an artist, he would put his signature on the casting, so if you get a new old one, if you can

find

one, sometimes they cost $1,000 $1,200 but it has an old bathroom air filter and that's a seven main bearing motor, yeah, it's seven main bearings, the Nash Hees had two carburetors, they would call it, they call it, in fact, we have a red Nash, they have double jet fire, uh, six-cylinder engine. um, the L Man engine, so one thing I've always found interesting about Rammbl is that there's no intake manifold, the carburetor bolts directly to the head, yeah, and the exhaust is not the exhaust manifold, which Same thing, it's a tube, there's no cast iron manifold, yeah, so it was all built into the head, so I guess in a way it was. bright and otherwise it didn't work, it heats up quickly, you don't have to wait for it to heat up, but it overheats, as if it could boil the gas.

No, I don't think I've had that problem. I got such good gas mileage one time my dad was working on a car and the guy lived in the country and he came and paid his bill, it was some work, working on a fuel pump or something and he went to the country, the man did it. He got a mile into the country and it died and stopped running so he stopped to talk to my dad and they had forgotten to turn the throttle back on and he had driven with just what was in the canister. Driven to the end of the country, yeah, what else do we have here?

Well, they're bothering us quite a bit, so I guess we've seen maybe 100 of his 200 cars here, but I'm. I'm looking forward to seeing that one you talked about in a

barn

not far from here. Can we go there? If we can. This is what you call a real F Barn. Wow, no joke, so a family property, yes, in fact, before I was born, it was put I'm 59 years old now before I was born, it was put here and it hasn't come out since there are still magazines here from 1963, so why was it put here? You know we always had a lot of cars to drive so we just put them here to preserve them mhm um they always had something to drive in fact like CER we didn't put a lot of gas in the cars because we didn't know from one day to the next.

Then whether we would sell them or not, then they said that when the CER comes into the world, they give them a set of jumper cables and a can of gasoline because we always need something like that, everything is dark green, it's not. a two tone or is it all dark green, what does that say down there, Pina pen, yeah? And if you could probably open a door, if you can see how nice the interior is, it looks like an accessory that was a factory accessory, yeah. I know which one of these doors will open and how many miles it has.

I don't know, it's over 100, which is some bragging rights for a car of the era. I'm not sure it jumps out at me, well there's a little skeleton of a cat or something on the other side over here well you know, so here's a car that's been here for 60 years and it opens and closes suddenly like a new car, so there's a newspaper there from the news and the observer from 1964. sitting in the front seat, no, I don't see the clutch pedal, if you don't see the clutch, it's automatic, so it looks like It has 122,000 miles on it, okay, the interior is amazing, yeah, it put it on if you look back. there's plastic over the seats oh yeah look at that oh look at that my baby magazine Good Housekeeping okay so we need to see what the news was in 1964 there you go okay this is great so it's 1 March, so 'We're just a few days away from his 60th birthday, uhhuh, I was born in November of '64, so this, this, this was put here before I was born.

Wow, a big British airliner carrying 83 got lost and disappeared in flight over the hey, look there, that's Barry Barry Goldwater. Oh look, Barry Goldwater, who owned an AMX, yeah, what's the chance that's not it? It's very weird. President Johnson has an amazing jet. The Interceptor is not that LBJ turns 100 days old. Very interesting boss. Wow, and our mayor has, uh, is entertaining the idea of. putting this in the city museum place is not that wonderful, we don't know if it's going to happen yet, but that's the deal we're getting at the moment, so I have to admit to you that I've been to K AMC before, but it was 15 years ago, it was 2009 when I last met Robbie and at that time his father, Robert, and the

dealership

looked different, there were more cars that probably could have been started and driven, and that's it. a good job selling some inventory, you have work to do.

Yes, I'm afraid, but you know it's great to continue the legacy that your father and grandfather started and I really appreciate you meeting us and giving us. another

tour

and maybe I'll be there 15 years again, okay there you go, you're welcome, that could be a new mall, yeah there you go Robie, thank you very much, God willing, okay, thank you sir , thank you.
