Castillian Gray with Black Vinyl Top.I am the third owner, 143,000 miles.Car was bought new at University Rambler in St. Louis by original owner in '69, which he traded in his '66 Ambassador for it. Original Owner had it Ziebart applied when new. Original owner moved to Massachusetts in 1973 where it was loved and garaged until 2016. It had been parked (undriven) in original owners garage 2001-2016 (Photo in gallery is removing car from Original Owner's garage in 2016). Second owner was friend of original owner, he grew up in Massachusetts but lives in SC. I bought from second owner in 2019. I took the car up to Detroit for the 2022 AMO Convention in September (pictured in front of the last AMC HQ - American Center) I have all original ownership documentation as well as handwritten letters about car from original owner Car had restoration completed in the early 90s, minor rust repair was done to the rockers, no bondo. Magnet sticks everywhere on this car. Car is totally rot free, minor pimpling under vinyl top (roof is still totally solid, no "crunchy" areas) with some surface rust under the car like most 50+ year old vehicles. Second owner put slightly louder dual exhaust. Original wheels with wire wheel covers and new tires. Original air cleaner was stolen off the car by a neighbor kid while in the garage at some point in the 2000s. Original Gray Velour seats in beautiful condition, no fading (sorry camera gave it a purple tint, however beautiful gray in person). A few buttons missing off of front seat back as shown. New carpet installed in the 90s still in excellent condition. Paint is nice, has a few chips here and there (shown), but very nice for a driver.There are two spots on the rockers, one on each side, that need to be touched up.Car won a Top 6 award with Carolina AMC at the Charlotte Auto Fair in the spring 2022. AC system has had the compressor replaced, system converted to R-134, however though it blows cold for about 2 weeks, there is a leak somewhere.Front end bushings should be replaced as well before driving regularly.They are worn but still made new as the front end is same as Rebel Machine.Engine has never been rebuilt, but runs VERY strong, does burn some oil. Engine and transmission do drip a little so until the gaskets are replaced you might want to put a pan under it to catch the drops in your garage when parked.New Tires just installed as well as coil over rear shocks (since photos were taken)Parts included with the car (not installed) areNOS GrilleNOS Tail Lenses (in original AMC packaging)NOS Vent Shields for the windows (in original AMC box)New Spare Power Steering Pump and hosesFactory bumper hitchFully serviced and functional AM FM Factory AMC Stereo.Plus a binder documenting the car's history.I would like this car to go to a great home, it needs an owner who will enjoy it, cherish it for the survivor that it is and keep it garaged.I am only selling due to having way too many vehicles right now, needing to downsize my collection, looking to pay off some debt and save for a home. Plus someone needs to love this car and drive it regularly. No reserve. I can ship the car to you myself if within 500 miles of Rock Hill SC for additional fee. If the car brings over $8000, I will bring it to the American Motors Owners convention in Knoxville Tennessee in June for FREE for the buyer to pick up there.Located in Rock Hill, SC. Full payment for the car due within 14 days of auction's end, if I won't be bringing the car to the AMO show for the delivery, car must be shipped or picked up within 14 days of auction's end. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction's end.
