Wes, I think that Shor is looking for one of these...

He's not selling one.

The confusion may be on my part, the car I posted was just for information, Steven rarely sells anything.

I do not believe Kevin ever owned a T/A but he had this at one time:

Here is another beauty, you may have seen this car in the movie "Heart like a wheel", the Shirley Muldowney story or some CHIPS tv episodes:

AMC's, call them what you want bastard children, unloved, the adopted ones or the last kid picked for the team they are cool cars that were just not accepted by the community at large. I love em!!!!

Beautiful car in the Juliano Collection. These cars were the same as their other Javelin brothers with the exception of the paint and the rear spoiler. That being said, the write-up on this car (if the engine was built to factory spec) states the horsepower at 340. The only AMC that came out of the doors of the Kenosha (or Brampton, ON plant) was the Rebel Machine which was rated at 340. That HP level was met by different intake and exhaust manifolds. Also as a side note, if you ordered your Javelin SST with a 360 in 1970 you may have gotten the special T/A block with thicker webbing and provisions for 4 bolt mains.
