So help me, I've bumped into a couple of Ramblers lately that caught my fancy. Here's one:

Another one (already sold) was a less tricked out version of this:
Is there any sort of support/ aftermarket for these things? They seem to be going into my personal island of lost Children along with old Volvos, Corvairs, Citroens, Rocket 88s and Studebakers.
You will want to joing the namdra amc club they support the amc hobby and the have listing for vendors withaIl the parts will need to gets parts. Let me get home tonight and i can get the info for joing the club if you still want the the info. n reply to kreb:
As for engines:
66 and older--"Old" 327/287 Nash/Hudson Packard-based V8 engine
Very little aftermarket.
As a footnote, the 1957 327 Rambler Rebel was the 2nd fastest car made in the US--the first was the Corvette.
'67 and newer has the all AMC "Modern" V8 290/343/390 (which became the 304/360/401 after 1970--Rambler name went away after 1969).
Decent aftermarket.
The 199/232/258 I-6 is the basis of the 4.0 Jeep engine--big aftermarket.
I like Ramblers. I've been wanting a 59 American wagon for years.
I have a friend selling a '62 Rambler convertible with a Camaro 2.8 V6/5-speed swap. He's not asking much over challenge pricing for it. I can get details/pics or put you in touch with him if you're interested. PM for details.
i'm selling a 66 classic 770 v8 sedan for slightly over challenge money but you're wrong coast.
Neat cars, but a tough sell when you're done with them. The AMC community is enthusiastic, but small.
