Here's a new video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m25fK3t4sls We drove with the car last week. We tested the brakes, colling system, throttle, etc. We need to tune it a little to let it run properly, but everythings works well. |

Several years ago on a visit to Holland, I met with a group of AMC enthusiasts, one of which was driving a red, 1969 AMC Javelin 79-K. I would like, if possible, to reconnect with him as well as any other 79-K owners as I am writing a story for the French magazine, Retroviseur. If you know the owner of the red 79-K or any other Karmann-built Javelins, please E-mail me at richtruesdell@gmail.com.
To help identify the car, here's two photos I took on that trip. Although I've searched, I could not find any online registry of 79-K Karmann-built Javelins. If there is one, can someone E-mail me the URL address at richtruesdell@gmail.com? I have a 1 May, 2014 deadline to submit my materials so I would like very much to connect with as many Javelin 79-K owners as possible, as soon as I can. After the story runs in Retroviseur, I plan to run the story in my own classic car magazine, Automotive Traveler's Classic Car, available on Amazon websites worldwide, including the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Best wishes, Richard Truesdell Editorial Director, Automotive Traveler's Classic Car Contributing Editor, Retroviseur Edited by autotraveler - Mar/25/2014 at 6:04pm |

I'm already in touch with Peter with the green '70 AMX. I searched through old E-mails and found his E-mail address.
Lots of info already in with the possibility of nine surviving cars. I'll keep everyone here posted but if anyone has info, especially a high-res scan of the brochure, please get in touch with me. Thanks, Rich |

The owner of the Red Karman Javelin, is a Guy called Charles Westhoff.
He submitted pictures of that specific car to the German AMC Page too. Here is his Facebook http://www.facebook.com/charles.westhoff I had contact to a scotsmann 2 years ago, who had a Karman Javelin in a SheepShed.. bad condition and way to expensive. |

Thanks SirDigger. I've already sent him a Facebook friends request.
Does anyone know if there are any Karmann Javelins here in the US? Best, Richard Truesdell |
