AMC Rambler Classic 770 4d Sedan (3rd Gen)(1965-66) Engine 232 cu in (3800cc) S6
Registration Number HRL 516 D (first registered in the UK 2007 on an age related plate, originally issued to Truro)
The AMC Rambler Classic was marketed as an intermediate sized car built over three geneerations from 1961-66, the Classic was the high volume seller of the AMC range.
The 1965 model year Classics underwent a major redesign of the new platform that was introduced in 1963 for the 1964 model year, with the family look of the Ambassador on a 112 inch wheelbase and a 195 inch body length. The new sheet metal incorporated an integral body-frame with only the roof, doors, and windshield as carryovers, and retaining the same torque tube with coil springs with a Panhard rod. American Motors now only offered its modern straight-six engine design, retiring the aging 195.6 cu in (3.2 L) versions. The 1965 Classic base 550 models featured the modern and economical 128 hp, The 660 and 770 series received the 145 hp 232 cu in (3.8 L) six, while a 155 hp version was available as an option.
For 1966 Rambler Classics received minor trim changes and additional standard safety features, including padded dash and visors, the 660 trim level was dropped, leaving only the 550 and 770 models. Classics received particular attention to the styling of the roofs for 1966. The two-door hardtop models received a rectangular rear window and more formal and angular "crisp-line" roofline that could be covered with vinyl trim. Sedans had an optional trim-outlined "halo" roof accent colour. ..

The Ambassador was the top-of-the-line automobile produced by the American Motors Corporation (AMC) from 1958 until 1974. The vehicle was known as the AMC Ambassador, Ambassador V-8 by Rambler, and Rambler Ambassador at various times during its tenure in production. Previously, the name Ambassador had applied to Nash's "senior" full-size cars.
The sixth generation was introduced in 1967 completely restyled longer, lower, and wider than before and built on a 118 inch wheelbase. The Ambassador was positioned in the standard-size category, against traditional big cars such as Ford Galaxie, Chevrolet Impala, and Plymouth Fury
For 1968, the Ambassador came with all weather air conditioning as s 218tandard (coutesy of the Kelvinator refrigerator division), though customers could order cars without air as a "delete option" which reduced the standard price by $ 218
Styling changes were minor. Taillights were now recessed in body-color bezels that were divided by a single central horizontal bar. Front headlight bezels were now made of nylon and similarly body colored. A new injection molded ABS plastic grille was dominated by a horizontal bar that extended forward in the center from the sides, while its outline had squared off edges that wrapped forward into the inner headlight extensions, marker lights were added to the wings at the front and rear as standard equipment, as the U.S. regulations mandated, along with seat belts.
The sixth generation was replaced for 1969 by a seventh generation
