  1. I enjoyed the heck out of the one I owned back in the late 70s.

  2. Oh dear. Another one of my weaknesses. That color scheme too.
    My sister had a black 73 Javelin SST with a 401.

  4. Al State Troopers used those back in the day. Later used Mustang 5.0. Now all the cops drive SUV's.

    1. In the 10 years that the Alabama State Police used Javelins, they never lost a pursuit!

  5. Now THAT is a patriot's car; red, white and blue. You'll never see me in a Jeep or a Ram that uses our flag as an advertising gimmick to sell their vehicles. That is one of the MOST unPatriotic things to do and it violates US Code, Title 4.

    1. ^^ correction, 76. My dad saved it for me, then I totaled it after having my license for about 4 months. Wasn’t my fault, but inexperience didn’t help.
