1962 AMC Rambler

1962 Rambler CrossCountry Custom station wagon. The car has 85,000 original miles on it and has been garage kept its entire life. Car has an inline six cylinder motor, automatic transmission with push buttons on the dash, manual steering and brakes. I bought the car from the original owner 26 years ago, that family bought it brand new and always kept it in the garage. When I got the car it had 71,000 miles on it. The car was very clean and rust free, the original paint was showing some age and the drivers seat bottom was worn. I drove the car for several years as it was. Eventually I I had the entire interior redone with original remanufactured materials. At that time I also had the car repainted, it has had only one repaint in its life. All external components of the engine have been replaced or rebuilt over the years. The transmission was fine but had a few leaks so that was removed and all seals replaced including a new torque converter and u-joints in the torque tube. All new shocks and complete exhausted. In the last 6 months the entire brake system was redone, this includes all new wheel cylinders, brake shoes, lines, and a new master cylinder. Also replaced within the last four months was the radiator. To keep it original I had the original radiator re- cord using the original tanks and went from a two row to a three row core to accommodate air conditioning in the future.The engine has never been opened up for major repairs or rebuilds. That being said, the valve seals in the head are old and dry, this causes the engine to smoke at initial start up and when let sit at an idle for some time. The car runs and drives very well and is very reliable as is. This is a very nice original unmolested wagon that has never had rust.
