guys this is my "other" brand car i bought a few months back, its a 1963 rambler cross country wagon ....i had to part with my then project ek holden. to fund its purchase , hope you forgive me .i have a soft spot for ramblers and have a couple of em ...

ps i has been fitted my years ago with a "ek " bonnet ornament....so i guess its ok to post it here

That's cool looking old bus Any more pics? I'd love to see what he interior looks like.

Nice AM wagon Gino

thanks guys ,
its a cool ol wagon , drive great .. 4 wheel drums, no power machine bit gutless 196 alloy motor 3 speed auto but its a great cruizer

, for you Mr Mefb,..plenty of room inside

Thats cool. I've got a 51 nash that I two doored and I bought a 64 rambler classic to use a the donor car to get the v 8 and the weird diff etc. I'm probably never going to get it done.

mr bootlegger , we have to talk ..... 50'S NASH... ..VERY COOL...i have a bit of 60's amc stuff , got a few pals right into em!!, did i ever mention that i have a 64 classic v8 sedan??? ..... you are right about the rear ends, bloody stupid torque tube set up

When I got the nash I was trying to work out how to get rid of the weird rear end and run a vee eight.
I couldnt believe my eyes when I got under a customers 64 classic and realised they had exactly the same rear end. I even think it will bolt straight in. Imagine two cars thirteen years apart and sharing the same set up today.

You'd sort of pass that wagon off as late 60's or early 70's, not a '63 model; . Looks way ahead of it's time. Compared to the Holden's of the day, anyway

The wagon is in brilliant nick Has it been restored, or has it just survived?

EK bonnet-bird looks right at home

Is it an Ambassador ? I scored a dash cluster out of one at Pomona when I was in the US , dont know what I'm going top do with it but it looks pretty cool

My nash is a statesman. They have the same cool dash in the. I've got a spare one also. Would look awsome in a rod or race car.

thanks , the rambler has had one repaint atleast 12years ago, but its not restored, it has it share of paint chips , but no rust thankfully its a very clean unit it has been looked after by the last owner really well, i have gone over it when i bought it as it had been in storage unused for years , cut and buff , found sum "holden " ventians to fit it ..., just put sum nos "stailnless vent shades on it and curb feelers ..the ek bird was already on it when i got the car it kinda suits it

drive safely this chrissie
