Buick35 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Someone locally has a 56 Nash Rambler sport for sale for $8000 and looks decent in the photos.I wanted to find a Rambler or Nash section on the forum but was unable to. Anyone have experience with these and know what to look for? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 This "General Discussion" category may give you more answers than posting in the AMC section. I would post your question in both sections. AMC devotees will see it in the AMC section, but because there is much less activity there, good answers may come faster here. All the best to you in your quest! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambo Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Make sure the torque tube stabilizer trunion is in good working condition. Replacements come from NashRamblerRubber.com . It's the only part that needs to be in good order for the car to drive straight and safely. The same trunion is used in the Nash Healey, Hudson Hornet, Nash Ambassador and Rambler. An old or worn trunnion can disable you on the road or cause the rear wheels to steer the car so you can't stop straight. Regular maintenance will keep the Rambler running well. Drain and change all the fluids regularly including the radiator, and flush the brake lines every 2 years. Lube all the chassis moving parts regularly. Ramblers of that vintage are generally reliable and hold their value nicely if kept in good cosmetic condition. Enjoy your drive!

28 Chrysler Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 The bushings in the column shifter can get worn, make sure the shifter doesn't stick in 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Check the body structure thoroughly for rust damage. Early unibodies were terrible rust-buckets, can hide damage unless viewed from underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank DuVal Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Rust shouldn't be too bad, the spare tire is still sitting high in the well! Too much rust and they sit on the ground.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
