I never thought I’d wind
up loving a Rambler.

I came to own this 1964 
American 330 2 door coupe 
because my boy thought it 
was a Chevy II.  It was 
sitting beside the road, 
for sale, and he was just 
old enough to start 
dreaming about his first 
car.  We drove over to 
look at it, and I found 
it to be an interesting 
twist on my Rambler memories.

It had a 350 cubic inch 
Chevy engine, complete 
w/dual exhaust, a 350 turbo 
automatic, an Elelbrock 
intake with a Carter AFB, 
and a 3:73 Chevy rear end.
 
  It was fast, 
hard to steer, and hard to 
stop.  The interior was 
restored original.  Not 
perfect, in fact nothing 
about the car was perfect,
but it was a nice little 
affordable hot rod that 
was pretty and fast and 
I liked it right away.

I bought it for him and we 
dreamed of all the things 
we were going to do with it, 
but after a while he lost 
interest in a car that 
needed more time spent 
working on it than driving 
it, so I swapped him a 
pickup for it and it became 
mine.  Of course, by then 
I’d fallen head over heels 
for it.

On the following pages I’ll 
show what I’ve done and what 
I’m doing to make it better, 
for example, one of the first 
things I did to it was to swap 
the old shoe brakes over to 
disk.  I looked all over for 
a site to help me do that and 
didn’t find one, so I 
thought I’d build one.  

This is it...
