1969 Rambler American 440 Station Wagon
1969 AMC Other 440
Two year project recently finished to it's current state.Body and paint done last Spring, color is 70's Caddy Kingswood Green done in single stage. Lots ofmetallic. All jambs and engine bay done also. I rebuilt the 273 Mopar engine which included new rings, bearings, oil pump, timing set, 3 angle valve job on the closed chamber heads, (with factory non-hardened seats, sorry), Summit cam kit K50062 .480 lift, 285 deg. duration,112 degree lobe sep.I only managed to put about 350 miles on the engine since rebuild last Fall. Nice sounding engine, but not a torque monster.New clutch/pressure plate ahead of a Mopar 833 overdrive 4 speed transmission with a Hurst shifter. Amc 15 rearend with 3.31 gears.New dual exhaust. Front disc/ rear drum brakes. Power steering.
New carpet in entire car. New seat upholstery. The door panels are original and in decent condition, but really should be replaced with cloth to match seats.The Dash is decent, but should be restored. The headliner is complete, butreally should be re-done/replaced. So, as-is it looks great, but could be improved. All the glass is nice except for a bad wiper scratch in the windshield. New wiper/ weatherstrip on rear gate glass.
The speedometer and fuel gauge work, I have not hooked up the oil or temp gauge yet, but had a mech. oil pressure gaugeon the engine for break-in and it has very good oil pressure and runs cool. The Wagon drives very nice.
This Wagon deserves some nicer wheels, but I choose to let someone else pick them.
I will also consider selling the Wagon without engine and/or transmission for someone who wants more power or wants the car all AMC. Also a deal such as that can include a good running AMC 360 engine I recently pulled from an '83 Wagoneer with 122,000miles.
So here it is, Come and get it and finish it as you enjoy driving it!
If you have more questions, or want to make an offer on the Wagon minus the drivetrain, Please call me at 712-210-0081.
I do have a few more pics I can send also.
I would suggest that you come and inspect the Wagon before you buy, if possible. But bring Cash. I will not accept any other form of payment. I have the clear title here in my name, it is insured, and I do still drive it when I get time.
Some spare parts will come with the sale such as, Rear seat, stainless trim, armrests, jack, etc.
Cash sale only, sorry.
