1961 Rambler American - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle... (craigslist.org)
Seller's Description:

4 dr black. Excellent original condition. 81k miles. This car is a survivor and has been garaged its entire life. May have been repainted once, but can't be sure, interior all original and near perfect. Some imperfections in the paint, but very minor. L-195.6 six-cylinder, 3 speed Borg-Warner T-96 manual column shifter. 12-volt. Everything works except fuel gauge. New radial black walls. Has original owner's manual with original owner and dealer information. Driving this car is like stepping back to 1961. Tracks straight and gets tons of looks. These cars were used up and thrown away, so to find one in this condition is extremely rare. Contact me for more details or additional pictures.

Looks nice. Might be a little overpriced but seems to be a solid car that should be economical to own.

Ugly but cute as a bug. I've got a soft spot for Ramblers. Having said that, I'd never pay the asking prices they want for them nowadays.

 

Black is a very rare color for Ramblers. Don't think I've ever seen one.

I've seen older ones with OHV. Looks like a larger engine.

AMC built the 195.6 ci 6-cylinder engines in both L-head and OHV versions through 1965.
