Re: [AMC-list] American wagons...

That sounds like a great driving/camping/cruising project!

Tom, I've taken my '65 American sedan camping - and while it is not a
wagon, it is a nice little car. It did well with the 600 pound or so
popup. It's fun to drive. I love draping an arm on the bench seat, or
hanging a hand on the open vent window. But when I give it thought -
the idea of a Rebel or Matador wagon keep popping up.

I know you don't like the newer cars with plastic and all that. But I
wonder if a Rebel wagon with a 232 and 3 speed manual would make a
good every day car? Easier parts, still a Rambler.

But on the other hand, an American with a 232 and 3 speed manual would
be pretty cool, too. Especially a wagon. Have fun searching and
deciding!

The interior is cooked but I have an NOS dash pad, extra 195.6, or I have a 232 freshly rebuilt, Ambassador seats (somewhat matching the tan Classic interior).  All fairly cheap.  Wagon needs paint and all the mechanicals gone through.  The underside looks factory new though, unbelievably clean.  Brake lines and fuel lines are still bright.  Oh and I have a windsheld for it.  Lower tail gate is rusty, but I have still another one if you don't use the spare I sold you.  This thing is a time machine.
