And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Nice looking car. I wonder if it'll still be in demand after the progressive green-new-dealer's mandates put the price of a gallon of regular north of $12, and then they ban fossil-fuel powered vehicles altogether. I'm figuring it'll happen not too long after the ban on all firearms.
Had a '73 Javelin, metallic blue, but it had the stock 304, back in '78-'79. I did put headers on it, with straight pipe and Cherry Bombs. The only bad thing about that was that my mom always knew when I didn't make it home by curfew. Fun car.
The Ring brothers did an incredible job on this AMC Javelin and ruined any chance for a block like me in ever getting one. The price on these cars, even if they are JUNK, just quadrupled!
Right you are CM! Even though it's a well done piece of machinery, I too much more appreciate a stock automobile. Loved the original AMX's. Weight to HP ratio was crazy with that big V8 they shoved into it!

ReplyDeleteWow, it's amazing just how good American cars can look with proper alterations.
ReplyDeleteIt is a sweet car.
ReplyDeleteMy sister had a black one, 73 I think. She loaned it to my brother and he wrapped it around a giant palm tree. The shit we used to waste.

ReplyDeletehad a 69 Javelin in my teens, had the 343 in it. Fun car
ReplyDeleteThey finally got it done in 71... https://www.hotrod.com/articles/unbelievable-story-amc-won-trans-championship/
ReplyDeleteThat front end sure looks a lot like a '73 'Cuda

ReplyDeleteThe bottom photo has lines similar to the camaro and 'cuda
ReplyDeleteThey pushed the front axle forward to increase the wheelbase and adapted the front fenders to fit. Marvelous.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of their cars. Too over the top for me. More works of art than boulevard cruisers. Cars are meant to drive, not be museum pieces.
