Vehicle description
This 1961 Rambler Classic Super is a great candidate for restoration, as it is mostly complete. Imagine this baby with a fresh coat of green paint and whitewalls, and a shine put on those hubcaps! Oh yea.
As far as I know everything is original on it. The drivetrain is an inline 6 (I believe it is all aluminum in the 1961 Super), and three-speed manual, column shift.
It"s missing a headlight bezel, has a broken taillight lens, and the windshield is cracked. There may be a few other minor things, but as you can see, it"s pretty much complete. Some dents on the bumpers, that otherwise look good. Perhaps they can be pulled out.
Paint looks original, too. The rust looks like just surface rust on the top, and other spots here and there. The original green would look great on it, restored. Look at that trunk!
It"s been sitting for probably 9-10 years. When I purchased it, it needed a clutch, but ran. The gas tank will need to be flushed and have fresh gas before trying to crank it (and I recommend an oil change). So you will need a trailer to pick it up. But it"s solid, and there was no engine damage or knocking when I parked it.
The odometer says 68,246. The previous owner said he thought it was accurate, but I have no idea. We do have a clean title for it.
Interior needs restoration, like the rest of the car, but that bench back seat looks good, and gives you a taste of what the restored interior would look like. Headliner maybe could be cleaned and kept. Blankets were on the seats when we purchased it, so I"m assuming these will need to be reupholstered. Front carpet/padding is rough, but floorboards are solid, not rusted through.
The tires still hold air, so it can be pushed into the street for easy access (I"ll lend a hand, neighbor).
AND, if you buy it outright for the price I"m asking, you"re getting the original factory/dealer service and parts manuals from the early 60s. Whaaat! you say?
Yea, that"s right. That"s what I said. All you"re going to need are tools and sweat equity (and a few parts that I"m sure are a tad worn out. But that"s a given).
This is located in a small mountain town in Colorado, two hours west of Denver. It"s a pretty spot. I think you"ll like the visit, as the aspens are about to turn. .
Arrangements for pickup need to be finalized within seven days of purchase. Please.
Great car, and a great project. Now, what you see is what you get, and the car is sold as is, with no warranty inferred or implied. I tried my best to represent it accurately - it is a 57 year-old car.
If you need clarification or more info, by all means just ask. I"m here, and available. Once you make the deposit we can take it to phone if you like. I want you to be comfortable, and happy with the purchase.
The sale is final. $500 deposit required via Paypal within 48 hrs. of the winning bid.
It is for sale locally, and I retain the right to pull the listing.
A link to download a video file (Rambler Walkaround.mp4) can be sent to active bidders, upon request. It"s nothing fancy, but you"ll see a walkaround, and hear me closing doors to let you know the seals are still pretty tight.
Thank you for looking, folks. Not a lot out of these out there.This would be a great restoration.
Take care.
