DrumBob Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I know Rambler has its fans, but I'm not one of them. I'll pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I like it, but the seller could've done a better job cleaning things up under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 When these are clean and original (or original looking) they are quite cool. I think this car mostly fits that description. Imagine a 327 cu. in. engine making 270 hp from the factory in a wagon in 1959! Very impressive! Those are sort of '64 SS Chevelle numbers. Entering muscle car territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Hepatica Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 The '57 Rambler Rebel was ostensibly a "muscle car". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gofasttoday Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 We had a 1964 Rambler ambassador two door 327 tween stick (three sp with overdrive). It was very powerful but on wet roods it would spin the rear would want to pass the front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
