Re: [AMC-list] Rambler on Craigslist

[linda sufficool <greenhornetlady@xxxxxxxxx>]

 I saw this this morning on my local Craigslist. Just thought that with the recent threads on rambler, someone might be interested. I would love to have it just because of the manual tranny....

Oh, good point. I can see how that would happen fairly frequently. And not
that cranks are perfectly balanced at the factory to begin with.

Is it true, as I suspect, that the 195.6 OHV version has never, ever, had
one single aftermarket performance part, ever? Ever? I mean specific for
that engine, not just 'it fits'.

Even the flathead had that Edmund's head, even if it was from the Nash days.

Really not one?  A 1960's JC Whitney catalog might have something.

Well, there was the 2-bbl version.   That's "performance", but it wasn't an aftermarket part.

It doesn't look good for the hypereutectic pistons for 360s, unless we get
more inquiries. I sent an email out to Glen. Below is his response.
Armand


Hi Armand,
We don't have any plans for a 360 AMC piston. I have a stock replacement in
the Silvolite OE aftermarket brand. It has a large dish at 3.600 diameter
with a depth of .190 which equates to a 32.5cc displacement. The bore size
and wrist pin size is the deferring factors along with the high costs of
mold development. I would have to have a lot of interest in this
application, what I mean is a market to sell it so I can justify producing
it.
Take care, Glen

Okay, so I decided to park the Corolla and just drive the Rambler
while sorting it out. I wandered over to the small grocery store
yesterday to pick up stuff for the night. A guy in a Dodge conversion
van slowed down, honked and waved while I was waiting to turn. Cool.
Today I did the first half of my Saturday shop. Major fresh produce,
paper supplies and dairy from Costco. Was wandering home and a family
pulled up along side and stopped beside me. The wife/mom rolled down
her window and asked what year the Rambler was and liked it. Cool. She
said she'd be afraid of getting it hit - and I said me too. I SHOULD
have said they are fun to drive and you can pick up a sedan pretty
inexpensively. Oh well, I'll work on the holler back.

Now off to Publix for incidentals and the accountant for tax fun. Put
put put put .....  Think I'll leave the Corolla parked.

Bruce,

Make a sign for the window:

1965 Rambler American
Yes, It's fun to drive.
You pay more for your cable TV every year than this thing costs.
