1968 AMC Ambassador SST review from North America
"All around awesome car! Fun to drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuse went out on Air Conditioning - I replaced it and have had no other problems.
General comments?
I have never owned an Ambassador until now, and I can tell you, they are one of the best built cars made.
I do think they went too conservative on the sporty options on the Ambassadors.
