Rustlestiltskin Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Well a good friend of mine decided to get rid of one of his project cars (the car runs) so that He can focus on just one. Well he gave me a deal that No man in they're right mind would refuse. Reps and a pat on the back will go out to anybody who can guess this car I just bought. The 2 interior shots basically give away the car if you have any knowledge or older cars. Here's a couple shots. I'll post up more pics once the car is figured out along w/ some background on it and specs. Oh, and i'm the 3rd owner of this car and it was originally bought from the factory and for drag racing in E-stock back in the 60's. The original owner specifically ordered certain things on the car for track racing. He raced this for over 20yrs. It'll need some work but i'll have it squared away in no time. Now off to sneak shots http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj288/Dubs740/DSC_0741.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj288/Dubs740/DSC_0742.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj288/Dubs740/DSC_0747.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustlestiltskin Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Rambler http://americandreamcars.com/1965rambler.jpg Of course I've never heard anyone calling an AMC product a diamond... winner although the pic u posted is of a 1965 and mine is a 1963. They did some dif. body trim on the two for example this is 1963-64 body trim vs urs http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj288/Dubs740/64770rambler.jpg anywho, This car is a: 1963 AMC rambler 660 classic 2door hardtop. 327 v8 (ordered this as an option from the factory. Thes cars came in either a 6cyl or a smaller v8) 3speed auto (also ordered from factory so that he could run more consistant times at track) 4:11 gear (ordered from factory) amx front suspension (from factory) coilsprings (ordered instead of the standard leafsprings) some other ordered parts from the factory that were not usually on the car but he wanted on the car for racing are: power steering 6pc dash delete plates. 1pc doors w/ no reinforcement bars on the inside (to lower weight at track) My buddy put a carter external electronic fuel pump on it also in the engine bay so thats a plus as well. I'll try and find more of the race documents for this car but it surely has a big history of dragstrip racing back in the 60-70's in the E-stock class. Car was dyno'd way back at about 355hp compared to the stock 270hp. And the car weighs in at around 2800 lbs. So in the next few weeks i'll be giving it some loving care sanding, patching some of the rust up on the body and hopefully get a primer coat on it asap. I'm soo glad to come across such a cool and rare classic car esp. with the racing history behind it. Hope you guys enjoy the pics. It's not a real looker right now but give me a couple weeks and i'll have it looking solid. Look for a thread in the project section today probably of of the progress i've already been making on this car since this weekend http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj288/Dubs740/DSC_0746.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj288/Dubs740/DSC_0750.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj288/Dubs740/DSC_0733.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj288/Dubs740/DSC_0734.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj288/Dubs740/DSC_0740.jpg Edited July 5, 2009 by Rustlestiltskin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
