I cannot stand sites that don't force owners to put a price down.

A real time waster as sellers have dream prices.

Too  many Mad Max movies? Looks like this Jivelin belongs on Santa Fe tracks.

Well for $94k you can't have a normal spoiler.

Well... it is different I'll give you that but, ....no
Allison Matador was pretty different too. Better looking body style IMO

I prefer the look of the earlier one even if it is not as aero friendly . Must be a pattern here I like the 70 Jav/ Amx best too

RUNCHARGER

Yes: The earlier car has the cool 68 Fury roofline.

How about a blend of early AMX with Javelin front fenders and altered wheel base. Love the metamorphosis.

Chryco Psycho

I have seen that build also , kinda cool , I like the lenthened wheelbase , not so much the front fenders

 :wrenching: l have a friend who has been restoring his Javlin for 12yrs. now because he can't find anyone who reproduces parts for AMC and the parts he finds they want an arm and a leg.

IRON MAN

It is unfortunate that AMX's and Javelin's that need a restoration are worth more in parts than as a whole car. I am the second owner of a 68 AMX 390 "GO PAK" . In the past four years used parts have sky rocketed. I think partly due to eBay pricing of what ever the market will bear mentality on collector car parts.

The guy with the Javelin is making his 12 year +  restoration very expensive by taking his time while used parts are going up in quantum leaps. New after market parts have been staying ahead of inflation. And, heaven forbid if you want you want NOS parts. On eBay a NOS t-stat housing is $125.00 and NOS "390" quarter panel emblems are $395.00. I've seen a pair of NOS tail light assemblies sell for $3,500. How much are you willing to pay to take home a trophy at the AMO Nationals?
