HOLY FUCK!!! this is worth more than any new car. so at least 20 000 imo.

Yeah I kept drums after attempting to install this kit. It’s about time and I wasn’t going to waste my time for a ready kit. Not buying cpp again.

Where did u get the power steering kit? I have a 55 6400 would it fit

ware are you getting your amc parts i have a 64 770 two door classic

Never seen one but makes sense that it exists if you know the history.

Wing..full choke(Fuel enrichers) no throttle and spray your starter Fluid in while cranking.. empty tank and put in 50/50 Pure Acetone /Petrol mix after draining Carbs have plenty of Ventilation when the Engine is running

So many memories. My family had an 88 Voyager from 88 to 2004. My childhood is in that interior. I remember doing many road trips in that van.

Thank you for the video, I have a 55' 3800 and I to do these up grades, good info.

Go to the Rambler club to obtain parts. May be your best bet.

You must have had a bad experience ,opening closed mystery doors 😝👍

i had a 1980...what a junk, and it couldnt get out of its own way!

Wow - some serious work went into it, love it!!

Any plans on selling the Goldwing? Thanks

I have a 63 amc ambassador 880 with the 327, with a posi rear she sure is a tire burner! I need to rebuilt the engine but parts are a crap shoot I might just swap in a 440 and a 727.

That's a nice looking bike. I inherited a CL200. The motor has been locked up since 1981. I'll get it running this winter.

Amc of this era up to the 67 and becoming Rebals and Ambassador, was the use of enclosed drivelines. Also the front suspensions used trunions and can wear out. Vacuum wipers were in use into the late 70's. Converting to electric? You will need the complete system to make this happen! Have owned many Ramblers. Fun to drive and worth owning.

Had a '64, same color combo! 327 2bbl. Turned 16.8 at Detroit Dragway, won my class and 4 more rounds of Pure Stock eliminator, with it in 1969. Helpful hint: these engines have nylon coated cam gears, like Pontiac V8s. The nylon gets brittle with age, and if it fails at idle, the engine will maybe survive. At speed, you'll need new valves and pistons. If you buy one used, immediately replace the timing set with one with all steel gears. Otherwise, it's a stout, reliable engine. Make sure when you put the rocker shafts back in, that the hollow bolts go in the rear holes on each side. Thats where the rocker arms get oil from. I've seen those bolts so full of sludge, that you cant tell them from the solid ones. Join the AMC Rambler Club, or The American Motors Owners Association (AMO), to find parts suppliers. There is a Rambler 327 specialist, Kevin Nichols, in Metamora, Ohio, that is a good source for 327 parts, and engine rebuilding. .

You DO know not to start an engine that has not been run in a long time without making sure there is oil circulated throughout the internal parts, right? A drill on the distributer drive to pump up the the lifters is a good idea. Serious damage can occur in seconds on a dry engine. Fortunately the AM 327 is bullet proof.

You have there a beauty of a Rambler. I am so impressed as to the condition it is in, overall. The interior is in really fine shape and just watching the car come off the flatbed truck gave me a thrill! I hope that you continue to work on getting this back on the road. Thanks for the video!

An amazing original 65 yr old car. Restore? They are only original once and this one is exceptional. Engine parts are available but not like big 3 where still make stuff or lots out there these were very comfortable and reliable.

The rear main seal of my 59 Ambassadors been leaking for the last 25+ years. I keep telling myself I'm going to replace it. Hasent happend yet! Easier to just add oil I guess. 🤔

Mikes carburetor has kit

That wing is in really nice shape

We've all been there... lol - I pulled a 5 foot long snake skin out of the RV I pulled a 440 from, glad I didnt have to battle him for the big block

Can I do this to my 56 Chevy 3100?

My father and I ran across this car while shopping for a car for my older sister it had a three on the tree with a very loud Muffler my sister was not interested at all but I thought it was cool Circa 1973

I would contact planet Houston they should be able to help with suppliers. At this point you are far along in tear down and if you truly like the car you might as well rebuild the engine. Egge pistons have a lot of internal stuff sms should help with interior parts. It’s a nice start

why do some of these guys insist on up the nose shots ?

