1967 AMC Rebel Rambler 770 review from North America
"Awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electronic troubles such as fuses randomly blowing.
Right brake light occasionally works.
Recored the radiator.
Oil Leaks slow.
Needs Carb.
No air.
Replaced faulty gas line.
Headliner and interior door panels not cracked as well as dash, but seats and carpet are in poor condition.
Passenger floorboard leaks.
Suspension is shot.
General comments?
Despite the many yet minor things noted above this car still runs like a champ, it can lay down some damn good strips of rubber.
The transmission still shifts smoothly although for the car to down shift into first I have to be going less than 10 (it will do about 30 in first) and to down shift from 3rd to 2nd I have to put it into first (weird)
I love this car although the handling isn't great it is fairly quick in a straight line. The 3 speed transmission only gets up to about 95 but it gets there in a fair amount of time.
