I keep seeing this one come up, and I'm almost tempted. I don't know anything about this car, though.

For that price I'd hope it had never ever had any rust. That's pretty steep for a 4-door Rambler.

@petegossett - $1500 is steep for a rust-free Rambler? Wow, I need to shop where you shop! ;-)

@littleturquoiseb - If you have a 3-speed auto, and the shifter is on the column, isn't that accurate? Odd, but accurate, as far as I can tell. Unless you mean ramblers didn't come with 3-speed autos?

No I think he just means that 3 on the tree traditionally refers to a column shifted manual. It is not a term normally associated with an automatic.

Meh, been awhile since I bought a ramber, not sure I want that partcular model bad enough to think its a good deal. 1960 Wagon....hell yes.

Looks like there's enough there for an original resto but I always thought Ramblers would make the ultimate sleeper.
