Thank you for checking out the 1966 AMC Rambler American 440 station wagon and 1978 AMC Concord hatchback parts car.THe selling price for the 1966 station wagon is $2200, the price of the 1978 Concord parts car is $300.
Have you ever you ever thought about building an SC/Rambler Phantom station wagon?
I did but just don’t have time to get the project done from scratch so I’m selling as a package a very clean, rust-free, recently painted (in 2004) 1966 Rambler American 440 station wagon, (indicated mileage shows <47,000 miles, and while things like pedal wear would seem to indicate that this might be correct, it's best to assume that the mileage is <147,000 miles), 232 6-cylinder currently equipped with cold factory air. The carb and transmission will need attention -- contact me for the details -- along with a 1978 AMC Concord V8 hatchback parts donor car (all small AMCs, Americans, Javelins, AMXs, Hornets, Gremlins, Concords and Spirits are directly related mechanically and structurally). My idea was simple, swap out the 232 six and crossmember in the 1966 American, swap in the 304 V8 and 3-speed automatic combination out of the Concord, install the disc brakes from the Concord and finish up the car in B-scheme SC/Rambler trim. Which is in a way what I ultimately did when I found a 290 '69 440 wagon locally in Pasadena, which I bought for $4500. After adding the necessary wheels and B-scheme stripe, you can see the potential of what I am offering here for less than half the price (and when done you'll end up with a more modern drivetrain and probably front disc brakes as well, which bolt right in). I've added a photo of my '69 SC/Rambler one-of-none phantom, which never fails to attract positive attention at shows, basically since so few people know anything about AMCs that they don't realize that it wasn't factory-built. Please contact me at autotronic@aol.com for additional details. I will be happy to answer any and all questions.
