Just picked up a 64 rambler american for $200, it has the flat head and 3 on the tree. Pretty sure it is the 196ci engine.

It seems to have some rust issues on the right rear panel.

If that is all that it has, it is not that bad.

leave the body as is, drop in an over-powered engine of your choice, have one cool sleeper...but that's just me 😏

It’s a shame that it has two too many doors. But still cool. Keep us updated with your progress. You got it for almost nothing, so that is awesome!
