Description:

1964 Rambler 770 Classic The Rambler Classic is an intermediate sized automobile that wasbuilt and sold by American Motors Corporation from the 1961 to 1966model years. The Classic took the place of the Rambler Six andRambler Rebel V-8 names, which were retired at the end of the 1960model year. Introduced a six-passenger four-door sedan and stationwagon versions, additional body styles were added. Two-door modelsbecame available as a "post" sedan in 1963 as well as a sportypillarless hardtop. The 1964 model year Classics were refined withstainless steel rocker moldings, a flush single-plane aluminumgrille replacing the previous year's deep concave design, and ovaltail lamps replacing the flush-mounted lenses of the 1963's.Classics with bucket seats and a V8 engine could be ordered with anew "Shift-Command" three-speed automatic transmission mounted onthe center console that could be shifted manually. A new two-doormodel joined the line only available in the top 770 trim. Thepillarless hardtop offered a large glass area, and "its sales werebrisk". Styling courtesy the infamous Richard Teague, we have in our midsta breath of Classic 770 air in a straight steel bathed in blackpaint, has mirror-like trimmings, and a good interior. We see verygood overall condition, one of a suspected 2,900 built, quitepossibly the only one in the good old US of A and runs justperfectly. Breathe it in...deep breaths! ExteriorThis Classic has been restored and now sports rust free steel, wellminded gaps, and all bathed in a respray of glossy black from thedeep end of the paint pool. A very simple line with fewembellishments, gives this car an almost futuristic aero look. Withits horizontal ribbed and divided grille, flanked by a roundheadlight on either side and a pristine bumper below, it has an airof sophisticated utilitarianism. A ribbed trim spear starts on eachfront quarter, covering the doors and finishing at the tail with aClassic emblem in your grandmother's script just below. The new for64 stainless rocker trim connects the wheel houses and on the backthe simplicity continues with a pair of elongated oval tail lightsand reverse lights in the shiny bumper below. A nicely curved rearwindow is trimmed by shiny edging and wraps around the C pillar fora real greenhouse effect. Passenger windows have nice trimmings asdoes the windshield. Nice reverse dish wheel covers with finnedcenters and a badged italic R in the center are on and wrapped bythin whites on all 4 corners. A few inclusions are noted in thepaint, especially on the C pillars and some small hazing spots areseen on the hood. InteriorAs we swing the doors fully open, we see horizontal and verticaltextures that dance together with chrome spears, all produced invinyl and covering the door panels. Oversized bucket seats with redhorizontal tuck and roll stitched vinyl make up the seat insertswhich are bordered by piping in red and smooth red vinyl bolstersall clean and pristine. This pattern holds true for the rear bench,and these are floating in a sea of deep red carpeting very cleantoo! The dash brings back great memories as the 1963 version ofthis car was this writer's college car courtesy my grandmother whohad put only 21,000 miles on my car prior to me taking it over in1978. That car was a real hit, and this one is even nicer, so catchthe wind to get over here. I digress, though, and for the dash anelongated aluminum rectangle has a fanned-out speedometer in themiddle flanked on the sides by the heater and wiper controls, allhiding under a red steel eyebrow. The factory radio resides frontand center in more ribbed aluminum and just below is a RamblerCanada badge to denote this car's assembly lineage. A note to thetrunk which is lined with like new vinyl and contains the spare andoriginal jack and stand. DrivetrainA 287ci V8 is within the simple wide-open engine bay. This engineis bathed in red along with the air cleaner and valve coverings. Itis topped with a 2-barrel carburetor and has a Borg Warner T-86E3-speed manual transmission bolted to the back which is shifted bya stalk on the steering column. The rear axle is a 3.54 ratio. UndercarriageUp in the Classic Auto Mall air atop the lift, we can peruse theundercarriage, which has some patina, strong steel and is an earlyversion of unibody construction. Structurally sound, no rust, withdrum brakes all around, and the typical independent coil springsuspension upfront, and a swing arm with coil spring designation onthe rear. Dual exhaust is on with Turbo style mufflers and lookinggood. Drive-AbilityThis car was a modern convenience drive far cry from my basic 63flathead with vacuum wipers (a nightmare!). It started right up anddrove like it was on a cloud. Strong acceleration, and smoothshifting from the Borg Warner, as well as bias free panic stoppingfrom the drums all around. All functions were working, and theradio turned on but received no stations. Do they still broadcastin AM??! Anyway, driving this car was a breeze, and that's no hotair. A well restored and nicely presenting model from the 1964 modelyear. Clean paint and simplistic lines flow together to create acar looking akin to the Chrysler products of the same era at a muchlower cost. Few were built and hardly any made it stateside. Stepout of the ordinary with a piece of automotive history from Ramblerand our friends to the North...the 1964 Rambler Classic. Ahhhhh!Fresh classic cool air...
