Have fancied a Yank for years.
Used to go to Wheels Day.
Now, I have one.

A '63 Rambler Ambassador 990.
All original.
65,000 miles.
5.4 V8.
Right hand drive. UK car from new.

Am I mad?

AMC went out of business 30 years ago.
Parts are 5,000 miles away.
Little UK knowledge.
My main classic this coming year.
Would hope to do 4,000 miles - not just a weekend potterer.

Been using Galvin.
The shipping and the exchange rate are real killers.

Mind you, I just sold a Silver Shadow I ran for two years. That was a killer too, in other ways.

Electronic, yes had thought of Lumenition if they do a kit. First thing I want to look at is the vacuum wipers. Car was quite advanced in some ways, but the wipers weren't one of them.
