Hello new here

Hello im located in orlando, fl and i am the proud owner of a 1965 rambler station wagon. I just spent 15,000 on body work and i decided to take the rest on myself.

 

Syn, 64 Rambler bet it looks awesome after all that body work. What is it that your taking on? Would really like to see a picture or two if you can manage it

 

Look forward to seeing it. The market on AMC wagons, esp. mid 60s had a nice spike
in the collectors market not too long ago, seems like time and money well spent whether
you keep it or not.
Hope you keep it for a long time.

 

pics

are posted now.

 

, thats alot of $ to put in, share some more details about it

 

to the wagon train, synwag. Looks great. But...$15K is a LOT of money. What's left to do?

 

well the fact of it is i got over charged, thats it in a nut shell. when i got the car it was completely rusty, wholes in the floor boards, the entire carpet was soaked through with water, everything in it was ruined, it would not start. so what did i get charged 15 grand for, everything except a new gas tank, new wires, a new battery, carpet, a new headliner, and my engine needs cleaned.

 

Well....in that case....maybe you didn't get over charged. Lotta work.

 

Keep us up dated, would like to see your progress. So what do you have left to do?

 

Those pictures are a good teaser, when can we expect some "final product" pics?
It's lookin really good, by the way. Interesting, attractive color combo, tho, admittedly,
I'm a big fan of that original AMC turquoise your car appears to have started out in.

 

synwag. lookin' good Man Pay no attention to what SF sayz, He still thinkz gas should be .25 ah gallon an bread 5 loafz fer ah dollarTrust me, In todayz world when it'z done rite 15 large iz chicken feed for rebuilding a cancerous Long Roof. Enjoy your ride here at the FARM, WE DOEZ Jer

 

For BB's edification.......^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^..........

But....yeah.....gas should be 25 cents a gallon. I remember pumping gas at my dad's gas station for 16 cents a gallon.
Admittedly, I did get a real eye opener when I jumped into building another car a year ago. Real sticker shock!
Yup.....I DO long for the old days again.

Welcome to the wagon train.

 

Very close to the same spot you grew up at on the same planet.
