We are thrilled to present this exceptional Ambassador wagon for

your consideration. Originally purchased from Harlo Motors in

Watertown, NY, this car has spent its life sheltered in garages

between NY and Chicago. It changed hands in 1985 and remains a true

2-owner survivor, boasting rare options such as the Flash-O-Matic

push-button transmission, power steering, and power brakes. This

authentic Ambassador V8 is largely intact, running, and driving,

and ready for its next proud owner.

ANALYSIS OF THIS WAGON!

Exterior:

This wagon's body is straight with no signs of prior damage,

featuring its original Baron Blue Metallic paint, which, although

faded, retains its authenticity. All trim, hardware, and chrome are

present and in good condition. The glass is clear and intact. While

there are minor rust spots, the car is an excellent candidate for

restoration or can be enjoyed as a cruiser in its current

state.

Interior:

The original Blue Cloth Interior is well-preserved and full of

potential. The dash, gauges, switches, and lenses are all in

excellent condition. Seatbelts are intact, and the seats are fully

functional. The headliner is in great shape throughout. The back

seat appears unused, and the rear area is clean with a dry spare

tire bay. Although the original shag carpet has been cleaned, it

needs replacement. Factory floor mats are included, and all

switches, including the wipers, lights, and horn, function

properly.

Under the Hood and Underbody:

Under the hood lies the original AMC 327 ci V8 engine, complete

with all original components. The power steering and power brakes

are operational, though the brakes are weak and could use

servicing. The underbody remains largely original except for a

newer exhaust and muffler setup. The car runs smoothly on its own

fuel system, starting easily and maintaining a nice idle. There is

some rust beneath the front seats extending into the fender liner

area, but overall, the underside is solid and straight. The

radiator has a lower leak but still circulates coolant

effectively.

Over the Road:

This car runs and drives well, with a tight suspension that tracks

straight despite older tires. The braking system functions but

would benefit from new wheel cylinders. The push-button shifter

operates flawlessly and is enjoyable to use. This car has immense

potential and stands out as a unique classic.

This Ambassador wagon represents a rare opportunity to own a piece

of automotive history that has been well-preserved and maintained

over the years. With its unique features, original components, and

overall solid condition, it is ready to be appreciated by its next

owner, whether as a restoration project or a charming classic

cruiser. Don't miss your chance to bring this remarkable vehicle

home.
