'65 Rambler American Questions

[falcon64]

Guys,
I've been looking at a '65 American 2dr. sedan project car that's all there and completely original. aside from needing some work on the lower quarters behind the wheels and a rusty pass. rear floor pan, for $250.00 it seems like a good deal. It was running when recently parked and now has no spark. I'm guessing condenser or coil. At any rate what I wanted to know is 1) how hard will it be to find body parts and parts in general. 2) how big an engine (AMC or other makes) will fit (looks like there's plenty of room) and will this be a worthwhile project or will it be a frustrating endevor? Thanks!

that is a good price. Body parts can sometimes be hard to find, heres a good site for them though http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/amc.html other than a few places like that its up to the junk yards and ebay. You could put a 401 in it I'm sure. The last question is a tricky one. It will be frustating but worthwhile in the end.

Thanks for the for the input and link. I'm going to take another look at the car with a friend that's a body man sometime this week before making my final decision. I need to verify it runs and moves on it's own 'cause my Wife won't let me buy another project unless it does.
