1963 AMC Rambler Classic 660 review from North America
"Bloody beauty!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced bias ply tires with radials.
Replaced master brake cylinder.
Replaced vacuum wiper motor with an electric one.
General comments?
I picked this car up from an auction in San Francisco for $800 and drove it back to Seattle, and this beauty did not skip a beat.
The vehicle has a great bench seat system that when unfolded, turns into a complete double bed. What a simple and great idea.
I drove the car 60-70 mph and averaged 20 mpg for this trip. Not bad for a 44 year old car. It's a keeper.