I rescued a triple lock Lexus LX450 with 500,000 miles that was abandoned. Best vehicle I have ever owned. I found that the EGR valve had to be removed and the carbon cleaned out of the intake passages then reinstall the EGR valve. Also, Marlin Crawler make a heavy duty front axle seal that stops the differential fluid from leaking into the wheel bearing grease causing wheel bearing failure. The Birfield front solid axle will leak out onto the ground if this seal is compromised so do yourself a favor and get the Marlin Crawler seal. I am a Vietnam Era Vet' and I have owned a lot of vehicles. FJ80 Series is my all time favorite without question. Buy one if you can find one.

Abandoned? WHY? xD

word of advice?? pull and clean carbs stop with the 400 sprays of brake clean, get a IV gas bottle with 1/4 hose to feed any fuel rails on the bikes, yes the 200 had bad tank stampings and would prematurely rust out, the gold wing????? the fj did I miss the second episode? I love seeing barn finds and deals keep going...........

hey I came looking for the finish on the fj1100 and that goldwing so what happened??

In fact I traded my 85 for a 92interstate at vesnick Honda in Wisconsin. Your working on a 85 aspencade.

This is a 85 not 95 I had one just like it an still have the owners manual. U don't know your gold wings. It's an 85

had 2 of them! awesome little bike!

Nice I am getting ready to do the same to a 1956 3600, thinking about going with the POL Kit instead of CCP. What do you think? What would you do if you could do over?

WheelsForgotten Hello Friend would like to see the further project of the AMC Rambler Ambassador that your work on so keep us Posted OK 👍 👍👍

WheelsForgotten Hello Friend I just subscribe to your channel and Happy New year's to you and your family 2023 😃😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪🥳🥳🥳👍👍👍

this was Very fun hahahaha i die this minivan screamed very high i hereby prenumerate

Model extremly famous poppular, and beloved in my country Argentina , since decades!!!!! here this same model was called, '' fish mouth''!!!

Awesome find! Good luck with it.

I have a1963 Rambler 770 Classic. You have a 1963 Rambler Classic 990 Ambassador.. Your car looks like an amazing survivor. Best of luck in getting it to full driving condition. Check under fenders near cowl for rust. Water sits in cowl area and rust out that area. Lots of parts available but sources can be limited. You need this book which available from several sources online. 1963 Rambler Classic 6 & Ambassador V8 Service Manual.

My 64 has the same problem with the rusted cowl but everything else is fine. You can rebuild the fuel pump a kit is on Ebay or was for me last few months ago but not the wiper half so be careful taking it apart. The tank can be saved because no one makes reproductions. Get some gravel and white vinegar and start shaking then pressure wash out as best as possible. Then buy some tank sealer after you patched the holes. There is a place online that sells the correct style sending unit too.

i had an '80 just like this and the head was very weak. before i sold it , for three years in a row , i had to replace the head gasket and mill the head the third time i put a double thick gasket and parked it tell i sold it .

Another guy has one of these. 327 with a 4 barrel carb. He found most of the parts on Rock Auto.

i just love these old ramblers . a great car .

Is that Kirker exhaust on that FJ? Damn those bikes were quick!

I always put in a pint to a quart of 120 Octane aviation fuel, that would usually overcome the varnished gas in the tank.

Every Honda mechanic I knew put about 18inches of vacuum hose on their cans of Ether just for this bike.

A lot of the Jobbers and suppliers for Rambler and AMC are still in business in Wisconsin, I used to restore International Scouts and they used a lot of the same suppliers. I am told that Rambler shared a plant with Scouts at one time, (It was either Shadyside (In Pittsburgh PA or the one in Terra Haute IN) It has been so long I don't remember which. Several of the engines Rambler and Jeep shared, although some of the parts on there were different.
