    New guy here with a 66 Rambler American wagon in 440 trim. It's kinda of a rare Rambler with a factory 290 V8, A/T, A/C, P/B, P/S and lots more factory options. The car still has all it orig running gear in it. The 290 has been bored 40 over, nice cam, headers, Offy 360 intake and elelbrock 600 carb. It just turned 43,000 yesterday. More to follow>>>> I will post some pictures when I can.

    Welcome, Cat!!

    You've probably got the most fully-equipped Rambler American wagon ever built. Only factory ones I've seen with V8's are the S/C's......(or was is 'Scrambler'...? Don't remember.)
