 65 rambler american 2dr sedan For Sale (mine) Los Angeles (free?)

["Mike Kindle" <mike90066@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm back and looking to let go of one more car.
Cheap or maybe free to a good home?  The main issue is the new noise from 
the engine or maybe the flexplate that has me afraid to drive it.  Buyer has 
to promise to fix and drive the car, not to part out or junk the car.

This weekend only! Then it's ebay time.
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."
