Vehicle Description
Classic wagons are absolutely cool. Especially when you have this
1970 AMC Ambassador Station Wagon that has upgraded V8 power and
the control of a four-speed. Yes really, this grocery-getter has
four-on-the-floor! It makes for an awesome and interesting vehicle
that's ready for all your family and friends.
The AMC Ambassador was about being large and premium all in the
first glance, and this one upholds that quite nicely. We have the
window sticker that tells us this was born Frost White, but this
was given a professional respray later in life to really bring out
the high-gloss appeal. Bright chrome bumpers, turbine-style wheels,
AMC mud guards, and a body-colored luggage rack all drive home that
look of retro-cool and premium. And as you look closer, you see a
well-done wagon with doors that close with authority. Plus, the
full pinstriping package loves to show off the straightness of the
sheetmetal. And while this full-size wagon already has a ton of
appeal, there's also terrific rarity. After all, AMC made far less
than the other car manufacturers. In fact, there were less than 14k
wagons built in 1970, and half a century later, we bet you're going
to be hard-pressed to find another sleeper-style machine like
this.
Just like a true premium vehicle, the blue pinstriping is a preview
of the full blue interior. The low odometer is believed to reflect
the car's total mileage (the mileage is still actual on the title),
and the ultra-clean presentation inside really reinforces this
little-use feeling. Both rows of seats have a classic button-top
style that's repeated on the door panels. It's all part of an
overall time capsule-like style. There are great vintage features
like the working clock, wood-like trim, and working dome light.
They also have the original AM radio on display and provisions for
air conditioning in case you want to restore these factory
features. The huge rear cargo area means you can take family and
friends along for trips or tailgating. Of course, you don't need
anyone else to have fun in this special AMC. The classic Ambassador
logo steering wheel has a great vintage look and feel. But the
sensation you'll really love is when you look beyond it to spot the
hood tach. It goes nicely with floor shifter for you to truly enjoy
what's in the engine bay.
We know this was born a V8 car, but when making something this
cool, they made sure to reach up and grab the best on of the era.
So this is now powered by AMC's mighty 390 cubic-inch motor. It
looks quite stock in the engine bay, and so you retain a little
more of the sleeper style. However, if people dig a little deeper,
they will recognize performance upgrades like the Demon four-barrel
carburetor and Edelbrock RPM intake. The enhanced V8 even gets to
exhale out of a newer H-pipe dual exhaust. And you get full control
over it all thanks to the T10 four-speed manual transmission. While
this makes for a cool hot rod style wagon, it also never loses its
practical side. Power steering, power brakes, and modern cruising
whitewalls means this grocery-getter easily means grocery runs.
Not only does the sale come with the windows sticker, but also the
owner's manual and maintenance records. This is one of the coolest
wagons around, and the price is irresistible, so don't miss your
chance. Call today!!!
