Bone Dry: 1965 Rambler Classic

Out of Nevada and now residing in Phoenix this bone dry rust free 43,000 mile Rambler Classic is described as rust free and very original right down to the paint. With the mechanics and driving condition described as ‘incredible’ this is great find for Rambler and wagon lovers alike. You can find this Wagon on Ebay with a BIN of $9,500 or you can make an offer to the seller.

This is the 550 level Classic wagon which was the entry trim level of the Classic series. A no frills car with few options, no radio and a three on the tree manual transmission, this was a perfect choice for the frugal Rambler buyer of the day. One upgrade that can be seen is the stylish spinner hubs.

It looks like rear window deflectors were once on the car and since the attachment holes are already there it seems a no brainer for the next owner to track down a set for that nice vintage wagon touch. The seller does say that the paint is faded in areas which isn’t evident in the photos but it does seem like the paint could use some polishing to brig back the shine.

Rambler had such a clean crisp look that really began in 1963. I’d put this wagon design up against anything the big three had to offer in 1965. The simple but functional interior looks great and the wagon is as clean inside as it is on the outside

Now there’s an engine you can work on! Although the seller says the mechanics are outstanding and he wouldn’t be afraid to drive it anywhere it is good to know that Rambler has a good supply of parts online. Ramblers had the reputation for being affordable, reliable and well built and now some 50 years later their reputation still holds true.
