AMC Website? Just bought a 71 Javelin SST, 401
 

I just can't stop buying, but this one was too hard to pass up - - Canary Yellow, gauges, tic-toc-tach, buckets, console, original 401 is built with 0 miles, auto tranny, 32k original miles, original paint, California car with NO rust.

Any good AMC websites out there? Any AMC/Javelin fans here? I'm pretty much clueless on AMC's...

Thanks,

Scott

Congrats Scott https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif . Javelins are cool cars and have nice lines. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif That 401 ought to motivate it just fine.


But I have to warn you https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif . If you are looking for support on "stop buying", I don't think this is the best forum. There are a lot of "addicts" 'round here in case you hadn't noticed. This website is like the opposite of "MCA" (aka Muscle Cars Anonymous)! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I need to find the local MCA chapter! "Hi, my name is Scott, and I have a car problem." "HI, SCOTT!" What's kind of weird now is that I just need a Mercury (unless my Fords count), Olds, Buick, and Dodge (although I already have one Mopar) and I've got one from each brand. Hmmm....I've seen some decent prices on 70 GS Buicks, and there's this guy nearby with a nice 442 for sale...

Yeah - you got the right idea Scott! Hey looks like you may be back in CONUS. If so, welcome back https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif (sorry if I missed it earlier). Hopefully a little R & R so you can focus on a "recovery from your car problem" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif !!!

Glad to be back! I returned to Ft Hood in February after 15 months in Iraq and now I'm stationed in Arlington, VA. Found a house with two garages (3 cars in each) so I've been wrenching on the cars quite a bit.

Thanks,

Scott

Scott,


What can you tell us about the car? I saw a canary yellow the another day in the Bay Area for sale but I think it was a 69.

Jason -

Car has been on the east coast for a few years, but not driven. Super clean body; trunk and undercarriage are immaculate. Lots of great options, too.

I think Dan Jensen runs a 71 401 SST now in the Pure Stocks, doesn't he?

I'll have to check on Dan's SST. My Pure Stock car is my RAIV GTO (M21, 4.33s, no power options); should be ready next spring.

Plan for the AMC at this point is a Trans Am clone.

Thanks,

Scott

Hey Scott, howz 'bout a teaser shot of your RAIV Goat? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: AMC Website? Just bought a 71 Javelin SST, 4
 

Why not clone something else ? Put it up for sale on some AMC sites. They are only original once. How many orig. 401 cars are left ?

Here you go. Car was optioned with RAIV, manual steering and brakes, 4.33 gear. Originally Pepper Green with black guts, now black on black. Engine and tranny coming out this weekend. Still looking for a RAIV carb (273) and distributor, but have everything else.

Oops, can't attach a pic from work (no access to photobucket), so I'll e mail you a recent one.
