Vehicle Description
Affordable, interesting, and a survivor - this 1966 AMC Ambassador
is a great way to get all the right attention from any classic car
crowd. And for those days when you just want a cool cruiser, the
original 327 V8 is there to eat up the mile with ease.
The Ambassador received a striking redesign for 1966. Stacked
headlights were popular with Ford and Pontiac, but AMC gave had its
own flair with a pointed front end that gives this full-sized sedan
very sharp styling. In fact, this sets off a theme with
well-creased sheetmetal, bumpers, and even taillights. It truly
looks like it has the meticulously well-groomed appearance you'd
expect from a suit on a 1960s executive. That's what makes this one
so appealing. With amazingly preserved metal and complete trim, you
can still see today the how AMC was built its premium car for 1966.
This one is amazing right down to the details like the fresh
factory-correct Grenada Green paint and all the correct badging.
Even the original hubcaps come with the sale.
Inside, the two-tone green interior keeps the '60s theme alive
while also nicely coordinating with the exterior color. When you
look at the door panels, seat backs, and dash, you can tell that
this is original equipment that has survived nicely for over half a
century. But more than just that, you're going to have fun with the
details like the regional working AM radio and even the American
Motors accessory tissue holder is still in place! There's plenty of
room to take around family and friends in this full-size sedan, but
even if it's just you, the experience is still a fun one. You've
got the original stylized steering wheel with American Motors horn
cap. And beyond that there's a full set of gauges, as well as
everything from wipers to the heat/defrost is at your fingertips.
This is a true time capsule of classic motoring.
With a car this original so far, you're going to love opening the
hood. You and everyone else will already be able to tell this is an
exceptionally honest engine bay, and so you'll be happy to tell
them that this big red V8 is date correct to be original to the
car. And when it comes time to enjoy this out on the road, you'll
be pleased that the first owners checked the option box to upgrade
to the 327 cubic-inch motor. It fires up easily thanks to
investments like a new battery, fuel gauge, alternator, and
muffler. Plus, the three-speed automatic transmission shifts quite
smooth. AMC offered one of the best rear suspension packages for
large sedans for the era, and so the ride is exactly how you want a
cool cruiser like this to be. Plus, power brakes and new tires help
keep everything quite comfortable.

original warranty card, maintenance records, and pictures on
restoration work, you're looking at a rare gem with all the right
features. So if you want to standout in all the best ways, and do
