Simply Stated: 1960 Rambler Super American
It’s easy to forget the success of the Rambler in the late 50’s and early 60’s but for a few years Rambler was third in sales only behind Chevy and Ford. Demand for economical compacts was developing and while Falcons, Corvairs and Valiants were being unveiled by the big three the Rambler American beat them to the punch when they unveiled the American in 1958. For less than 2 grand (which is only $14,851 in 2017 dollars) you got yourself a reliable 30 mpg highway car that was widely praised by the automotive press. This extremely clean driver is located in Macon, Georgia through Craigslist for $13,000.

No Joke: 1977 AMC Pacer
Called the ‘first wide small car’ the AMC Pacer along with the Gremlin have been the butt of jokes since their inception. Egg on wheels, fishbowl, hamster mobile, bubble car were just afew of the taunts directed at the Pacer. Check any ‘worst car list’ and these maligned AMC’s are always in the mix. Well, the Pacer may have the last laugh. The last few years has seen a surge in interest in these odd little 70’s machines highlighted by the sale of the ‘Wayne’s World’ Pacer for an astonishing $37,400.
This Pacer wagon is actually more conventional looking than the more bulbous Pacer sedans. The owner says he has invested over $17,000 into the car including many new mechanical parts and a new interior from SMS. The Pacer also includes some rare options including a rear glass washer and wiper and front vent windows. The car was also repainted in 2011 and has picked up a few scratches since then. Listed on Hemmings in San Diego for $11,750 firm. Compare the price to this extremely nice Pacer that sold in 2011 for $4,300 and you can see that these have turned out to be nice investments.

Stately: 1969 AMC Ambassador Diplomat
This mostly original AMC Ambassador Diplomat was the top of the line offering from AMC in 1969. Located in Orlando, Florida and posted on Ebay in a no reserve auction there is plenty to like starting with the crisp conservative styling that was a hallmark of most of what came out of American Motors in the 1960’s. The seller states that the odometer reads 18,170 with no claims of originality. A close look at the pictures shows that there is enough of a patina to safely assume that the odometer has flipped. Being AMC’s top dog, this Ambassador is equipped with a 343 V8 paired with a 4 barrel carburetor and a Borg Warner automatic transmission. There no description of any mechanical issues although the owner does state that the car is ‘running and driving.’ Power Steering, Power Brakes, Cruise Control and factory AC are also among the options although the seller does say that the AC is untested.
