Vehicle Description
Do you ever just look at a car and say, "Yes!" With its sleek
metallic paint, awesome custom interior, upgraded suspension,
four-wheel disc brakes, overdrive transmission, and fuel-injected
V8 power, this rare 1967 AMC Rambler American Convertible Restomod
fits in with the pony car crowd but gallops in its own
direction.
A Rambler already seems like a rare sight on the classic car scene,
and we bet you can't even remember the last time you saw a
convertible version. They rivaled the Mustang drop-top in price,
and so only about 920 were sold. Oh yeah, Ford made almost as many
Mustang convertibles in a week as AMC Rambler did all year! But
that's not rare enough for this one because it has been turned into
a true custom one-of-a-kind. You see this difference immediately in
the unique exterior. The shining chrome bumpers are a nicely
integrated piece borrowed from a 1971 Corvette. The tail lights are
from a 1969 Corvette mounted so cleanly they look stock. And here
are other sleek details, like the billet grille, deleted rocker
trim, and shaved door handles. Since this is going for a slicker
kind of presentation the paint is a professional application of a
very smooth and glossy silver. It's all quite a thoughtful and
well-assembled custom build. They took the time to get the details
right. That's why the carbon fiber wrap on the hood and trunk goes
well with the black folding roof. And while the polished American
Racing Torq Thrust wheels look right on a classic, the larger
17-inch size means you get to fit the best in modern performance
tires.
You have remote door openers on a key fob, and that is your gateway
to a full custom interior. It's a fresh and inviting style anchored
by well-bolstered late-model seats with comfy velour inserts. It
has all the best in modern cruising features, like an AM/FM/CD
stereo with Bluetooth, a power convertible top, cup holders, an
armrest center console, and provisions for R134a air conditioning
(it will need servicing to blow cold again.) Just like the
exterior, this also has thoughtful little things, like a fold-down
armrest for the rear seats and a proper convertible boot cover. But
what you'll like best of all is how they made sure this was a truly
engaging driver. You have a banjo-style sports steering wheel, a
tilt column, a cool/custom floor shifter, and a full set of Dakota
Digital readouts.
The Chevy bumpers and tail were not just about style; they were
also a hint at the upgrade under the hood. The ultra-clean and
smooth inner walls of the engine bay put the 5.7-liter
fuel-injected LT1 motor on full display. That means a serious
upgrade to the growl of the dual exhaust and a serious power boost
to this lightweight Rambler body. But more than just extra muscle,
the modern powerplant also adds reliability. And you combine this
with the upgraded suspension that includes a Mustang II-style
tubular A-arm front end, rear traction bars, and adjustable
coilovers all around. Now you have the recipe for an awesome
driver. Plus, there are other great any-time enjoyment upgrades
like rack & pinion power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes,
and a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
Unique, beautiful, rare, powerful, and an all-around driver - this
is the best of everything. And if you hurry, it can all be yours.
