"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.

AMC buyers in 1968 who wanted sporty would have been steered toward the Javelin/AMX, not the Ambassador.

The later model Ambassadors were even more conservative. You couldn't get bucket seats/console shift, even as options, after 1970.

Did it come with a factory 8-track? Chicks really dig an 8-track.

I own a 1968 Ambassador SST with the power-full 343 cu in motor. It is one fine car. Mine is all original and was purchase from a museum within the last 6 months. It is documented as one of the last (ALL ORIGINAL) in the U.S.A today. It has very low mileage. The car has only been shown twice and received a respectable crowd. The cars home base is Ft.Lauderdale, Fl.

I recently bought a 68 SST 343. Rescued it from northern weather and salt. Now in AZ, can't wait to work on it.
