Jeff purchased this car in 1999 as a 40th birthday present for himself
(strange car for a mid-life crisis, but to each his own). He had the car
painted and changed the color from the original yellow to dark brown
and the interior has also been redone. Jeff was able to do most of the
work himself, with some help from his friends (also named Jeff).
The car was driven daily for a couple of years but is now relegated
to "spare car status".

bad brakes and a gas tank was patched with fiberglass. It also
had a bent LR axle, damaged LR quarter and the A/C compressor
was removed. Jeff has upgraded to front disc brakes, electronic
ignition, and removed the rotted vinyl top and painted that area
black. The suspension has been rebuilt, axle replaced, new tires
added and while the engine runs great it is still a work in progress.

Bruce Griffis's 1964 Rambler American has lived in Georgia all it's life.
Purchased from the original owner it is a work in progress, so far he has
had to un-seize the engine with some serious engine work thrown in.
The brakes have been rebuilt, fuel tank cleaned and lots of other odds
and ends that goes along with restoring a 44 year old car. He and his
sons have done all the work so far (with the help of a friend). Bruce still
has lots left to do to the car but his sons love driving it, learning how to
drive a 3 on the tree car.
Bruce's sons are really getting into this project!!
