Picked up a 1969 AMC Rambler 440

yeah, found a wicked awesome deal on Usedvictoria.com
seeing as I browse the site about a dozen times per day... I'm bound to come across a good deal once in a while.

This numbers matching, all original AMC is really good! i'm impressed.
Picked 'er up for cheap.

Looking forward to getting to drive it more, fixing the crapped out Valve cover gasket (old owner had the parts to do the repair!!)

You'll see much more of this car.
171,000miles on it.
199 straight six, 3 spd auto.

@CHUUMPASS Well thank you very much. There are not many AMC cars around anymore. It's a bit of a rare find. Looking forward to driving it more this spring/summer!

Cheers!

Nice. That should make a nice little cruiser for the summertime...

@pearsonba350 yeah, i'm thinking so! Looking forward to getting it up on the hoist and having a proper look over of it, and of course takign care of the Valve cover gasket as well.

Really nice find you have there! The valve covers have always been infamous for leaking, needing frequent tightening down and/or decent gaskets. The starters are very much like, if not Ford types, many parts inside interchangeable. Perhaps the smoke behind the car is carbon being blown out - and a bit of the oil smoking on the manifolds. Enjoy the car!
