Looks like both levers are set in slots so it would be hard to shift a stick unless one is an inline shifter. Never been in one of these cars.

Bloo Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 It's just Borg Warner overdrive, but with a different second gear ratio so you can use the overdrive effectively as a gear splitter. Lots of gears, and a 327. I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan G Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Probably the first time I found any appreciation for that type of paint treatment. It somehow works (to my eyes) with this one. I'm just not sure that kind of money exists for one of these. I'd much, much rather own this versus a $17k Chevelle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-mman Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 1963 Rambler a “muscle car”???Nobody would ever have used that word in 1963. Yes twin stick is the same old Borg Warner 3 speed overdrive that everyone is familiar with. AMC cleverly uses a 3 speed floor shift and the second “shifter” operates the lock out cable that everyone else put in or under the dashboard. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Never thought I'd say "aggressive" and "Ambassador" in the same sentence but this rear shot with those big KMA tailpipes made me say it. Attitude, in spades... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
