| Dad got this car in San Francisco and I loved it's Sea Green interior. So I sold the Ambassador and got it from dad. It had 327 V8, AC, AT, AM radio, consol, disk brakes, Power steering, Power brakes, tilt wheel, clock. We installed a factory Air conditioner (they fit in very nicely into the dash, etc.). I loved this car but mom still teases to this very day about it's small trunk lid!!!!! |

8/16/80 $650, sold 1/15/81 $750
| After selling the Marlin I bought a '66 Chrysler New Yorker, then replaced that with a '60 Volvo (yuck!). Again Dad bought this car and I took this car from Dad to replace the Volvo. Note that Dad had a car of his own already, he and I just loved to fix Ramblers! |

$200, sold 12/27/86 $300(?)
| I sold the '64 American and bought a '65 Cadillac Sedan deVille, then traded that in for my first new car a '83 Plymouth Colt hatchback. Unfortunatly I had to give that car up as I couldn't afford the payments. After totally being without a car I was finally able to coax my father to loan me money to get the '65 Rambler. My LAST Rambler Sigh! In the background of the picture you can see my fathers '65 Rambler wagon and the '74 Hornet I bought that was a bargain I couldn't pass up! |
bought
10/17/86 $300, sold 3/7/90 $400
| The poor old '65 Rambler needed transmission work so I was 'ordered' to replace it. Seeing this Hornet in the paper for $300 (cheaper than doing the transmission) was a temptation I couldn't resist. I needed a 'newer' car to be able to get parts for anyway. I really liked this car! |
bought
10/15/89 $400, sold 9/6/90 $700
| I guess my love affair with wagons got me on the case of changing cars again but anyway this car also needed transmission work and I didn't have the money so again I was 'forced' to get another car. I really love owning station wagons for hauling model railroad layouts amoungst other things! This car had so many problems that I can see why AMC failed! So I got the '75 Cad and have been 'happy' ever since, though I wish I had a Rambler... |
