ranchhopper Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 One of the best cars ever made. My dad had Ramblers all through the 60s and 70s. They ran forever. He took care of them and they never let him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyT Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 My 54 Chevy Tudor post car had a rambler bench seat that turned into a bed😁 235 with an Edmonds two carb manifold. Stick shift conversion ( hence the 235) with the original auto rear end.Sparkomatic floorshift conversion! What fun ! Those ramblers were good cars if you cared for them,but they seemed to have a lot of trouble with the "trunnion" front end.They paid me 10.00 to tow them away! ,were paying 25.00 for them at the scrap yard!.in the early 70's Wish I'd put them all in storage til today! Hindsight is 20/20 ! That is a real bargain in todays world at 2500.What a "sleeper" that would make! Or even completely stock in that condition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 My Dad hauled Ramblers from Kenosha,Wisconsin in the late 1950's and 1960's.He had 5 trucks leased to Arco Auto Carriers Chicago,Illinois.2 of the trucks were Studebakers with I think 4-53 power. Quite a job before I-80 was built across Penna. on Route 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie dog Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 This is still available. Price is reduced to $2000 OBO. It needs to be saved. It was my brother's pride and joy until he passed away last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyT Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Joe Ditchkus, I used to drive for AT I out of the Pittsburgh railhead, they were bought by Nu Car Carriers I picked up a load of Amc Pacers at Kenosha Wi I remember there was a very pretty lake nearby! The pacers were ahead of their time, short and wide with a bigger door on the drivers side! Arco was a leaseway company as was Nu Car, possibly not when your dad was leased to them.
