1963 AMC Rambler 660 Classic – Rare Aussie-Built V8 You’ve NEVER Seen! 🇦🇺

We’ve got something seriously unique on Aussie Garage — a 1963 AMC Rambler 660 Classic, Australian-built and powered by a V8 conversion you don’t see every day. In this episode, Phil catches up with Steve to take a deep dive into one of the rarest classic cars on Australian roads. Originally a 6-cylinder, this Rambler now runs a AMC 327 V8, paired with a 3-speed automatic, making it the perfect cruiser with plenty of character. Bought sight unseen from auction and off the road since 1992, this classic has been brought back to life with careful mechanical work, subtle upgrades, and a focus on keeping its original charm intact. What makes this car truly special? There were only a limited number of these brought into Australia — and even fewer survive today. 👉 In this episode: • Walkaround of a rare 1963 AMC Rambler 660 Classic • Full story of the auction purchase and restoration • AMC 327 V8 engine breakdown • Unique “Carb Cheater” air-fuel system explained • Interior, patina, and original features • Custom exhaust and suspension upgrades • On-road driving impressions If you love rare classic cars, Aussie-built muscle, and unique garage builds, this is one you don’t want to miss. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:06 Meet Steve & The 1963 Rambler 01:30 Auction Find & Backstory 02:00 Bringing It Back to Life 03:30 Why AMC Rambler? 04:40 Australian Assembly Explained 06:40 Wheels & Suspension Setup 08:00 Under the Bonnet – AMC 327 V8 09:40 Carb Cheater Explained 11:50 Gearbox & Drivetrain 13:00 Interior Walkthrough 16:10 Patina & Rear End 17:20 Boot & Rear Design 19:30 Rambler Club & Ownership 21:00 Exhaust Setup 21:50 Driving Impressions 26:10 Outro Get ready for the ultimate automotive experience!
