Rich in patina, and in running shape, we certainly like the looks of this Rambler American. This American made short wheel base convertible could be a very fun and interesting project. We think it would be an excellent preservation with an engine swap with some period correct details to give it a 1960’s hot rod appearance. Or it would be a good restoration vehicle, or even a fun to play with car at the asking price of $2,950. Find it here on craigslist out of Atlanta, Georgia.

The interior on this Rambler is a little rough, but it does run and drive. The dash looks to be in fine shape and the rest of the interior looks to need a total restoration. The body of this Rambler looks straight, but it is obvious there is surface rust present. The exterior trim is not currently on the car, but the seller has mentioned some items are off of the car, but included with it. The only part of the body that looks concerning is the lower front valence of the car. It looks a little shabby, but it isn’t exactly clear in the photos. This Rambler features a 195 cubic inch inline 6 cylinder with an automatic transmission. We think this Rambler would be fantastic with a stick shift V8 combination, and some vintage style mag wheels.

The mind wanders with all the possibilities for this Rambler American. The price is just right, and the condition isn’t deplorable. If you bought it, you could drive it home! What a deal. We really like the styling of this American resembling that of a Ford Mk1 Cortina, but a little bigger all the way around. Cheap, stylish, and convertible we just struggle to come up with reasons to not bring this home. What would you do with this American? Restore, rat rod, Daily drive? The options seem limitless!
