For Sale: 1969 Rambler 220 2-door sedan, rumored to have once been a race car in the Texas-Louisiana area. It presently has a very good sounding V8 (of unknown displacement), obviously with a non-stock cam, Edelbrock Torker intake, and matching Edelbrock carburetor. It has dual exhaust with Magna-flow mufflers and an AMC-15 (Locker, according to the tag) rear-end. First, the bad-news: This car sat in a barn since 1996, and as is typical, the brakes need to be completely gone through, and the transmission (AMC automatic of unknown variety) will not move the car forward (reverse works fine). At some point in its past, someone swapped the entire dash for a 1965 version… and as you may be aware, in 1969 the VIN-tag was on the dash… hence, this car does NOT have a VIN-tag, and as such can only be sold with a Bill-of-Sale (no title). The hood, right-front fender, and right door have been replaced… I suspect this was done at the time the car was last parked since the fender only has 3 bolts holding it on, and the door still needs to be properly adjusted. The original gas-tank has been replaced with a fuel-cell mounted in the trunk. To accommodate the fuel-cell’s sump, a hole was cut in the floor… however, the piece that was cut out was still sitting in the trunk, and could easily be welded back in place. Now the good news: This is an EXTREMELY rust free body, including the replacement hood right-fender and right-door. As a matter of fact, ALL of the rust will fit in one picture… the lower left rear quarter… and even these spots are currently only bubbles which have not even popped through the original factor paint. All chrome (bumpers & trim) are likewise rust-free, clean, and shiny. The engine sounds very good… starts right up, with no questionable knocks, pings, or clatter, and doesn’t smoke at all. This engine is of unknown displacement, since I could not find the typical embossed displacement numbers on the side of the block (pictures included here).On Jun-26-10 at 10:08:28 PDT, seller added the following information: For Sale: 1969 Rambler 220 2-door sedan, rumored to have once been a race car in the Texas-Louisiana area.

The VIN-number can however be figured out, with a little research. The first 6 digits will be "A9A060", indicating(in sequence): A=AMC, 9=1969, A=Automatic, 0=American, 6=2 door-sedan, 0=base-model... the remainder of the VIN-number will be stamped into the frame-rail behind the steering-box.
