AMC Rambler - video

[turborambler]

Ok I made a short video of my 1968 American Motors Rambler making some runs through the gears. It has a 1986 GN motor with a turbo 400. I just got classic plates and it is all street legal. So now I can cruise.

Yeah it is a single 4" mandrel bent straight pipe. I need to add a muffler but need to figure out where to put it under there. I got all the pipe from a 18 wheeler place for pretty cheap and mig welded everything. I just added a tip that points it out back instead of down and man that made it much nicer inside the car.

I would leave it as is, it sounds nice!

Canon HV20

Any of the HD HV20 to HV40s (I think they are called Vixia or something now) are hard to beat for quality versus price. The video is rendered in 1080 30p HD. I did not even spend the right time getting everything set right - I stuck it in the car and drove around some and did a few shots.
Thanks for the comments!

Hey man! Long time no talk to. Doing good. You guys got my boy Colt McCoy up there.

Absolutely love it and enjoyed the vid too! I wouldn't change a thing nor paint it except maybe retrofit in an AC system. That will be one fun sleeper! Enjoy!

Fantastic! Love the "different" cars and always liked the Ramblers too.
I have a JVC HD camera too but I can't get the movies to go from the camera to my PC in a form I can post or save anywhere. What do you use for a conversion program?

Growing up in NY my family always had Ramblers. I think you might want to upgrade the brakes.
