This 1959 Rambler American Club Sedan was purchased by the seller in 2016, and since then it has been modified with air suspension, a 350ci Chevrolet V8, a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, and a Ford 8” rear end. The exterior was shaved and customized with a louvered hood, tunneled headlights, and Chevrolet taillights, while the unibody was reinforced and fitted with rack-and-pinion steering, front disc brakes, and a triangulated four-link rear setup. Inside, bucket seats have been added along with white and red upholstery, a B&M shifter assembly, a Pioneer CD head unit, aftermarket gauges, and a decorative panel covering the rear seat area. Other highlights include 17” steel wheels, an Edelbrock 600-cfm carburetor, and a stainless-steel dual exhaust system with central outlets. This modified Rambler is now offered at no reserve with a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.

The exterior trim and door handles were shaved during the build, and louvers were added to the hood. The corners of the hood and trunk lid were rounded, the headlights were tunneled, the windshield was replaced, and sport-style side mirrors, electric wipers, and LED lighting were installed. The PPG single-stage satin red urethane paint is contrasted by white pinstriping.

The bumpers were smoothed, the rear bodywork was modified with a recessed license plate box and ’54 Chevrolet taillights with custom lenses, and cutouts were added to the rear bumper to accommodate dual central exhaust outlets. The “Beep Beep” script on the tail panel is an homage to the song released by The Playmates in 1958.

Powder-coated 17×7” steel wheels wear polished hubcaps and are wrapped in 205/45 front and 225/50 rear Diamond Back redline tires. The seller tells us the tires and front air springs were replaced in 2024, and the air suspension is fed by a five-gallon tank linked to a VIAIR compressor. Custom-fabricated steel frame rails were added to the unibody, and the firewall, floors, and wheel tubs were constructed from 16-gauge sheet.

The front suspension was modified with a custom crossmember and power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering as well as spindles and 12” disc brakes sourced from a Ford Crown Victoria, while the Ford Maverick 8” rear axle features a triangulated four-link setup and drum brakes.

The reclining bucket seats were sourced from a Honda Civic and re-trimmed in white and red upholstery that carries over to the door panels. The dashboard fascia has been painted to match, and a center console was installed that houses a B&M shifter assembly and a Pioneer CD head unit. Insulation is said to have been installed under the black carpets. The wiring harness was assembled using Centech components.

The two-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a Speedhut 120-mph GPS speedometer, while Sunpro auxiliary gauges have been added to the center of the dash. The digital odometer indicates 5k miles, though total mileage is unknown.

The rear seat has been removed, and a louvered panel extends from the parcel shelf to the back of the front seats.

The 350ci Chevrolet V8 was rebuilt prior to installation using an RV camshaft, and it is equipped with an Edelbrock 600-cfm carburetor, a Unilite distributor, finned valve covers, “rams horn” exhaust manifolds, and a stainless-steel dual exhaust system. The aluminum radiator is cooled by a belt-driven fan augmented by an electric fan. The seller notes a leak in the rear main seal.

The filler neck for the 14-gallon fuel tank is accessed in the trunk, which also houses the battery within a plastic enclosure.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a custom driveshaft. A transmission oil cooler has been added.
