We recently restored this 1964 Rambler 660 classic.
Great care was taken to preserve its originality, retaining the authentic patina finish to maintain the character it had when it emerged from storage.
The vehicle was fully stripped down, under body and interior floor pans were sandblasted, with all areas requiring attention repaired to meet panel certification requirements.
While the exterior was intentionally left with its original weathered appearance, the engine bay, inner panels, and underside were refinished to a high standard, giving them a fresh, factory-like appearance.
The engine was rebuilt by Hawera Automotive 1999 Ltd and finished in the original factory colours.
The entire running gear was refurbished and reassembled, with the engine bay and underbody presented as new.
New rubber seals were fitted throughout, and the interior received a comprehensive refresh, including new carpet installed by Customline Upholstery.
Thank you to Central Taranaki Automotive for sending the job our way and for completing the final mechanical work to get the vehicle running and driving as it should.
This is a truly unique and impressive vehicle, and most importantly, it now has one happy owner.
