Ride Specs & Info

Ride Nickname:
Velvet

Make:
AMC

Model:
Rambler

Year:
1961

Introduction / Overview:
Here's my 1961 Rambler American Wagon. I purchased this June of 2006. She's a total project, but dry as a bone! The name comes from the porno book I found inside called "Velvet's Vibrations". It was printed in 1971.

Drivetrain:
Nothing yet, but I'm gonna... do one of about 7 ideas I've had. Lately it's all about the GASSER style. I'll use a Nissan V8 for the "Ameripan" theme or go with a big or small block Ford.

Chassis:
The front is now alot of nothing. I need a straight axle.

Wheels:
I can't decide if I'll use black steel wheels with WWW's or the Radir wheels shown in the pictures.

Body:

I haven't decided on the color yet, but I know it'll have a silver or white metal flake top. The only custom tricks will be the shaved door handles.

Interioir:
I'm going to use all the stock seats including the stock front bench. Have you ever seen how a Rambler seat reclines to form a bed with the back seat?
