1970 Javelin SST for Germany

Wow I am so jealous that is one nice looking car. If you saw either of mine (drag & street car project) you would be telling yourself the same thing.

I don’t think it would of taken much to get the car going but it is niche to be able to take your time to get it going.

Congratulations !  I am seriously jealous. 70 Javelin SST was my first new car.  I was given an exact duplicate a couple years ago.  It's like a time machine.

Having done a LOT of research can I offer a suggestion?
This stuff....

-Ram Air Hood and the AirGuides to the Carb
-Front/Rear Spoiler like on the Mark Donohue Car
-We will see what Stuff i will need.

Don't do it! These are SO RARE, less then 3000 in standard boby style of only 25,000 total -1 year only - if you keep it as close to factory original you'll preserve a historic vehicle while preserving and increase its value.  Of the very few made, survivors are down to -best guess- a few dozen.

Of course, if you do this and basically create a fake MD, that will make the other stock originals more valuable.  That's collecting for you.

A little historical note:  The CEO of American Motoers, in 1970 when your Javelin was produced, was George Romney, Mitt Romney's father.

So today, was the first day, an AMC Streetcar enterd my Garage.

500 Miles trip to Holland, 55MPH Speedlimiter on the pickup while towing trailers, damn eletronics,
14 Hours Trip twice through the "Ruhrgebiet"
this is on a saturday as crossing any bigger US City @ Rushhour.





More & better Pictures tomorow

Yeah, the outside is ok, the Interiour needs a bit of Work,
and the Eletric will need some Attention too.



Somebody cuts holes in the Doorpanels and in the Panel under the rearwindow   The Legendary Price + Taxes + toll and shipping

We will see that the local Interiour Shop will charge,
The Seats are kinda weak, and the upholstery has some holes.
Thinkin about Leather ...

The Electric... is kinda worse....  or is your horn signal switch a Doorbellswitch located on the driversside of the Centerconsole...
There was a Hifiinstallation inside, lots of cable and there is a lack of fuses inbetween, or i havent seen one.

Passengers Side Quarterwindow is Lexan at the Moment,
Glass Replacement is in the trunk of the green one,
i bought an additional one from the User Pacerman
(Great stressless trade and good packing, Thx to Joe)

Engine was overhauled 2000 Miles ago, beef up with edelbrock intake carb and camshaft, runs great and start on the first crank,

Gearbox is leaking a bit, Console Shifter needs an overhaul,

And a real rare Item, the 200Km/h Speedometer



 But the next Project is a damn Oven in the Garage, i was freezing my butt off today.

Wow, talk about bringing back memories! My MD Javelin had the exact same crack in the steering wheel and wrinkle in the dash! Factory options perhaps!  My second Javelin had the corduroy interior and it was a b*tch in the cold weather. I would get electrocuted every time I got out of the car due to static charge when sliding out of the car. But she still is looking good!

Later!
