Mr. Peoria VW man here....I was able to comment on this video, unlike the other one I mentioned in my email to you.
I really like the Rambler! Don't sell it! I am subscribed.

Ramblers are usually keepers. I’ve had 13 of them thru the years.
You got the Ambassador there. That’s top of the line you know 👍
My mom had 3 of these when I was a kid.
great old Rambler. You should be in more of your videos
Super cool car. these aren't very common but hellva lot of fun and unique. Not sure if u still own the car or not, but i'd say license plate floor patch, and DIY low budget interior cleanup. Make it Ratty cruiser.
Thats exactly what i did, used a clothes dryer on the floor amd amazon seat covers. Watch the other video. Thanks kyle.
restore it. neat survivor~!
Very cool car! Nice job resurrecting it! Encouraged me to go out and work on my ‘59 Studebaker.
You got it robert, its cake get er done.
pvc will desolve i used exhaust pipe tubing and a coupler. has worked for 30 years. my 59 rambler only has 480,000 miles on it. is 130mph capable. with the automatic it gets 20 mpg. rubber suspicion parts are not available through parts houses. the is a company in Stevenville that has bushings made of kevlar that fit in the lower A frame. I've got one on mine and so far so good. mine is a 2 barel 327
Only 480,000 miles???
Cruisemaster oil filter is made by Gulf . A Gulf station was my first job .
Cool old car keep em on the road not the scrapyard!
Yes sir, thanks J W
Just get some exhaust on her and tires. She's cool.
Thanks Marc!
pvc will dissolve over time. I used exaust tubing bent to the shape of the old rubber hose. has worked in my 59 rambler for 40 years. my 327 has 490k mils on it.
Thanks to share.
Thank you!
Also for people out there D1 is all three gears D2 starts in second and goes third
Correct
Sounds like Christine.
Awesome!
Every Sunday morning, you should show up at Church in it. Fight on Ukraine.
Nice job on the manual master cyl. conversion. I too have heard the stories about the Treadlevac units. Mines still working fine since 1974 when it was last rebuilt never a problem but could be the dot5 silicone fluid I've always used. Better lubricity and dosent attract moisture like regular fluid. Ps,that starter motor sure sounds familiar to me!
Thanks gerald, it was just too expensive to buy a new one and i didnt want to risk rebuilding it and it failing from my bad rebuild lol.
Find a front seat clean up and drive!
Clean the inside... wash the out side. Wash all the windows' Disinfect inside mice Rat's
Thanks jim
had one back in the 70s ran awesome but the engine crossmember rotted out and the motor dropped on the ground when i was going around a turn. pulled the plates and walked away
WHOAH! Wonder what ended up happening to the old car.
I know a lady that has the same car into green with the continental kit. They all have push button automatics at that time
6 cylinders didnt have push button auto.
You couldn't get a 6 cylinder in the ambassador at that time
@@ramblerkid1 Correct
Actually you could get a push button automatic in the 6 cylinder rambler as well. I know someone that has one. I'm not sure if it was an option or automatically came with the auto trans. It may have something to do with the year as well
IHAVE ONE JUST LIKE YOURS.. BARELY STARTING ON IT.. WHAT KIND OF MASTER CILINDER DID U GET???
Rockauto.com the car was a power brake car, i ordered a manual master cylinder it was only like $50 i think.
👍💪
The throttlebacks can be rebuilt and were used in many cars at that time
What's a throttle back?
Treadleback power brake booster/master cylinder. They are about 350 to rebuild
I'm gonna send my vids to you for editing.
How much $$$?
😝
$1,000,000
@@somewhatfast I'll get back to you in a week. 😂
Perfect Nick!
Where did you get all those parts?
Rockauto
Get leaded fuel for it.
Obviouly you haven't worked on any four wheel drum brake cars. The front drums are always pressed onto the hub. Its not like disc brakes with removable rotos
It was for comedic relief.
Don't use copper tubing for brake lines.
This was over a year ago. No issues
Sell buy something else 2000.00 obo
Sold it for 4500
why do you want to fix a junkie beat up old car like that?
Why dont you?
Daniel you have no idea what your talking about. I have 10 Ramblers. Great cars
You have to have a real passion for old cars to successfully handle a job like that Ambassador Dan. I've seen cars way worse than that restored. The Ambassadors rarity makes it a special challenge. Folks who don't have that passion will probably never understand.
If you don't like old cars, stop watching. We Love Old Cars, they are built with heart and are pieces of Art. Go get a prius, dumbass.
I, Personally would spend the money 🤑💰 & make this Rambler shine, from Top to Bottom, Side To Side. Factory New. then maybe your Wife, Or Girlfriend I Don't no which, would
Not have to put & old Towel, on that old Torn seat, so she won't get her Pants Dirty, at Least do it for Her. Make her proud to be Riding in the Best Dam Rambler, in the State, come on do it for her.
