AMC Rambler First Start & Clean Up - Vice Grip Garage EP22

Well, a guy went ahead and forgot he bought this 1960 AMC Ramber about 5 months ago. It was just delivered and I'm out of room. So I've got to quickly get it running, clean it up, and Jam it in the tree row for later. It appears the car has been sitting for around 8 years based on maintenance records. Any ideas of what to do with this thing? Let me know.

As soon as I saw those door panels I thought " factree", then you said it! But I lost it when that passenger side door opened!!! 😂😂The look on your face. " oh shit".....😂 " nothing to see, just goin ' to bingo" 😂😂😂😂😂 " I'm takin' this to work!" 😂😂 My grandmother had a Rambler. When it was raining, The faster you would go the faster the wipers would go. Always thought that was odd. This was hysterical! I'm going to watch it again!

Talk about memories, wow. My uncle gave my dad a 1959 rambler cross country station wagon that needed a motor rebuild. My brother rebuilt the motor and never got it running. Dad made a deal with my brother in law who worked for a Napa dealer to tow the car to Mississippi from Alabama and rebuild it right. Then my Bro in law could pick either keep his 52 chevy or the 59 rambler. Bro in law kept the 59 wagon because he had a big family, sold the 52 chevy to buy parts for the wagon. Dad ended up with nothing. My brother loved that wagon, fixed it up nice. Drove it for close to 20 years and then bought a 60 model rambler wagon to replace the 59. The old 59 finally ended up wrecked, messed up the front frame area, couldn't be fixed. I remember the push button trans and also it was an enclosed drive line. They don't make them like that anymore. I rode in that car many a mile. I was 13 when he got it, I'm 63 now. Brother in law sure loved hem old rambler cars, his dream was one day to a nash metrorpolh&

Reliability was their goal. Styling for the older generations. My grandmother had 2 a square body and one like that one. Always check the oil and add gas as needed. The wipers ran off the cars vaccum. The slower the engine runs the slower the wipers move. Dangerous in a storm. Just to cut the cost of mfg by the cost of an electric wiper motor. I believe they were bought by Jeep. I'm sure the Jeep inline 6 was a rambler motor

[@nicholsonlee]

I remember my Uncle Hap had one of these, he drove it for as long as I could remember. He had a farm and his truck broke down past his fixing, he was also the town mechanic, plumber, engineer, machinist, welder, car repairman electrician and tax collector! So he did what all good mechanics would do, he cut the top off past the front seats, welded the back window in, lots of caulk and it became a farm truck. He used to pick us up to go fishing, drunker than Cooter Brown, I watched this and can still smell that old car. Beer, cigarettes and dirt. Don't think it was ever cleaned! I drove it many times on the farm to pick up "workers" at the gate when Uncle Hap was a little too spirited to drive, did I mention he also was a moonshiner? I was about 8 when he first let me drive it. This is sweet and I'd love to have one just for memories!

Watching your channel has brought back memories of my Dad. He never owned a new car. Always bought junkers and never went to a garage or parts store. He was the ultimate self taught backyard mechanic. If he needed parts we went to the junkyard or manufactured his own. This of course was in the 60s and 70s before you had to plug your car to a computer. He didn't have a timing light or dwell meter. Tune up by ear. Used same technical techniques you employ on you junkers. Didn't have an engine hoist either I once watched him use a tree and a winch to pull an engine from a 63 Falcon.

Things sadly came to an end the week after graduation when we hit a bump and both wheels shot off in different directions and broke the steering jigamacallit.

[@maxheadroom8857]

I happen to have a Rambler. My late dad bought it brand new in August 1962; it's a Rambler Classic 4 door sedan, Custom package which was the medium package in 62. 400 was the top of the lines for the Ramblers on all 3 models: American, Classic & Ambassador. The Ambassador was their V8 model car that year, sharing the body shell with the Classic but with different trim and taillights. In 62, Ramblers came with dual chamber master cylinders. The only other makes that had dual chamber brake master cylinders were Cadillac and Jaguar. A tip to anyone restoring one of these: if you have a manual transmission on a 58-62 Rambler with the 196 six, the engines from an automatic car will not swap with a stick shift. The input shaft on the transmission won't fit the crankshaft of the engine; the engines used 2 different crankshafts during those years. By the way, if you happen to come across 1 of these 60 or earlier models that spent time in California during the 60s and 70s, you might come across some with butchered valve covers because of shops doing PCV Valve retrofits mandated in 1966. Cars sold new in 1961 and later have a factory PCV Valve setup on the engines.

