1965 Rambler American 440 2-door hardtop

Fully redesigned by late AMC design chief Richard A. "Dick" Teague for the 1964 model year by shortening the 1963 Classic unit body shell and platform, the compact Rambler American continued into 1965 with modest running changes, most notably a new grille.

 

Rambler Americans came in 220 (base), 330 (midlevel) and 440 (premium) series with a 440H (later renamed Rogue) 2-door hardtop as a top line sports model. Sedans (4-door) were available in all series, 2-door sedans and 4-door wagons in 220/330 series and 2-door hardtop and convertible 440 only. The 196 six (in its final year) was standard on the Rambler American with a L-head cast iron block (90 HP) or overhead valve (125 HP), the latter standard on 440 and 440H. The new AMC "Torque Command" small block six in 232 form (155 HP) was optional on the American with automatic only.

 

13,785 440 2-door hardtops were built for 1965, factory delivered retail price $2,163 (FOB Kenosha or Brampton).
