Vehicle Detail

AN EXCELLENT, LOW MILEAGE, ORIGINAL EXAMPLE OF A TIMELESS, CLASSIC DESIGN CREATED FOR RAMBLER BY INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER RICHARD TEAGUE. THE 1965 RAMBLER AMBASSADOR 2 DOOR HARDTOP, 990 SERIES (TOP OF THE LINE). VERY FEW OF THESE STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL CARS ARE LEFT. THE CLASSIC "BUBBLETOP" REAR WINDOW WAS OFFERED IN 1965 ONLY AND, WITHOUT IT, THE 1966MODEL WAS FAR LESS ATTRACTIVE. THIS VERY SOLID & STRAIGHT, LOW MILEAGE, SOUTHWEST CAR REPRESENTS A RARE OPPORTUNITY. OFFERED HERE AT NO RESERVE I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO AND I CAN TELL YOU, ITS 287 V-8 ENGINE IS SMOOTH, QUIET, AND POWERFUL. THE CAR IS VERY RELIABLE AND A PLEASURE TO USE. THEAUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FAULTLESSLY, THE POWER BRAKES ARE SUPERB, AND THE POWER STEERING EFFORTLESS. ALL GUAGES AND LIGHTS WORK PERFECTLY AND EVEN THE ORIGINAL RADIO IS JUST GREAT. IT HAS A FULLY REBUILT BRAKING SYSTEM INCLUDING: NOS FRONT QUAD-PISTON CALIPERS, NEWDISC BRAKE PADS, NEW MASTER CYLINDER, AND NEW REAR CYLINDERS. IT ALSO HAS A FULLYREBUILT TORQUE TUBE INCLUDING NEW SEALS AND NEW TRUNNION SEAL, REBUILT CARBURETOR,NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM, AND MUCH MORE. THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF RUST IN THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER PANEL BUT I AM INCLUDING A PAIR OFUN-RUSTED QUARTER PANELS FROM ANOTHER CAR THAT CAN BE CUT DOWN AND USED AS PATCH-PANELS.FLOORS, FRONT AND REAR, AND TRUNK FLOOR ARE 100% SOLID. THERE IS A SMALL CRACK IN THE BOTTOM, PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD AREA BUT I AM INCLUDINGAN EXCELLENT REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD (VERY RARE PIECE). THE DASHBOARD TOP HAS THE USUAL CRACKS AND SPLITS BUT I AM INCLUDING A PERFECTREPLACEMENT ONE. THE CAR HAS MINOR PARKING LOT DINGS BUT NEVER AN ACCIDENT AND THE ORIGINAL CHROME IS EXCELLENT! THIS GREAT CAR SHOULD BE WORTH ABOUT $5000 TO $5500 OR MORE BUT WILL BE SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER! DON'T MISS IT. I HAVE A CLEAN NEW MEXICO TITLE IN MY NAME. I CAN ARRANGE SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. *** THE WINNER OF THIS AUCTION WILL GET FIRST REFUSAL ON A HUGE TREASURE TROVEOF SPARE PARTS INCLUDING AN EXCELLENT 327 ENGINE AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.