[@rbj1jcp]

My father had a Rambler Classic (63 I think). 4 door with a small V8. It did go vroom vroom. I used to race it against other family type cars (if my father had known I'd have been walking everywhere). My first muscle car was a SC/Rambler 390 CID 315 hp. Man I really loved that car.

This is a classic! You don't see cars like this...LOL!

[@bigbearbland]

First car in Tacoma WA when we moved from Spokane in 1971, a 1959 Rambler. Mom got hit in that one while she ran an interSEXtion checking up on my Dad while he was popping his side-piece. She got a 1964 500 2dr hdtp 3on the tree and that ended up being my 1st car. My older brother caught me driving it with a pair of? You guessed it, VICE GRIPS, to school an work. Pwr str, it mattered not. I just love this channel!

[@rickdarr3032]

definitely needs a 440....my wife laughed her head off when the door came open...she says Laverne is the name

[@ViceGripGarage]

Startled a guy!

[@williammc3183]

hey , Laverne sounds about right

[@superaa6779]

That was the ghost getting out before the brakes failed!

[@gregh7457]

Is "laverne" the type that can't keep her legs closed?

[@brucefisher4025]

Easier said than done...old ramblers had torque tubes connecting the rear end to the trans....

[@airenesivad2975]

I had a 61 Rambler Classic in my early teens. 3 on the tree and shook like hell at 30 miles an hour then went away at higher speeds

[@ViceGripGarage]

She liked to run fast

[@brucemasters9132]

I'm 66 years old and in 1960 I remember my dad pulling up in a "new" 59 Rambler wagon (it was one year old). My Mom grabbed me and we jumped in to go show the car to my Grandad. Dad turned the key, and nothing! We were pushed to my granddad's by one of my dad's friends in a '56 olds special.

[@michaelpryor2981]

YEP WE HAD A 59 RAMBLER CROSS COUNTRY STATION WAGON RED AND WHITE AND IT LOOKED VERY MUCH LIKE THAT CAR...IT HAD A STRAIGHT 6 AND SHIFTED ON THE COLUMN. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT CAR CUZ I USED TO STAND UP ON THE FRONT SEAT WHILE MY DAD DROVE!

[@gpiano88]

Hey man! I had a '63 Rambler Classic 550 wagon with the inline 6. That engine had 7 main bearings and ran without a hint of vibration. That Rambler you have is a real gem. Great quality cars and they rode very well. Did you check the ashtray for the ball bearings? They made the ashtray slide without friction. If you were to restore that beautiful car, It wouldn't take much. It would be well worth it as there is a loyal following for that car. I would love that car if I had the garage space. Good luck with it!

[@CommonMapTurtle]

Actually, the 7 main bearing sixes (232, then 199, then 258) didn't show up until mid 1964. So your '63 had a smooth 4 main bearing engine, unless one of the newer sixes was transplanted into it.

[@jdgimpa]

No they are not MoPars! Nor are they grandfathered in. The only reason Chrysler bought AMC from the french was for the Jeep.

[@richardakers9167]

snip that in beside a cuda, and you will most likely get strangled with a plug wire....Ol cuda will NOT be happy....

[@justinstearns9723]

But now the Italians got them all.

[@1598hi]

Yep, bought the Jeep brand just to ruin it by 2007 and honestly anything past 99 isnt worth anyones time.

[@kenbarkdoll7252]

Years ago my pal's family had one if those. His dad told me you don't need a mechanic for a Rambler. You need a magician. Seemed to be a good enough car to me.

[@billchapel3194]

Back in my younger years they hadn't invented Berryman, so we got the engine nice and hot, and trickled water down the throat of the carb, and steam cleaned the valves.

[@bertnichols9802]

And if you got over zealous and added to much. bent the rods. Guilty!
