Nice fun cruiser.

[Brooklyn Beer]

A good honest car for sure. AC on these must not be all that common. Looks like a car that is easy to keep running for sure

Yes, but not much worse than similar cars of that era. Economy rules, at least on paper.

According to automobile-catalog.com the Rambler 660 sedan weighs 3000 pounds and that engine produces either 145 or 155 horsepower. I wouldn't call that underpowered, really. You might want to turn the A/C off when going up steep hills, but that's no big deal.

 

I like the car, and especially the quintessential mint green color. I don't know how many thousands of those Ramblers I've seen in that color.

[George Albright]

Nice car

Underpowered?

Maybe by some modern supposed-standards,

but not so much if hobby-driven, and to enjoy as designed,

at least in my experience.

 

We drove Our former 1962 Rambler Classic "400" 6-cylinder 4-door sedan in some seriously hot weather. It was driven with the dealer authorized aftermarket Mark-IV under the dash A/C running as we climbed serious hills, (but not the Rockies). There was never any serious degradation of driving ability as the Rambler always felt "Peppy" beyond its image, and kept up with traffic, and even on the interstates, just fine.

 

Our former 1962 Rambler Classic "400" 6-cylinder with 3-on-the=tree and without Overdrive:

Weight: 2,853 lbs

Displacement: 195.58 ci

Brake Horsepower: 138 @ 4500 rpm

Rated Horsepower: 23.44

Torque: 185 @1800 rpm

Differential Ratio: 3.78:1

I really like this car, but I won't buy it; I don't need another old car. Nevertheless I have a question: What would you do to keep the rip/tear in the driver side front seat from getting bigger? Does such a remedy even exist? I'm talking about something that would work in the long term.

I would take the seat cover off and repair it from the back side. Not the big a job.
