Will It Run After 50 Years? | Forgotten 1962 American AMC Rambler | Buried & Locked Up | RESTORED

I know the guys from Restored won't see this, but I did vote for the 67 Galaxy for the next restore. I have one that I bought from my Grand Father. He charged me $77.52 because that's what the taxes cost for the next old truck he bought. He told me he'd give me the car, but it wouldn't teach me anything if I got it for free. I drove that 67 Galaxy home on bias ply tires, nearly wrecking it cuz I didn't know that bias ply tires would follow every crack in the road lol. I still have the car today. She's a factory Blue with a White top, Factory Air that somehow still works. 390 with a 4 barrel conversion. I snatched a 4 barrel intake off a school bus ;) Bought a Holley 4 barrel and put a refurb kit in it. I love this old car! She's a cruiser!

[@jamescrawford1959]

Yes indeed, I agree tremendously. Child and parent working together is always a great thing. I'd give anything to get to do something like this with my son. Getting back to ' 'basics' is what I see the pandemic headed. If not there's gonna be great deal of people in a 'world of trouble'. Thanks and stay blessed.

[@trr5291]

You guys have a lot of love for old rusted cars. A lot of people would look at that car and say that it was not worth fixing. That engine reminds me of my neice. Stubborn as a mule.

[@robinredman5192]

Tenacity would be the word of the day. Way to go and way to persevere. There's an ever greater lesson here I believe. We need to remember that there are people, much like the old Rambler, that appear to have a chance of ever being RESTORED. But, if we spend some time, work hard with them, give them some firm, but gentle nudging and show them the love of Jesus we will be amazed at what God can do. Thanks so much for your hard work on this one. I had pretty much given up on the old Rambler, but you guys kept on going!! Success!! I sure am glad that there have been people in my life that have never given up on me, no matter how lost and froze up i seemed to be. God Bless!

[@clarkbroege2429]

Guys I just found your channel, and this specific video brought back a lot of memories for me. In 1990 I was 15 years old, and bought my very first car, a 1961 amc rambler deluxe 4 door. All original, and in pretty bad shape under the hood and the interior, but the body was straight. My dad and I restored the interior as best we could, and tried to find someone who could work on the engine, old flat head 6 cylinder, 195 3.2 I believe it was. Finally found someone who knew how to work on it, but due to the lack of finding parts, couldn’t repair all of it. But we got it running enough for me to drive it to school everyday for a year…it had a hole in the manifold, and it sounded like a herd of tanks coming down the road. I bought it myself for $100, and sold it for $800, just to buy a 1963 Chevy 2 Nova. That was already restored for the most part, and lucked out finding it for only $500 in 1992. Bought it from a guy who had no use for it anymore because he couldn’t drive it. I loved that car, but sadly had to sell it for emergency reasons. I’ve always wanted to find another 63 Chevy 2 nova, if you know of anything anywhere, seriously, please let me know. Love that you guys restore old cars like this together, my dad and I did that before he passed.

[@aneuno2]

Very Cool. I run the So Cal Rambler club and have rescued a few cars with seized up engines before, but this is AMAZING to see you revive this old girl! Very Cool.

[@davidbutkos214]

[@ToyKingWonder]

Ramblers are a great way to get into the hobby for cheap. I like this particular model, almost a bit of a euro vibe to the styling. The front grille is very cool. The interior is absolutely frightening. I appreciate a video of all the work and details. Very cool! Hope it gets fully gone through and back on the road. I also noticed it appeared to have factory AC, which is amazing.

[@patrickwilson2726]

Agree with you about the styling. It reminds me of the styling that Volvo once had.

[@tomboese367]

My grand dad was a conservative man. He bought a Modle T, I don't know what year, I'm sure it wasn't new. In 1948 he bought a Plymouth. In 1963 he bought a new International one ton pickup, then in the early 70's he bought an AMC Rebel. That was the last car he ever bought. Thanks for the Memories!!!!

[@boblamb8421]

That was amazing guys. What looked easy was a lot of time and effort. I thought it would have a flathead in it. I enjoy the heck out of your videos. Keep em coming. Not far from me in an area of Mesa Az where I grew up there is one of those exact same Ramblers but it's a two door. I've been trying to get it off them but no one ever answers the door or responds to notes I leave or letters I send. It's in a carport on flats. The good part is it's 100% certain it won't be locked up. Thanks.

I thought for SURE you guys were going to give up, junk the stock engine, push her into the tree row and wait for someone with enough interest to chop her up and put some motor in her that was never meant to be. As someone who loves to see these old gems stay stock, thank you so much for not giving up!!

[@lazerbeam3928]

Wow that old Rambler sure does bring back memories. My mother had that exact car and color but with an automatic. I enlisted in the AF when I was 18. She bought it right after I enlisted in the AF. I came home on leave when I was 19 and took my old girl friend out on several dates in that car. BTW, there was an option on this car where the front seat would fold all the way back almost into a bed. My mother's car did not have that option but as it turns out the mechanism is there just the handle to activate it was missing. Turns out a screwdriver will make it work... ;-)

[@curbozerboomer1773]

But a problem I eventually had with my 59, was that the front seat eventually would lean back too far, making for an uncomfortable driving position...the seatback mechanism would just slowly fail.

[@mr.blackhawk142]

Sadly though, it broke down on me a couple of times, despite having been taken care of...those cars were the cheapest autos one could buy, back in the day---and after 100,000 miles or so, the cheapness showed up....clutch assembly broke, "cluster "...gears broke, etc...so I sold it for what I had bought it for...the thing is, I really enjoyed driving that car!...it really stood out from the crowd, got decent mileage...about 10 year later, a "special interest" dealer had one for sale, with only 40,000 original miles on it--he was asking $15,000 for it!...Crazy, right?

My brother and I once had a 1964 or 5 American with a locked up flathead. We bought a roll-over accident '61-63 American with the overhead valve engine. The motor mounts were different, so we pulled the flathead and tranny out of the newer American and cut the mounting crossmember out of the OHV body still attached to the engine. We lowered the whole engine/trans/crossmember assembly into the newer body and welded the crossmember to the body. Fit like a glove. Drove that car for quite some time.

This is a lot of work ... You just have a talent from God to bring cars back to life. Of course, no modern car can be compared with the classics! And it won't work at all after so many years - because modern cars have a computer and a lot of electronics. And they are made with the expectation of 3-5 years of operation.
