SOLD
1961 Rambler American Custom
Convertible. Grey
with black top
195.6
L-head. I have owned this for about 15
years. Front disc brake conversion -
rotors from 1979 Concord,
dual master cylinder from 1978 Hornet. Very
straight, solid body. Minor surface rust
on floor pans. Needs new top & plastic
window, top could possibly be repaired, not too sure.
Electric / hydraulic top mechanism works good. No carpet. Car
was restored, I believe sometime in the late 80s with a custom interior. Seats and door upholstery in good shape. Steering wheel needs to be rebuilt / replaced,
missing steering column shaft spacer & horn button.
Speedometer does not work, have not checked it out, it's
not really that fast so didn't worry about it. No
radio. Steering is a little funky,
trunnions may need work. Gear selector
needs some work, feels sloppy. Grey paint
dull, could probably be buffed back to life. Small
(1-1/2”) split on side of hood in front of hinge mount, needs to be
repaired or get new hood. No side view
mirror. No hubcaps. New
mechanical fuel pump included, uninstalled. Electric
fuel pump on car now, works intermittently, haven’t taken the time to
install the correct mechanical pump. Wipers
don’t work since mechanical fuel pump was removed, reinstalling this
should make them operational. Just had
head tested, milled, installed new head gasket. Radiator was boiled out & painted, new
radiator and heater hoses installed. New
spark plugs, distributor parts installed. Transmission
has pan gasket leak, gasket needs to be replaced, trans works fine just
need to check level before driving. Carb
probably needs to be adjusted, car seems to idle too high.
I am selling this because I don’t ever drive it and am no
longer interested in it, don’t even have the motivation to fix the
minor things listed here. Need the space
in the garage for other things. $3000 obo. To
