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.
When I was an Army contractor working in Afghanistan one of the other contractors bought a 401 to rebuild. When he got back he did all of the performance tricks to the engine and then went looking for a car to put it in. He ended up with an early 70's Javelin that spent almost a year in a body shop getting restored. He did the car show circuit for a couple of years before he used it as a daily driver.
when I was in the army one of my contemporaries had a black Javelin that sounded throaty. I asked the owner about it and he said "my father is the east coast performance manager for AMC". I never imagined AMC with a performance manager. east coast - how many did they have?
I have always been fond of the underdog.
ReplyDeleteAMC built some pretty decent hot rods. Pick ups too.

ReplyDeleteIt's a pity that so few have survived. There's a few interesting pickups in the background too.

ReplyDeleteI remember these. If I recall correctly, the dashboards in these were made of pressed paper.
ReplyDeleteSo what is the difference between it and a Javelin. Both are fast backs.
ReplyDeleteFigured it out. 2 seater vs 4 seater basically
ReplyDeleteAMC was punching well above its weight with that one.
