Nice find and wow that car is solid! There usually rusted Especially in the front floor boards but dam that's clean!! Congrats and if you need parts there's a few AMC suppliers in the states that you can get parts from: Americanpartsdepot, In Ohio, Blasers in Wisconsin, Galvins AMC rambler parts in Lodi California and KennedyAmerican in Ohio also!

That is some great info on parts suppliers! Thanks!

This is an incredibly clean car, it also came with a ton of paperwork and manuals.

Looks like fun! I love it when someone picks up an old car that other people pass over and just has fun with it.

Changed out the brake light switch which is just a pressure switch mounted under the master cylinder so now the brake and signal lights work, and checked the brakes. They have about 1/2 life left, so Carmen and I drove down to the beach today. It runs and drives great, already got a couple thumbs up. I'm excited to drive this more often.

I changed out the wheels yesterday since the original tires were full of bulges and a bit nerve wracking. I was having trouble finding a tire shop that stocked a 205/75/14 so I threw on a set of Magnum 500's I had, 235/60/14s on the front and 245/60/14s out back. The wheels definitely gave it a smoother ride and brought up the look of the car in my opinion.

I'll step in on this.

Blaser's is awesome to deal with, too. Great folks with a lot of knowledge on AMC's.
