Tulsa VGG Meet 2026

1964 Rambler Classic 770 — 232 AMC I-6 · BW Flash-O-Matic

The plan was to point a 60-year-old Rambler Classic from Huntsville to the Tulsa Route 66 Capital Cruise — a Guinness World Record parade attempt on Historic Route 66, with Vice Grip Garage on site. Plans changed and we didn't make this one. The Rambler's still in the shop, still being built, and the trip plan, build status, and parts list are all kept here as the record of what we put into it.
